It’s currently half time now SBS between Brazil and Ecuador. After a short ad break, they went on showing highlights of the Brazil Argentina match, with the ticker at the bottom of the screen saying:
“It’s half-time of Matchday 7 of the Conmebol FIFA 2026 World Cup Qualifiers, You are currently watching highlights of the Brazil vs Argentina match from Matchday 6”

Opening titles: The World Game presents The Weekly Football Wrap. I did not know that The World Game was still around. Just assumed it was SBS Sports these days.
Alex Brosque is the first guest of this show. The set is very simple.
The soccer (football) highlights is a bit jarring though. The right corner curve is annoying.

With a focus on family, community and local culture, it’s an unmissable event. From playing in the Knockout with family, to working on the sidelines for NITV, there’s nowhere I’d rather be than with mob on the October long weekend.”
NITV’s Acting Head of Indigenous Commissions and Production, Adam Manovic, said: “We are excited to once again share the thrilling action from the annual Koori Knockout with fans across Australia. Our coverage will showcase all tiers of rugby league, live and in high definition on NITV, SBS and SBS On Demand. We continue our commitment to celebrating the achievements of our First Nations peoples onscreen, and the iconic Koori Knockout is one of the many ways that all Australians can see blak excellence on TV and online.”

SBS’s Conmebol coverage had no local component. Half time featured some previous game highlights with a crawler. Image quality wasn’t too bad compared to some of the previous games.
