Postby ghost on Sun Jun 18, 2006 8:34 pm

Interested to know how many members are actually getting up (or staying up) to watch the game.

I'm off for a snooze now, then I'll be up early in the morning to watch it for sure!
This is IMHO the one game that shouldn't be missed!!! :D
Like MCWB, I'll be flicking between the MotoGP. Had to get that in! :lol:

I will not be watching, sleep is what this body needs. I will catch up with the results on the radio at 6am in the morning. Then watch the highlights on SBS at 7pm tomorrow night.

Watching it for sure. I'm currently debating whether to kill myself by watching the MotoGP and Japan vs Croatia first, or whether to grab a few hours kip before the game. Hmm... :twisted:

I wanted to tick both boxes. I'll be watching it in bed, but that usually means I fall asleep half way through it.

I've slept most of this afternoon so I should be able to wake up an hour earlier than usual to watch a bit of the game before having to go to work...

I'll be watching! Which is why I'm rolling off now for a few hours sleep first... And if I'm very lucky, getting back to sleep for another couple of hours before having to head off at 6:30 for work... urrghh...

I'll be watching, but then it's a little easier for us up here in the northern hemisphere!

I'd love to see you guys put in a good result, but I think the Brazillians have something to prove after there last performance and your team may be in for a rough ride!

Cheers

Sorry to be a party pooper - but I'll be sleeping. Been crook for a while now and I need to look after myself. Plus I can't get SBS at my place but, even if I did, soccer isn't my thing, World Cup or not. Don't get me wrong, I wish the lads luck and hope they win tomorrow and go through to win the lot but I've just never been able to get into it. :?

Fo all you ardent fans out there, and I know you are legion, I hope you get the result you want. I'll be trying to beat a far more competitive viral adversary. :(

I'll probably be doing the same as Fozzie. Somehow I don't think my 3 y.o. will let me sleep in... :cry:

I'm not a huge soccer (football) fan but having the Aussies play Brazil in a World Cup match doesn't happen too often, so I'm in. I worked all weekend with 4.3am rises and now it's my turn to have days off and sleep in tommorow. Yeehaa! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'll be needing these tomorrow, though... 8)

Have to watch, no matter what the outcome.
Would have taped it if the video wasn't broken, but if something unreal happened like, well, who knows it is going to be unavoidable news tomorrow.

WOW :shock: I'm quite amazed at the results so far........I'm not watching it as I am up at 6.30am for work and I know I won't be able to operate at all if I watched the match.
Good luck to the Socceroos and good luck to all of you for tomorrow who are daring enough to watch the game!

I wonder whether Australia will suffer a sickie surge tomorrow...

I'm sure to watch it, but then, I don't start work that early.

One of the trade union websites here in the UK posted information on how to properly take a Sickie on the day of the last England game, as you can probably imagine the Employers were none to impressed!!

You can see the webpage here

Really, Really, REALLY unlucky guys, you should have been three if not four goals to the good in that game.

You made Brasil look very average.

Bit of a shame we didn't even score :cry: Still at least we were not too embarrassed by say 6-0 :)

Canon 20D and a bunch of lovely L glass and a 580EX. Benro tripod. Manfrotto monopod. Lowepro and Crumpler bags. And a pair of Sigma teleconverters, and some Kenko tubes.

... bugger!! :(

Nevermind. We had chances, and really should have taken them. I hope Kewell gets fit again soon, we looked so much more dangerous when he came on in the second half.

If it wasn't for that last soft goal, I would have accepted 1-0 as a pretty good result. Though I suppose I would rather see us go down fighting and trying to score goals than shut up shop and try to "only" have a 1-0 loss.

Brazil weren't 100% on their game either, we weren't far off them!! :)

So it comes down to Croatia.. A draw would see us through to the second round.

Croatia has a really strong team (they did well against Brazil), but I was not impressed by their performance against Japan...
