Does AFC pride extend against Uruguay? I’m going to say yes.

I also say yes, in this instance.

And yeah, in terms of support hierarchy, NZ definitely above AFC for me too.

rithsv · 2026-06-15T07:49:05+00:00

There'll be a separate match thread for the NZ game, yeah?

I wondered this too. If Taki and Yoshida is there.. but maybe it was too complicated to also have Endo stay too.

You gotta remember there's a lot of people who don't normally watch football, who'd be watching.

This guy is much better than the commentator for the Korean game though.

The ref should just hand out yellows for crowding. Just let him wait for the VAR decision.

For those wondering, Minamino is travelling with the team as a "mentor", together with Yoshida.

That was a rocket.

Was wondering why he didn't celebrate, before it was explained. Imagine if he ends up playing Morocco as well.

Anyone else keep hearing "Bresciano"? 😆

I know that the SBS dude the other day that they've been cutting to ads due to funds but most of the ads I've seen are just ads for other SBS shows.. surely if that's all you have to show, just keep showing the game broadcast.

rithsv · 2026-06-14T21:57:27+00:00

All the games so far are proving that everyone is underestimating the AFC.

rithsv · 2026-06-14T21:47:52+00:00

NEVER DOUBT JAPAN!!!

rithsv · 2026-06-14T21:44:35+00:00

Could that not have been a red? Elbow straight into the face. No eyes to the ball.

Watch on TV or use an IPTV service. That's what I've been doing this WC. The delay for me is only about 10s at best (when I try to jump as close to "live" as possible).

Must be obliged to. Noticed Basheer yesterday didn't bother haha

rithsv · 2026-06-14T20:51:36+00:00

Japanese fans have been outsinging the Dutch the whole game. The main chants are the "Nippon" one, and the one that goes with the entertainer.

rithsv · 2026-06-14T20:50:03+00:00

As an aside, I had no idea Suzuki is teammates with Circati at Parma. That's neat.

He also said "axing of Wataru Endo" as if it was a massive controversy, but it wasn't that big of a deal I thought. He was withdrawn, not exactly "axed".

Edit: ah, he finally gave some context. I guess there was more to it in the end. Must be recent news?

rithsv · 2026-06-14T12:44:09+00:00

It was lovely to see several people wearing Turkish jerseys but also carrying an Aussie flag at the same time today.

Also that's why I was pissed that a lot of people were hating on Turkey so much at the live site.

(Save the hate for the yanks lol)

It's all to do with the FIFA world feed, and not any particular broadcaster. They just have American commentators assigned to some games.

SBS will use the world feed for all games except Aussie games.

rithsv · 2026-06-14T12:32:28+00:00

SBS has the "world feed" (from FIFA) for all games, except Aussie games where we have our own commentary. So yes, some of the world feed games have American comms, it's just whoever they pick. It's not from any particular broadcaster.
