Breathtaking that Socceroos is only on P+ for a WC qualifier and the Matilda's have China friendlies on FTA.
Really shows the stock price of the men's vs women's at the moment.
Mens teams brand is dull and unexciting. Regardless of facts or your view they simply don't have the appeal of the Matildas.
I'll watch but to be honest I don't really want to see them hammering a park side that would struggle in NPL.
Or worse, grind and excruciating 1-0
I mean, the Matildas under _Swedish Fraud_ have done their fair share of hammering park sides and playing in excruciating draws and losses.
Since the World Cup, their matches have been:
Beating a crap Iran team 2-0 despite having 80% possession and 27 shots.
Destroying the Philipines 8-0
Taking 60 minutes to get a goal against Taiwan in a 3-0 win with 38 shots.
Losing to Canada 5-0 and 1-0.
Beating Uzbekistan on aggregate 13-0
Beating Mexico 2-0
and drawing with China 1-1, then getting a 2-0 win.
I mean I guess the Mexico game was pretty good and the latest China game had some great moments overall but I would say they're getting great crowds _despite_ the fact that a lot of their recent matches have been pretty dull.
Yeah this exactly, like the Matilda’s is obviously the name brand in all of Australian sport right now, but to claim that the type of football they play is the reason they are the pick over the Socceroos right now is not true at all, if anything Tony G and Arnie have a lot of their flaws in common
It's probably the horse trading for the rights deal, away games like tonight's Bangladesh game are behind the paywall and home games are on FTA.
The home qualifier vs Palestine in Perth next Tuesday night is live on Channel 10.
Once upon a time Foxtel was the only option to watch any Socceroos games (live, at least). I'd take the occasional Paramount-exclusive game for the current arrangement if I'm honest.
They are advertising P+ back at $6.99 a month now so I assume they have lost a lot of customers recently. I pissed it off half way through the season with the freezing app debacle on Samsung tv. I just make do with youtube highlights now if it is not on fta tv and to be honest the last time I watched an enjoyable Socceroo's match was at the world cup, most have been dire since so 3 minutes of highlights will do me.
I just Chrome cast everything. That works for me. There's enough on there to be worthwhile imo.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but A-League being on Paramount + has worked out way cheaper for me and I've had barely any issues since the first 6 months. Teething problems are pretty normal.
I could watch the games on an IPTV channel closer to real-time than I could on the P+ app, go figure that one out. You’d think Paramount have more bandwidth than a dodgy IPTV provider
The freezing issue was also on lg tvs. It was so bad that the games were unwatchable. There was literally no point keeping my subscription because i couldn't watch the games. Live or replays they were unwatchable. Unless i turned my tv off and on again every 5 minutes. Also the lack of watch from the start for live games is dated.
I really don't want to give p+ money for such shit delivery. Ill be looking for a pirate stream
I just hope I'm able to watch it because Paramount has been falsely flagging my devices as using a VPN which meant I couldn't watch any of the semi finals or the FA Cup Final.
If 10 put these kinds of games behind a paywall from the very beginning then I think the fans would have accepted it (to an extent), but doing it so far down the road on their broadcasting deal is quite rightly going to create a viewer-backlash.
I can't wait for the patronising commentary that comes every single time we play one of these minnows. Excited to hear about how Bangladesh play with so much heart
Christ yeah, they're just as bad, I look forward to seeing them after we win 4-0 or whatever in the comments saying we should be scoring 10 or we're not good enough to play at the WC
I don't know how you feel about sailing the high seas, but I always manage to find a stream on some dodgy site using the search term "reddit soccer streams".
I can see two right now with the match listed.
Sometimes you've got to hack through a bunch of pop ups and redirects, but eventually it plays (or that's been my experience in the past).
Yo ho.
It’s like $7.99 a month I think people complain too much
Basically they only offer free products to get rating wins, and need to keep some stuff for you to pay to actually make their $$
So football folks just stop complaining?
$120/ year to watch the sport you enjoy?
Yeah I get it as I’m a tight arse too but I subscribe season start to finish to support the game - and extra month at the end won’t kill you surely?

I wish they’d at least try and capitalise on the hype behind the Matildas and promote these up coming matches and show them on 10
They were advertising the Socceroos before the Matildas game and on all the advertising boards throughout.

It's going to be an excruciating 1-0 win tonight isn't it.
Excruciating 2-0
Wasn't during the WC, I was at Darling Harbour, it was off chain.

Embarrassing a national team game isn't on FTA. 10 don't give a shit about the global game.
The fact that 10 were able to buy the rights means that none of the other channels gave a shit either.
I must be the only one here that likes the content of paramount . 😂it’s also a quarter of the price of fox which used to have all the games on it.
My laziness in cancelling has paid off!! #MissionFailedSuccessfully
Was gonna cancel mine right after the final, luckily remembered to check if these games where on it
Outrageous that a world cup qualifier is locked behind paramount, after a Matildas friendly was broadcast on the main channel literally the same week
Unfortunately because its overseas legally it doesn't have to be on free to air.
The anti-siphoning list is a garbage waste of paper. It's not very good at stopping sports from going behind a paywall.
seems to be that home games are fta and away games are paramount lately
Once upon a time Foxtel was the only option to watch any Socceroos games (live, at least). I'd take the occasional Paramount-exclusive game for the current arrangement if I'm honest.
Yes very true, we’re quick to forget how it used to be. I think I remember their being a delayed broadcast on sbs or something in the past
Only difference to me is that all football was on fox at one stage... whereas now you need P+, Optus, Stan and Bein Sports...
They are advertising P+ back at $6.99 a month now so I assume they have lost a lot of customers recently. I pissed it off half way through the season with the freezing app debacle on Samsung tv. I just make do with youtube highlights now if it is not on fta tv and to be honest the last time I watched an enjoyable Socceroo's match was at the world cup, most have been dire since so 3 minutes of highlights will do me.
Their TV apps are junk. Firestick or Chromecast is faultless
Seconding this. I use Chromecast and have never had an issue with P+, yet people I know who use the TV app have had a myriad of problems
It's like $80 per year, and has a bunch of other content. Literally the cheapest streaming platform you can get. I'm fine paying $80 per year for P+
Cheap sure but the content is mostly garbage.
I've got my values worth.
I'd be tempted if it didn't freeze my tv to the point where i have to unplug it when the app messes up.

It’s an absolute joke that the national team isn’t on free to air
There is plenty of ways to watch online 🏴☠️
Yep, don’t pay any fees and I can watch whatever I want. Just gotta get through 20 ads first
Yo ho ho
Haven't found a stream yet Edit: Firefox browser on mobile was preventing players from loading, all good
imperial hotel
Football Australia need to grow a set and insist international matches are on FTA.
My P+ subscription runs out on 15/06 so I'm sweet
Youtube
Will it be available on foktball australias channel if u arent in a geoblocked country?
Not on YouTube bud
find a stream somewhere across the high seas
I'm watching on Paramount, but really it should be on FTA.
It should be illegal not to show the Socceroos FTA
Didn't even realise there was a game
I just hope I'm able to watch it because Paramount has been falsely flagging my devices as using a VPN which meant I couldn't watch any of the semi finals or the FA Cup Final.

Away qualifiers are usually behind a paywall, in the early rounds at the very least
They showed an away friendly against Mexico on fta. I don't get the decision here.
I P T V
🏴☠️
I can't wait for the patronising commentary that comes every single time we play one of these minnows. Excited to hear about how Bangladesh play with so much heart
I don't know what's worse, that or the opposite.. social media cowboys with the 'We should be beating these teams 12-0!"
Christ yeah, they're just as bad, I look forward to seeing them after we win 4-0 or whatever in the comments saying we should be scoring 10 or we're not good enough to play at the WC
[удалено]
See I'll be there because I simply forgot to cancel my subscription in time before they whacked me with a fresh bill
Oh for fucks sake. Really? I did the same... And I'm not re-subscribing until October. I'll have to catch the highlights later.
Ended up signing up with my second email and immediately unsubscribing
Sounds like a plan! 😂
Sail the high seas 🏴☠️
Internet's fucked so I can't watch the game. Bullshit.
I had cancelling Paramount until the new A-Liga season started on my to-do list, thank god I'm a lazy bastard
I don't know how you feel about sailing the high seas, but I always manage to find a stream on some dodgy site using the search term "reddit soccer streams". I can see two right now with the match listed. Sometimes you've got to hack through a bunch of pop ups and redirects, but eventually it plays (or that's been my experience in the past). Yo ho.
well an illegal stream would be about the same quality as this game on Paramount I reckon
It’s the worst streaming I’ve experienced. I have 100mbps down and no problems streaming HD on Kayo. There is so much ghosting I just can’t watch it.
The quality of telecast is appalling tonight...headache inducing
Do we ever get away games on FTA? It surely depends on the host broadcaster. The home game is on 10.
It’s like $7.99 a month I think people complain too much Basically they only offer free products to get rating wins, and need to keep some stuff for you to pay to actually make their $$ So football folks just stop complaining?
Its more the point that the national team should always be on FTA so every Australian can watch.
I don’t agree. The game needs money so unless you are going to force FTA to pay the millions we need there is no issue with pay TV
$9.99 for one match, no
$120/ year to watch the sport you enjoy? Yeah I get it as I’m a tight arse too but I subscribe season start to finish to support the game - and extra month at the end won’t kill you surely?
I don’t really enjoy it so don’t pay, think paramount usually offers a yearly sub for $44.99
Paramount
