I am going for the Soccoroos, obviously because England aren’t playing.

Looking forward to it but disappointed it isn’t on SBS ;(

underdogs is a better way to go in.

rankings are a bit silly.

I’m led to believe that with the present FIFA rankings, Australia are only the third-ranked team behind Iran and Japan. Mind you, the FIFA ranking system is an absolute joke.

Most relieved about the games starting at 8:30 instead of 5:30 so that I can make church commitments and see the game. I reckon I’ll be out of the door as soon as the service ends though!

I also have bad news for those SBS fans (i.e. those w/o Fox) It will only be telecast on Fox not sbs, i checked the TV Guide. Thats pretty lame, but SBS does have le Tour de France on starting on Sunday.

Dave, i think the times listed on TWG are the local times and therefore the game with start approx 3-4 hours later than those times, I recall seeing an ad of fox for the first Aussie game and the telecast started at 8:30. So you may enjoy seeing some Socceroo action.

Thanks dave for letting me know exactly when the games are on. SBS or Fox?

Yes, the heat could be a problem. So could our defence.

I think I preferred going in as the underdog and not favourites!
