The disappearance of Wee Willie McLean: Solving America’s oldest soccer mystery

https://theathletic.com/3363062/2022/06/14/wee-willie-mclean/

A lengthy read, and (maybe) behind a paywall, but a really interesting mystery story about a Scottish-born man who emigrated to America and played for their national team as well as some semi-pro teams. He went missing in 1938 and the author of this article uncovers what actually became of him. Fascinating read, could be an entire book.

It is for me. :(

Irish politics is far more entertaining than ours

Sinn Fein contains a "huge number of convicted criminals" including tax dodgers and murderers, Ireland's deputy prime minister Leo Varadkar has said during a heated row in the country's parliament.

I’m pretty sure when Ireland introduced strict anti organised crime and money laundering measures following a number of high profile murders in the 90s and 2000s SF were the only party who opposed the measures. Doubtless based on their heartfelt belief in individual liberty and fear of state overreach.
