beIN Sports now costs $20 a month to subscribe to through a Fetch Box. Mike Tuckerman writes weekly articles for theroar.com.au about the round ball code. He wrote this comment in the comments section of his article for that site on June 26 re beIN no longer being on Fox:
''A couple of notes...
I like Daniel Mann and Joe Speight. If I was running Premier League Productions, I'd be bringing Jon Champion back from the United States at the end of this season.
John Motson's passing was awfully sad and sudden. In one obituary I read, it was revealed that Motson suffered a fall in the week or so before he passed away.
In that same obituary, there was a story Motson's attention to detail ahead of the 1988 FA Cup Final when Wimbledon famously beat...
I thought the ref had a very good game this morning. Didn't really notice him and that was the case before the game burst into life with about 10 to go. Argentina have now won 3 consecutive penalty shootouts in World Cups while France have now lost two World Cup Finals via a penalty shootout...
After a horrible weekend for the game in this country we had a World Cup Final for the ages with the GOAT debate ending in Messi's favour once and for all.
ITV commentator Sam Matterface is copping it in England for his commentary of Harry Kane's missed penalty. Matterface said ''They needed Gary Lineker, They got Chris Waddle''. The Chris Waddle reference is to do with Waddle's miss in the 1990 World Cup semi final shootout for England against the...
Brazil to beat Croatia and do it rather comfortably. The Netherlands vs Argentina is a flip of the coin for me. Some Messi brilliance to settle it. France to edge a tense match against England and Portugal to do what Spain couldn't do - score against and beat Morocco.
Spain's exit from this World Cup was basically a mirror image of what happened in Russia. Against Russia in 2018, they made about 10000000 passes for the match, score one goal, didn't look like scoring more than once and then lost on penalties. Against Morocco, they made about 10000000 passes...
There's a real World Cup 2014 feel on one side of the draw. We have Brazil vs Croatia in one Quarter Final which was the opening match of the 2014 World Cup and we can only hope the Netherlands vs Argentina match is a better spectacle than their semi final 8 years ago. Brazil and the Netherlands...
Simon Hill has defended Martin Tyler over the criticism the venerable commentator has received during this World Cup. Quotes via Yahoo.com
''It's totally unfair but it's a product of the world we live in unfortunately. Sport is becoming sold through hyperbole and the next generation sort of...
En route to reaching the final in 2018, Croatia's round of 16, quarter and semi final matches all went to extra time with the first two going to penalties and Mandzukic scoring the winner deep into extra time of their semi final. You could say they were extra time specialists 4 years ago.
It's happened before, could it happen again?
'It was a sensation' - When the Socceroos dominated Argentina in Sydney
Martin Tyler relives Australia beating world champions Argentina 4-1
The uproar over that handball is why I want Uruguay to knock Ghana out. The referee did all he could with regards to the handball; he gave the penalty and sent Suarez off.
From memory, Ghana received a fortuitous free kick which allowed them to put into the box and they may have been a...
Lukaku gives hope to all those park footballers with a dreadful first touch. Belgium are gone and so is their manager. Well done to Croatia and Morocco!!
Some humble pie on the way for me at some point today. Still can't really warm to Arnold but fair play to the bloke who's team has produced Australia's best ever group stage at a FIFA World Cup.
