Footy legend's daughter takes a HUGE step to joining the most famous cheerleading squad in the world
Indianna Carroll, 27, has been invited to the US as she seeks to become a cheerleader for the Dallas Cowboys NFL team.
After impressing in the first couple of rounds, Sydney -based Carroll will now look to be named in the final 10-strong group.
'I have put my life on hold for this,' the long-term Manly Sea Eagles cheerleader told News Corp.
'Dallas cheerleaders are the epitome of cheerleading in the world.
'I have been in a (cheerleading) outfit with pompoms since I was a one-year-old. It is part of who I am.'
Carroll won't have to wait long to see if she lives out her dream - the 10 winners will be announced on July 14 at The Star, the club's Dallas headquarters.
She also stated it feels 'surreal' to have reached the final audition - and believes cheerleading offers a further 'element of entertainment to game days.'
Indianna also doesn't have to look far for inspiration - her mother Monique has been the cheerleading director at the Sea Eagles — better known as the Seabirds — for more than three decades on Sydney's northern beaches.
And if Carroll is successful, TV stardom could quickly follow - the final training camp is the subject of an upcoming Netflix documentary, America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
Meanwhile, Mark 'Spudd' Carroll previously opened up about Indianna's battle with endometriosis.
'It scared the sh** out of me,' he said in 2018.
'We have tried everything. The amount of money I've spent on doctors.
'These doctors, they think they know (it all)....they have no idea, seriously. No one knows how to cure it.
'Indi went to bed one night after screaming through the house: 'I'd rather kill myself than have this bloody horrible disease.
'I went to bed bawling. I cried myself to sleep.'

Fans beg Brandi Glanville not to use hair removal cream on her face as she attempts to fix disfigurement
Shocked fans begged not to put hair-removal cream on her face after she burned it as she attempted to fix her facial disfigurement. The 52-year-old RHOBH alum took to her TikTok on Sunday to share a bizarre video of herself featuring burns on her face after using Nair. In the clip she told her followers that they no longer have to spend absurd amounts of money on chemical peels for their face as she had a DIY solution. As there were visible signs of burning and redness on her face, she boasted about the hair-removal cream's effectiveness while admitting that she may have overdone it. She explained: 'So Nair is the fountain of youth, but I overdid it. Seven minutes don't do it.' The reality star went on to explain that she was doing some more DIY beauty methods on her mother Judith Ann Glanville who trusts her. Brandi captioned the video: 'Beauty hacks (this is a good one but do a test patch)I did 7 minutes and I'm on fire sooooioko don't to 7 minutes it also burned the loose skin off my arms & its 7 dollars [sunglasses emoji] mix up some aloe vera, cucumber and black tea put it in the freezer put it in the spray bottle and once it's cold enough spray all day cause I'm in some pain.' Concerned fans took to the comments section of the social media clip as one wrote: 'Chemical burn? [persevering face emoji] I would go to ER.' Another chimed in: 'Wait, did she nair on her face and it burned off her skin and looks like this, this cannot even be real right now. How is she just chilling being fine, I would've lost my f***ing mind looking like that. 'She's so chill about it that her face is burnt off. That's why I refuse to believe she put nair on her face! She probably got a procedure or something and being silly. Because I just I don't even know right now.!! I love Brandi but what!' Another concerned fan wrote: 'I have no words but praying for you girl.' This came just days after she made her priorities crystal clear while delivering a wild health update on her mysterious facial disfigurement on Tuesday. The former reality TV star said she couldn't wait to make out 'with a hot boy or girl' as she listed all she was looking forward to once she overcame her health ailment. Brandi made the revelation as she publicly thanked Dr. Michael Scoma, an infectious disease immunology expert who 'delivers proactive treatments to Long COVID and [Myalgic Encephalomyelitis] ME patients.' Brandi gushed on X: 'I am so thankful to my NYC angel @DrScomaME_CFS for actually wanting to help me get better. I'm finally getting answers!' 'Can't wait to live again (fix teeth, put on 10lbs, and make out with a hot boy or girl). I cannot wait to get out of this house and live!' Brandi continued: 'And then I fall in love again, but I won't let him know it. I won't lose that power, but then I will end up losing the power and will date for three years and it will be over.' Glanville has seen dozens of doctors and claimed steroids, antibiotics, and antiviral medication have all failed to help her. The Traitors contestant has spent over $113K trying to remove the hard lumps on her cheekbone, jaw, and neck which she blames on the COVID-19 vaccine and a mysterious facial parasite caught in Morocco. Haling: The star publicly thanked Dr. Michael Scoma, an infectious disease immunology expert who 'delivers proactive treatments to Long COVID and [Myalgic Encephalomyelitis] ME patients' (pictured July 16) Brandi's The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip co-star Vicki Gunvalson claims to have contracted the same exact condition, which she treats with taking Ivermectin 'twice a month.' The 63-year-old recalled on SiriusXM Tuesday: 'We all got sick when we went to Morocco. 'My stomach's bloated, I don't feel good. I feel tired. Where I'm at now is like, "Why do I always feel sluggish?" I don't go poop. Like, it's very hard for me. It might be once a week, if that.' Vicki added: 'Brandi is in so much pain. She's got a very large moves. It goes into her mouth. It's bad.'

Rod Stewart's AI tribute to Ozzy Osbourne shows musician taking selfies in heaven

Fans are all saying the same thing about Tom Brady's not-so-hot take on 'young phenom' that the US national team needs... as he gets star player's name wrong
has been criticised by football fans for stating the obvious with a not-so-hot take on the type of superstar that the US national team need to breed. The seven-time Super Bowl champion entered the footballing world back in 2023 when he purchased a stake in Birmingham City, becoming chairman of the club's new advisory board. In his first season at the club, the Blues were relegated to League One, but last season they bounced straight back into the Championship, romping to third-tier glory by 19 points over Wrexham. Brady's remarkable achievements during a 22-year career in the NFL, which was littered with gold, certainly warrant him to voice his respected opinion in American football. However, his voice is now becoming much more prominent in the game they call soccer across the pond, with a recent opinion relayed on the Men In Blazers podcast catching a lot of traction on social media, but not for the right reasons. The NFL legend stated that the US needs 'a young phenom like a Lamine Yamal ', which is not an opinion many would disagree with, as he is a Ballon d'Or contender at just 18 years old. Brady told the Men in Blazers Podcast: 'I think the reality for most athletes in America is these other sports just become very dominant because of culturally what's on television all the time. 'And what's being talked about in the schoolyard often ends up being talked about American football, basketball, baseball, hockey. 'And it's an amazing sport. It's a global sport. It's the biggest sport in the world. We all love it. And the reality is, you think about boxing, when there's an American heavyweight, everyone in America is all in on it. 'And we need the youth in America in soccer. We need a young phenom like a Lamine Yamal, a young Lionel Messi, to take over. And I believe that there will be the most amazing kind of cultural revolution for soccer here in America. 'We love rooting for winners. We love rooting for the best of the best. The World Cup is coming to America in 2026. You can't imagine the fanfare when that happens. Every stadium will be sold out. The American audience loves it.' This is not exactly what many would call a unique perspective, given Messi is regarded as the best player of this generation, while Barcelona's Yamal has drawn comparisons to the great Argentinian already at such a young age. Fans were quick to poke fun at Brady for the comment on social media, with one user sarcastically claiming, 'my boy Tom knows ball'. Not all supporters took the humourous route in their responses, though, with many being much more direct. One wrote: 'Every national team needs a young Lionel Messi.' Meanwhile, another said similarly, 'Every team in the world needs a player like Yamal, what's new?' It was also clocked that Brady got Yamal's name wrong, instead getting the starting letters of both his first name and surname the wrong way around, accidentally calling him 'Yamine Lamal'. This is not the first time that Brady has hit the footballing headlines recently after his criticism of former Birmingham head coach Wayne Rooney came to light in a five-part Amazon Prime series 'Built in Birmingham: Brady and the Blues'. In it, Brady admits to being worried about the dedication of the Manchester United legend during his disastrous spell at St Andrews. Rooney was sacked in January last year, lasting just 15 matches in the Blues' dugout. The fly-on-the-wall documentary shows Brady visiting the Birmingham training ground to observe Rooney's team meeting and training session. While driving away, he tells his business manager Ben Rawitz: 'I'm a little worried about our head coach's work ethic.'
