Bit like all those other stars like Richard Porte Max Vieri etc who everyone thought must be decent players just cause they are playing overseas

Not knocking the kid but gee I hope he ain't getting a run just cause he is playing in Europe so he must be good and lets see what he can do shit

No, I'm saying some people, one bloke in particular, who has watched him heaps and has a very high opinion of him, has been campaigning for his inclusion for ages.

Bobo Vieri too

Fifa & Russia, what a great combination

http://www.theguardian.com/football/...on-against-ffa

not completely qualifier related, but the socceroos are suing the FFA for payment of bonuses.

So when is this game kicking off Wed morning?
Wiki says 9pm local time
Fox starts at 12-2am, (post match 2-2:30am)
SBS starts 12:30 but I heard 1 hour delay?? so....1.5 hour preamble? Unless it IS live. (1/2h preamble)
timeanddate.com confirms +4h difference????

Scott Noidea atm...

Main game kicks off midnight our time.

Fox will show Nippon v Singapore at 9pm, then Socceroos Preamble, then the game kicks off at 12.

SBS will have their preamble at 12:30, with a 1am start.

12am-2am is the crappest time in the world for a football match. do I stay up before the match, stay up after the match, or go to sleep before and then after the game!!!!

An explanation about KO time shenanigans here at TWG

Changed from 9pm to 8pm. Faarrkk...6pm (10pm here) would have been choice!

I only picked it up yesterday or maybe Sunday, whenever it was on special on Steam. But I've loved the NBA 2k series since I first started playing, would definitely recommend.

Are SBS viewers staying out of this thread?
