Just picked up my Socceroos jersey today. Along with a T-shirt for my (Italian) father-in-law which says "It's not Soccer, mate!" on the front, and "It's football!" on the back.

Will anyone else be getting up at Sparrow fart to watch these matches?

I agree in a way. I hate all the diving and rolling around like your leg has been blown off. But you've gotta get behind the Aussie boys in their first expedition to the World Cup in over 30 years!

[Jarro]

you're right Courty.

I don't follow the soccer at all, but when the Aussies play, well that's a different matter

hey, did i hear rightly that the guy from a_r_s_e_n_a_l (Henry i think his name is ) just signed a new contract for $300,000 a week

[Courty]

Everyone was all over this subject when the Aussies were trying to qualify: http://www.ozgolf.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3033

[connico]

Still watching soccer without beer and chips and by yourself is like watching...umm cant think of anything as bad to watch without mates...lol screaming at the Tv by yourself sucks really...unless your on the ****..

[CobraSS]

I'm still lamenting not buying your Topfield box Courty... for this very reason. I've been pricing new ones, they are no longer a current model but Bing Lee have a couple left that they have discounted, but i'm getting the guilts from the missus!

I'm waiting for the new HD one with twin tuners to come down in price a bit, then I'll pull the trigger.For some reason they didn't make HD PVR's until recently.

You and me both! Maybe we should suss out a group buy? Do we know anyone in the consumer electronics business that can get us an outrageously good price????

Germans looked good, I don't understand why the papers would be critical of a 4-2 win. The goals they gave up had a strong suspicion of offside.
Ecuador look a solid but unspectacular team.

Maybe before Australia's first match they should all watch Kokoda, should fire the boys up.

There's still not that much hd content around these days.

Go the topfield models - they have lots of taps (mini programs) that people write to add functionality to the units. Tons of stuff, and much of it free. Apparently the operating system for the toppys is open source.

Who's staying up late tonight to watch us take on the Japs ???

I am for sure

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE !!!

[Courty]

I'll be up for sure. I'm considering getting up to watch the Italy match at 4:30 also.

[AndyP]

I'm going to try to. I'm a bit knackered from staying up to watch the Federer/Nadal match last night.

[Courty]

Tennis.

[goughy]

I might watch the last 2 episodes of season 2 of lost!
