Please explain haha pardon the pun

For me:
* I don't like using the host comms - I'm sure there's more worldwide/British comms that are less grating than the US comms
* For Australia's games specifically - Luke Wilkshire, as great as he was, is a bit of a buzzkill on the live comms. I think he'd be great on analysis, much like Kewell - but not during the game. The only player I've ever come across that was good at both, was Craig Foster. I'll be trying to do the game with US with Simon Hill on SEN lined up, and the TV on mute and paused/delayed to sync up with it.

yer I hear you comms wise can't disagree....I just wanted to be sure of Sutho's comment.
I personally only like hearing HK at pre/HT/ post game for the rest are pretty drab/buzzkill got to say also.
In the end though I couldn't be bothered finding other links etc - I'll have to live with the buzzkill.

American commentators,Basheer, picture quality from 1980, and that’s before I mention the people in the studio.

hehe got it !
I actually don't find the pic quality that bad - does it depend the age of your tv ? even though SBS don't offer HD ?

I want to watch the replay but with a different commentary to SBS. Anyone have any easy suggestions? I’d love to here if Simon Hill commentated.

Simon comentated on SEN radio. I Watched the SBS coverage of the game, with mates, with sound down and SEN commetary. The SEN commetary was about a second ahead of the vision. No one wanted to hear the dulcet tones of Basheer, he has made too many false calls in the past.

If I'm the US I wouldn't be overly worried about us but as an Australian fan I do have quiet confidence we can get something from that game. It'll have to be another underdog performance. I hope we are less wasteful in the final third and more attacking cohesion between our run and gunners.

When we played them in a friendly they won 2-1 but I think the score flattered them.

Did a lot of stats on the game looking at replays too. Unless they have a lot more cattle to choose from, Im not sure why they are so confident?

I don't have an aerial, so everything is streaming for me - so I'll pause the stream On Demand until it lines up with SEN, and will just stay off the chat rooms until half time, etc

I don’t think Basheer watches much A League football, or even Socceroo games. He seems to know a lot more about the EPL and UEFA Champ League.

TBH D - all they got wrong was not getting the ball by Beach, plain and simple, wasn't your day on the pitch.
All the other blahblah no matter - you blew it on the day when you had lions share of possession, shot here there, on target, more corners, it just wasn't your day.
Your opponent threw their body on the line, scored from 2 counters like a assassin nuff said :)

Have to disagree.

Turkey blew it and underprepared.

On came Geria for Italiano and Irvine for Okon, both subs stronger in the air, and, they played almost 100percent of crosses in the air in the last 15 mins - to lose just about all of them to Souttar, Geria, Circati, Burgess, Irvine and Beach.

I don't think they (USA) had their best strikers available for the friendly game. Hadji Wright was however excellent on debut. Don't think Hadji got on the field against Paraguay.

US were fouling in a major way in that friendly game. They will not be able to get away with that in a World Cup game.

Quietly confident we can get something from this game.

I think they got cocky to be honest. The fact that Yildiz came on at half time is the cherry in the pudding if I'm honest. Usually those kinds of changes will come later in the second half - the half time changes being for something very specific. Given his apparent injury concerns, I think Montella took it as the perfect opportunity (Given how much we'd be dominated apparently) to rest the star player with injury concerns (because surely they could beat us without him, right?) And it just did not go that way for them.

Christian Pulisic was also injured early on for the United States in their friendly against the Socceroos.

Was Yidiz the left winger, the superb dribbler?

I've honestly phased out of football outside of our country, I could not tell you where he played positional wise. I just know he came on at half time - winger makes sense, I don't think he's a 9 or 10
