The resilience of these officers as they work day in and day out to protect their communities, the United States and migrants while being vilified by politicians and the media is hard to fathom.

Australia is one of the few teams who seem to have made many changes to their squad for the upcoming WC edition. South African and England too have a fair share of questionable picks. Let’s have a look at some of the most debatable decisions:...
