Pretty sure after next week all the games will be at 12 and 4am so kinda pointless for live streaming.

Yeah, but I think the final starts at 1am which is watchable, unlike the UCL final that started at 3am or something?

Also:

"Optus has made a decision to leave its app and sport streaming services free and open to everyone in Australia for the remainder of the World Cup and through to August 31. The telco says Australians who have already paid for the service will receive full refunds. That move would allow Australian sport streamers to also get the opening few weeks of the 2018-19 English Premier League season free through Optus."

Wow Floptus, that's an expensive lesson learned. I wonder how much combined money they'll lose with both the initial cost of the rights, and the subscription and advertising package refunds.

In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

So are we winning tonight or getting laughed out of the cup again?

I'm guessing laughed at because even if we win we are Australian which is just inherently funny.

Rogic should be the best player in the team, but for some reason he never turns it on for Australia. It�s probably Scotland�s fault.

I'm 100% hoping to be wrong tonight. Choke on your Jarlsberg, Danes.

Optus Actually Has An "Ethnic Dad" Segment And People Have Thoughts

Optus, the telecommunications company you may have seen in the news lately following its disastrous World Cup coverage, has drawn the ire of more subscribers for a series of "Ethnic Dad" segments that are...well...a bit much.

https://twitter.com/OptusSport/status/1009030773817556992

Featuring the comedic work of a group of guys known as Sooshi Mango, there are so far two "Ethnic Dad" segments available on the platform's sports streaming service.

Yesterday � only a day after it had to give up the rights for broadcasting the World Cup for 48 hours to free to air network SBS while it sorted its poo poo out � Optus Sport tweeted out an Ethnic Dad segment which featured the ethnic dad "Johnny" saying things like how he would like the super power to "Make-a love better to my wife."

Wednesday evening will be Optus' make-or-break moment as it once again has sole rights to stream every game of the tournament.

Oh, and ethnic dad Johnny also said he would like to play in the goalkeeper position because "he like-a touch-a the balls".

Well a point wasn't the best result, but we're still alive. The France v Peru match doesn't even matter either, we just need to beat Peru, and France to beat Denmark, by a combined 3 goals.

Also we need for Kruse to not be seen again. I've been wondering for at least 2 years how he keeps getting a game when he can't shoot or cross, at all, and nothing has changed. I assumed he was an Ange favourite but the new guy is playing him too.

Alternately if France don't win today and Denmark beat France then you just need to beat Peru, there's more than one way out!

We're gonna have to put 2+ past Peru because Denmark has a stingy defence and France is dysfunctional going forward

it�s fascinating seeing all the commentary bemoaning our finishing like the writers didn�t watch us absolutely struggle to break down inferior opponents in qualifying.

the lads have played well and to their abilities, and here�s hoping kruse and juric get novichok�d before the next game.

# ? Jun 22, 2018 03:26

busb: Mar 19, 2009; Thorgie

Well i mean its not like they're wrong . We have very little going on not just on the last touch, but the second to last touch is pretty lacking too.
i think it was fairly obvious from quals that we were going to struggle to score a goal at this world cup. two handball penalties makes us seem better than we were, even if we played pretty well from defense and defensive midfield most of the time its hard to feel aggrieved too badly at the results when you cant score goals form free play.

juric is rubbish and kruse is bad on the ball but at least works hard?? iono both are bad

a real chump: Jul 30, 2003; noice; Nap Ghost

Both wings get a shitload of ball, Leckie can hack it but Kruse is rubbish. The edges looked way more composed when Arzani came on and it eased some pressure on Leckie as well.
