George Frederick Blanda was of Slovak heritage, and his dad was a Pittsburgh coal miner. He played his final NFL game on 4 January 1976, at the age of 48 years, 109 days, a record that still stands. Blanda intended to keep playing, but he was not in the Oakland Raiders’ plans.

“I saw the rainbows as a possibility, sitting on the hot seat, ” she says. “There was a little bit of disappointment, but it didn’t last long.” It is Brown’s first-ever medal at the world championships. “My goal was to be on the podium and my dream was to win the race, ” she tells a subsequent press conference. “I achieved my goal and I can still aim towards that dream.” It’s a poetic line, one she has already used in the post-race broadcast interview. “I thought, yep, that really sums up how I’m feeling – so I’ll use it again.”

“Why, this George Blanda is as good as his father, who used to play for Houston, ” Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt said, tongue in cheek, playfully comparing the same quarterback at two stages of his career.

There’s no real mystery over Joel Selwood’s next move either. There was a finality to Saturday – the banana goal, the tears, the speech. In a week that laid bare everything that is wrong with the game, watching him hand his boots to the Auskick boy was a lovely touch. He’s led an almost perfect footballing life. But he needed that premiership as captain. It’s hard to think of a footballer who deserved it more.

Having already once stood on the world championships podium in front of her home crowd this week, Brown is hoping for a repeat on Saturday. “To do that again would be pretty epic, ” she says. If she finds herself in a lead-group at the pointy end of the race, there’ll only be one thought in Brown’s mind: “I’ll be thinking – ‘how can I win?’”

Scott didn’t seem particularly perturbed following those losses, which was unusual for him. In previous years, they’ve seemed spooked by the big occasion, and by heaving, unfriendly crowds. But they finally stood up in those games. Against Richmond, Port Adelaide and twice against Collingwood, they were on the ropes at times but weathered the punches.

And with just two months until Germany begin their World Cup campaign against Japan, perhaps the most pressing question remains unanswered: who starts up front? Timo Werner? Kai Havertz? Nobody? Werner is currently the man in possession – Flick is a fan of his speed, his work-rate and aggression off the ball – but has scored in just one of his last six games. Lukas Nmecha of Wolfsburg is highly rated but not (yet) a consistent scoring threat. Which is why there is increasing speculation that there may still be time for a late bolter such as Niclas Füllkrug of Werder Bremen or Nils Petersen at Freiburg to make the plane.

n the fourth quarter of Sydney’s SCG preliminary final against Collingwood, I remained serenely calm as the Magpies ran down the Swans’ large lead. When Sydney won in a thriller, it seemed my faith had been rewarded, in that strange way football matches take on cosmological significance for fans who feel the chaos of on-field play more like the tug of fate.

And yet for all the words about Federer’s play – and I have written my fair share – after the memories of the backhand and inside-out forehand fade, I will remember the sight of him after playing his final match sitting next to his longest and greatest rival, Rafa Nadal, both men in tears.

Lamonica jammed his shoulder in the fourth quarter a week later against the Cleveland Browns, so Blanda drove the Raiders 69 yards to tie the game with 1 minutes 34 seconds left, then kicked a 52-yard field goal with three seconds left for a 23-20 victory. “Let George do it! That’s what our guys now think, ” proclaimed Ben Davidson, the Raiders’ mammoth defensive end.

Cooney was one of the reporters to whom Blanda gave an interview after he was cut. There were conditions: the reporters had to help him load his car first. There would be no news conference, no farewell tour. Most of Blanda’s answers were only two or three words, anyway.

The Panthers are, of course, on their way to a third straight grand final for the first time in the club’s history. They are heavily favoured to become just the second team of the NRL era to win back-to-back premierships. They have two minor premierships over that stretch and have lost just eight of their past 68 regular-season games. Perhaps most importantly is that Penrith are a team built on local juniors who have come through an expansive club system which was neglected for so long but has grown a group of players representing the unique characteristics of their district.

It says so much about both. Federer you can understand crying, because his career is over – all sportsmen and women do that (how can you not!). But for Nadal to cry says so much of both. How they have played how they have fought and how they have not lost their humanity to the lust for victory.

The disappointment of Saturday, and being only seconds away from the world champion’s jersey in the time trial a week before, have added fuel to the fire of Brown’s motivation. The respective winners are both older than 30-year-old Brown – van Dijk is 35, van Vleuten is 39 – suggesting time is on her side. “It seems like the women’s peloton gets better with age, ” she laughs. “It’s definitely not over yet.”

There is a stark contrast here to England’s wall of wailing, and perhaps it is one that speaks to the respective footballing maturity of these two nations. In England we remain essentially incapable of analysing the national team without resorting to the register of crisis, hyperbole and ultimacy: he’s done, she’s finished, they’ll never win a thing, it’s coming home.

To have them both meet in the season’s showcase event, in front of the nation, is a boon. This could be the most-watched NRL grand final in history. The genuine rivalry runs as deep as that between the Roosters and Rabbitohs, Sharks and Dragons, and Broncos and Cowboys. Over the past 30 years, only the 2015 decider between Brisbane and North Queensland featured two genuine geographic rivals.
