Sadly wiziwig is no more

Bummer! I checked Bet365 and the Cup is not on there either.

Anyone get on board the "adopt a team" initiative? Who did you pick?
I'll be following Palestine until they're out and then Japan.
Palestine because it's hard to find a smaller underdog and Japan because I just like Japan.

North Korea? Not in terms of population, but in terms of popular support. Bound to be an unwanted, unloved, underdog. And in fact I know there are qualification rules in place but I don't see how a performance in 2012 can qualify them for the 2015 Cup.
(DPR Korea qualified for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup by winning the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup)
I'm still deciding though. Qatar might be a goer.

Might be worth a look, thanks. I may spend a little bit of time down the club, they'll have games on the big screen, for sure.

Naughty me! I paid EU$5.99 to a certain provider for 1 months feed (legal) and because it's geoblocked I use a VPN and I'm set for the Cup.

Ahh remember the days when playing Qatar or Oman at ranks in the 90's where considered a joke.
Now the jokes on us.
Foxtel baby finally something to watch other than some gypsie shit. Every game live but I can't aford the red wine to enjoy it.

 

[nearlyyellow]

No Foxtel, EU5.99 and I'm fixed there and the spare change compared to Foxtel pays for heaps of red cordial.

Livetv.ru/en is normally sound

Cahill scores again! He's a freak.
Probably be a long time before we see another Socceroo like him.

A few players going down too easy in the box. I hope AP tells them to cut it out at HT.

 

[Big Al]

Yeah some bad flops.
Trent totally lost his mn on that first goal not a great start.
Luonogo steals a header from timmy. Finally goal from someone else.

 

[VicMariner]

Yeah, Luongo, always impressive and seemingly came from out of nowhere to the NT.
Hope he has a blinder this tournament.

 

[Big Al]

Great save Mat. His best game for Socceroos. Could be the game that makes him as a national team GK. He has never looked comfortable but had a blinder tonight. Hopefully that sparks his confidence as our GK and plays like he does for Brugge

 

[nearlyyellow]

Nice win. Well done Australia.

 

[true believer]

Hate to tell you TB, they were all around you.

Had hoped to go, but couldn't make it. Sounds like they never got out of first. But you just know they'll peak when they need to.

We had a good win, but to be honest, I really didn't find our performance convincing.

Matty - awesome game. What a save. Spiranovic ok, thought Trent looked better. Franjic, two good moments. One important. Otherwise why he is being selected ahead of Risdon is a mystery to me. Well... barring the team roar ala McKay shite. Behich was solid I thought. (Micky Neil has his measure though and may have a big future) Mile - terrific performance after that ankle roll with also some great long range passing. Luongo - sketchy opening then came home well - great adventure and got his reward. Troisi was our worst I thought. Leckie a few great moments, but so many sloppy moments and poor decisions that it still makes it hard to be a serious believer - if he did not have speed - not convinced he'd even be HAL level. Kruse, still a good way off his best unfortunately, talented, but such a whiner he's a hard to like. Juric, pass ffs. Burns - so unlucky, looks deadly. He movement was awesome. Bresc - class above. Tim legend.

Looking forward to tomorrow night. Home end + gold wig + attacking football = happy camper.
