They were never really troubling us in defence either.
Considering how bad our defensive efforts have been in recent times that takes some level of incompetence to not be troubling the Gypo in goals
This the same France that beat Germany on the way to the Euro finals last year?Quote:

but yeah of course they will aim up against us.
Their midfield is the scariest part for meQuote:

Awesome, thanks.
Not sure whether to do cat 2 or 3 Australia tickets (purely from the logic of 5000 applying for cat 3, 2000 applying for cat 2 esque thinking).
How successful are people? A group of 8 I know are each trying for 4 tickets.
32 x 3 tickets is a lot to try an offload right?
Looking online and what not. Denmark fans are extremely happy to have drawn us and are not worried about a team that couldnt beat thailand
Most Aussies will get their tickets in the next application.Quote:

Thing called the internet to get rid of them
Green and Gold army and Fanatics run websites Facebook etc which will have people looking for tickets
Then you can even try looking at palming them off on other random football forums from around the world or BigSoccer etc
Use the tickets for trade for other games you interested in
It the World Cup don't forget even if you can't get or organise a trade before you leave Australia when you get to Europe there is plenty of football fans from all over the world with pockets full of cash on holidays .
Offer them tickets and it won't be long to find a buyer just don't do it around the ground
interesting.
They make you:
a) nominate if you are an Australian Supporter.
b) enter in Passport details of everyone you apply for tickets for.
Is this normal? or some kind of trick that means one passport number = one ticket (would this mean if 4 applications went in, only 1 would be successful)
They done a lot of that shit in BrazilQuote:

Makes no difference
They make up rules they don't / can't ever enforce
Just don't be selling tickets above market rate or selling them around the ground on Match day etc and you getting them for your own personal use then no great dramas. Same as the cops and drugs. They don't give a **** if you have a small amount for personal use etc but don't be caught selling the things etc
Stop worrying about it. I did the same and it never eventuates
Isaias apparently in contention for Socceroos jumper .... why not?.. what you all think?
I think big YESQuote:

Latest FIFA rankings.
So, we're playing 9th, 11th & 12th in the world.
:fright:
We better get this coaching appointment right.
we fkt
sweet jesus, just realised not all games will be live on SBS.
anyone know if Optus is offering a WC package or is it only their standard set up?
Optus are having every WC game i believe, probs worth paying for it while its on. Best thing is being able to watch on demand.
Yeah but you can’t just buy a WC package right?Quote:

If not on current contract with broadband you can hop out of your current broadband then bounce back in a month later. is a hassle but gets you the gig. Also getting hooked up a day or 2 before is a risk spesh if theres delays. you can cut out before the semis & final as they on SBS
hope optass lose this sh1t.
There may be a sweetened deal just before but not holding breath
I'd say they will offer a special deal. Makes too much business sense not to.
Imagine having a huge takeup for 6 weeks or whatever. Conservative estimates would assume around a 30% retention rate. Better having cash in your coffers for a month, with potential for long-term subscribers once they are in.
can people buy 2 & share? not that I would suggest any of that by PMing
My only issue with the potential for a special deal closer to kickoff is that it may be unlikely due to people signing up for 2 year contracts under the impression it was the only way they could watch.
Looks like I’ll just have to book a trip to Russia.
So forgetting the every one hates Optus line let's bag them angle
Are the WC tv rights meant to be on FTA and the FTA stations have neglected to take them up as part of the anti siphoning they get first crack at them or has something changed here
I know Les had a lot of pull at SBS and him going will see their interest in football diminish but I surprised the other FTA stations have not shown interest
If that eventuates, they'll probably credit those early adopters with a month's fees for the World Cup. Easy fixQuote:

I’m sure Cricket and rugby WC’s are all now pay tv owned aside from Aussie games yeah?
SBS has 25 of the 64 games and that is more than previous yrs gone. Yes the anti siphon laws were needed to get those. fta hasnt had them for yrs. other fta stations are bogan retards and cgaf unless ratings rise with miminal ca$h outlay.Quote:

btw SBS has all 64 games on radio in an ethnic voice so Plague cancel the tix!!!
I was no fazed (h/t Biraz) because I’m sure Sky NZ has it and I am subscribed to them to watch EPL
But
About 2 weeks ago my account is now geo blocked and I can’t watch EPL.
Can’t work it out (neither can my VPN support) but I’m locked out.
Maybe the yanks have something I can sign up for online? Anyone use their services?
Nah, I’ve reached a point in my life that unless I can see ALL the football I’m moving into a Timezone that makes it possible.Quote:

as for radio? How do they describe the hot Sth American birds the cameraman always finds during the games?
I don’t want to ‘hear’ titties.
I actually did consider ****ing off to Thailand for the WC as the timezone be much more beneficial for watching games
It was one thing I did enjoy when I left Brazil for Argentina and Chile
Watching the games in the arvo early evening
Made for a great time being able to pull in to a bar and watch the games at a reasonable hour
Only problem is that the 3 hour time difference ain't going to make it much better for us really plus I think I would get Shitfaced every night and not see much of it
Cahil signed for Millwall
Money taken from account! Russia time!
Tickets to 3 x Australia games, Sweden v Korea, Iceland v nigeria confirmed.
Missed out on Germany v Sweden though.
