Still, 20million people will all be in the same boat...long, late nights, red eye in the morning..they may as well give everyone the time off

I read somewhere (I think it was on the Sydney Morning Herald site some time ago) that they had bought the rights for $10m to show all 64 games live!! I hope it's true.

Hi threlly
Thanks for confirming.......that is great news indeed. There will be 8 occassions when the final two group games are played at the same time - I guess they will show the best one, unless they have another channel?

Re: World Cup: Group Stage Kick Off times in Australia
Does anyone know if the round two match times are published anywhere.
Total panic here as we land at LHR on the 25th at 3.30pm and if England are 2nd in their group they could be playing the first game of group two scheduled for that day. He He hubby thought he had it so well planned.
Found the answer, husband is now on the phone as I type trying to change airline ticket

As for the Roos, I would love to seem them do well, but I think they will be lucky to get a point. All the teams they play are good...yes even Japan.
