Imagine sinking into some bubbles looking out across an azure sea, or enjoying a soak with a chilled glass of champagne over a cityscape.<\/p>\nAnthony Wood – Traveller<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Sure, there have always been tourists behaving badly ever since the first tourist existed. But, in an age where travel has become so easy and ubiquitous for so many for the first time, those problems have amplified a thousandfold. Destinations didn\u2019t have the necessary infrastructure to handle the flood of tourists cheap travel brought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The top two in each group will progress to the 16-team knockout round, which also includes the four third-placed teams with the most points. One of those teams will meet the winner of Australia\u2019s pool, but even if the Wallabies finish second \u2013 in line with their current ranking \u2013 they will only meet a runner-up from another group, thereby avoiding a likely top seed in the round of 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s a decided advantage for the hosts, given runners up in pool B and pool D face other group winners. While stadiums for some matches are locked in, including the first match at Perth\u2019s Optus Stadium and the final at Accor Stadium in Sydney, there is uncertainty around others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is still a possibility Victoria\u2019s two last-16 and seven pool matches include a fixture at the MCG. However, the state government\u2019s multi-year deal with the NFL has left organisers in limbo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tournament runs between the start of October and mid-November, overlapping the early weeks of the 2026-27 NFL season. Under Victoria\u2019s much-vaunted NFL agreement, the American league is afforded a window to decide when to visit Melbourne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we yearn to reconnect with friends, family, and the world at large, I think that what we\u2019ve gone through has also given many of us a chance to reflect on all the things we took for granted: the outdoors, community, neighborhood restaurants, and the arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From flouting rules and refusing to wear a mask to hosting parties, coughing on others, and just generally being selfish, the pandemic has shown us that the world is filled with more assholes than we thought. But, despite all of that, when it comes to the future of travel, I think the pandemic is going to make it better<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wednesday night\u2019s proceedings in Sydney will unveil the minnows Australia are expected to trounce on their way to the knockout round, as well as the Wallabies\u2019 main group rival and opponent in the pool stage\u2019s marquee clash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19556,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":"","_tec_slr_enabled":"","_tec_slr_layout":""},"categories":[22,21],"tags":[30,127],"class_list":["post-19448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-match-analysis","category-player-profiles","tag-club-tournament","tag-football","layout-1","product-add-to-cart-ajax"],"ticketed":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wptheme.co\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wptheme.co\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wptheme.co\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wptheme.co\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wptheme.co\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wptheme.co\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19448\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wptheme.co\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wptheme.co\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wptheme.co\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wptheme.co\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
