CUP FEVER TIME

Is there any way to turn off the goal markings on the sbs full replay timeline? Annoying.

Anyone using VPN to watch it instead of SBS.. the lack of analysis is super annoying Boateng kept trying to explain how there was space in the midfield and how the striker should be in the occupying it but they were cutting him off to talk more cliche dribble every other aussie footballer/analyst does bar maybe foz.

Wanted to clicked ahead and 6 bloody ads load before resuming. That 11 Euro Meganta world cup package sounds enticing but they might have ads in their replays too.

the SBS dude is pretty annoying, Mcbreen and Lydia are good, even Boeteng though I was surprised he was there, I'm wondering if he quit after the first show lol.

Oh that guy. FFS part of the Messi this and PSG that generation cohort. I've seen mixed footage over the years and while he's got knowledge across the sport, it's the constant references to the biggest names and clubs in the game when looking at a tournament when I'd rather a much broader view.

I wasn't sure about Lydia Williams being involved but I am warming to her as a studio commentator.

Good commentator, has actual experience as a player too. She was the Matildas number one for years and played for Arsenal once.

You’re not alone. Claudio “Claudes” Fabiano is one of the most hated commentators out there.

Isn’t he a Chelsea fan who hardly watches the A-League? Ditto for Nick Stav but a Gooner?

For a team that's meant to be defensive juggernaut, Paraguay is terrible defensively.

Stage fright I think initially - this is why World Cup experience is key for us - not so sure Leckie’s inclusion looks bad at this point..

Port Douglas.

Huge screen in a sports bar.

Can’t believe USA are 3 up?

Have missed first 60 mins.

You might be right.
The US could easily have scored 5.

No, but it has been.

We are dogsitting in Cairns for 25 days.

4-1 to USA - astonishing.
