Flopball World Cup Coverage

[Frank Gallagher]

What's the go? No coverage?

I was keen to see some floppin.

SBS sold the rights to Optus in exchange for 1 PL game each week for 3 years.
Only the finals and Australian games are FTA.

25 games are fta.

We any chance tonight?

It's absolutely pathetic that the people's game is no more.

We now live in the draconian regime of optus who dictate where games are shown and what matches are FTA.

The football World Cup stood for inclusion of all cultures and people. Optus decided that a paywall was necessary to experience that.

No.

Keeping it within 3 goals would be an achievement. Even though France are prone to meltdowns, the talent gap is just too overwhelming.

What if we all flopped at the same time?

Portugal v Spain is on now.

Rolando converted a penalty, so Spain will attack. Should be a good game.

On SBS now.

That game is free.

Great half!

 

[Luv_our_club]

Ronaldo has just become a God in Portugal... again. His free kick, 3rd goal, will make some back pages.

Don’t blame Optus. Blame FIFA who sold the rights in the first place without stipulating it can only be available FTA

Then blame SBS for on selling to Optus.

 

[BPikkers]

Then blame SBS for on selling to Optus.

FIFA could have stipulated in contracts that a min of 70% of games should be FTA. That would have dealt with the onselling. I’m guessing the WC rights are not cheap. Given the Timezone issues it would be difficult for SBS to pay up and be able to recoup.

I'm going to get all political and display some leftie rage and say that funding cuts to what conservative governments view as am obstacle to their 'born to rule' ambition are most to blame. If it ain't Murdoch it's media they can do without.

There was no problem before with SBS showing every single game of the World Cup.

Odds on

It’s almost like the OP didn’t want to watch any matches and instead build a thread on false pretences to unsubtlely attack the sport about flopping.

 

[Jesse Custer]

Flop ball? Haha what a douche

 

[Farang83150]

Why is there a thread about soccer(crap game, sux and is boring) on this board, take your crap round ball game elsewhere.
