Why are England wearing black armbands at Women’s World Cup?
England are back in action with their second Women’s World Cup 2023 against Denmark in Sydney. Sarina Wiegman made two changes from the side that started in the 1-0 victory over Haiti. Lauren James and Rachel Daly started at the Allianz Stadium, with the former curling a beautiful opener for the first Lionesses goal since the Finalissima against Brazil. England’s players could be seen wearing black armbands for the Group D match. The move is a gesture and tribute to the late Trevor Francis. Millie Bright was also wearing an armband to celebrate Indigenous People. The former England striker, who was the first £1 million player, died on Monday, aged 69. A picture and a message for Francis was also seen on the big screen at the Allianz Stadium. Francis earned 52 England caps across a legendary career playing for Birmingham City, Nottingham Forest, QPR and Sheffield Wednesday.

The 'You're My Bird' sculpture from viral TikTok trend explained
There is always a new trend circulating on TikTok, and the most recent one making rounds involves people writing "You're my bird." As part of the trend, users are posting photos of themselves with a friend, partner, family member or loved one along with the writing "you're my bird," as part of a slideshow. Emotional music also plays in the background, as people swipe to the second image that reads: "You're what?" Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter For the third and final image in the slideshow, there is a photo of a male sculpture saying “I can’t do this anymore” while a bird replied: “Yes you can.” The bronze sculpture itself is a small metal bird that is flying and lifting a man off the floor using its two feet to lift him up from his shirt. So when people say a loved one is "their bird," it means when you're feeling down they are someone who helps you to get back up on your feet. @ayeesidh I love this trend❤️ i rmr when i had my baby & was going through some of the darkest days during post partum all i wanted was to just curl up in my moms lap and let out all my emotions. Thankful for her ❤️❤️❤️ | #fyp #foryoupage #foryou #lovingmom #iloveyoumom Oslo-based Norweigan artist Fredrik Raddum is the artist behind the sculpture which is from a 2017 collection called ‘Hacienda Paradise – Utopia Experiment’ displayed at art gallery Galleri Brandstrup. The sculptures are based on a true story from the 1930s where a group of Europeans left their homes to live on the Galápagos Islands, with the move being described as "The Galápagos Affair," according to My Modern Met. During this time there were unsolved disappearances on the Galapagos island of Floreana and a documentary was made on the subject back in 2013 titled: "The Galapagos Affair: Satan Came to Eden."

USA's Lindsey Horan becomes sensation after cameras catch her yelling "f***ing b****" at club teammate
We’re only a handful of games in, but the USA’s Lindsey Horan has already given us a great moment from the Women’s World Cup. It came during the USA’s tightly-contested 1-1 draw against the Netherlands in the group stage, and it was Horan who scored their only goal of the game. The goal took place following a clash with her club teammate Danielle van de Donk. The pair both play for Olympique Lyonnais, but it didn’t stop van de Donk from fouling her on the 59th minute and resulting in Horan needing medical attention. Of course, friendships go out the window at major tournaments and Horan was reportedly seen calling her a “f***ing b****” by the cameras while she was getting treatment. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter She was soon back on her feet and when the USA won a corner, she was soon clashing with van de Donk again. Things got a little heated between the pair and the referee had to pull them apart before the corner was taken. They were still going at each other just before the ball came in, but Horan managed to focus before making a run to the near post and putting a great header past the keeper to tie the game. It looked like there was no love lost between Horan and van de Donk, but the club teammates were spotted making up after the game. Have your say in our news democracy.

Joe Pesci's 'stomach-churning' SNL rant about Sinead O'Connor resurfaces following death
Joe Pesci's damning SNL speech about Sinead O'Connor has resurfaced following the singer's death. In the monologue delivered in the weeks following her ripping up a photo of the Pope, the actor pieces the photo back together and expresses his dismay. "I would've grabbed her by her... eyebrows. Ah, what am I doing? I'm making myself crazy, for what?", he rants. "I mean, she's just a kid, why should I care? Anyway, the Pope has probably forgiven her already, he forgave that guy that shot him, right?" Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter
