FOOTBALL: SOCCEROOS V SYRIA

Thursday, 18 January
LIVE from 10pm AEDT on 10 in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide
LIVE from 9pm AEST on 10 Bold in Brisbane
LIVE from 7pm AWST on 10 Bold in Perth

After taking on India in their opening Asian Cup match, the Subway Socceroos face Syria in their second of three group stage matches.

The Socceroos are a strong chance to go deep in the tournament, but face a tough battle with Syria in this must-win match. Can Graham Arnold’s side show their worth and take all three points in this match up against world #91?

According to Socceroos website, the warm-up match against Bahrain will also be shown live on 10.

It appears that this match has gone back to being a Paramount+ exclusive, with nothing showing up in the TV guide and references to Channel 10 coverage being dropped from the Socceroos Twitter posts.

Yeah no surprises, unlikely to draw a large audience.

Was this a repeat last night for some reason? In the same timeslot as the previous week. I couldn’t find a new episode uploaded on 10 Play.

[William_C]

you will find it will be screening tomorrow night.

FOOTBALL: SOCCEROOS V UZBEKISTAN

Tuesday, 23 January 9.50pm AEDT

The Subway Socceroos tackle world number #68 Uzbekistan in their third and final group stage match of the AFC Asian Cup. Having beaten Uzbekistan in the 2019 Asian Cup Round of 16 on penalties, the Socceroos will be hunting for the win to ensure they advance to the Round of 16 matches at this year’s tournament.

They’re not really promoting the Asian cup given Australia has a good chance. There’s no hype building. At least they’ll have a presence on the ground with the call.

[foxyrover]

Correct, I know that at least Simon Hill is on the ground in Qatar to call.

[yellow_sock]

Agree 100%. Am not sure why they’re not promoting this at all either. Zero hype. We just need a few random ads here and there, instead of the same ads over and over again (Gladiators and Deal or No Deal). There seems more of a discussion in this forum than on 10’s platforms.

Glad that Simon Hill will be there on ground.

This Saturday (13 January), 10Bold is showing a double header from Allianz Stadium (as part of the United Round):

• all are aedt

I’ve seen some promos

[cmo]

They sort of only promote it in the one ad before sports segment on the news. It’s not on high rotation throughout the day or in prime time.

[TVL]

It was another repeat. Seems strange to repeat the same episode from the week before in the same timeslot the next week twice?

[Josh_Lunan]

I can’t find the Qatar v Lebanon game on demand on P+ yet. I imagine it will take some time to upload it but at least a 2-3min highlights package within 2 hours of the final whistle shouldn’t be that difficult since literally every other football streaming service can do it. Doesn’t give me much hope for the rest of the tournament or the Socceroos game tonigt.

[JohnsonTV]

If it is just highlights you want, they are available on the official YouTube channel of AFC Asian Cup.

[killy06]

I can see that it’s up now, both the highlights and match replay.

[TV.Cynic]

Tonight’s game covered on 10 News tody.

Also tonight

[Josh_Lunan]

I still can’t find it - maybe its because I have the P+ extension on Prime rather than the normal service.

[Josh_Lunan]

It says the video is unavailable.

[cmo]

Audio issues early in the coverage tonight.

Looks like they’re using the larger football set rather than usual smaller shoebox. Much longer and wide shots rather than the tight ones used on A league coverage.

Simon Hill and Andy Harper on the ground for the call. Weird looking mic flags.
