John Howard - Have you got Fox Sport?
Aussie Prime Minister will be able to watch the Socceroos on Fox at the Asia Cup
If the Aussies get to the last four of the Asia Cup, and they probably will, do you want to see pictures of John Howard in his new Socceroo tracksuit jumping up and down in front of his FoxSports channel.
All the kids and parents who would be watching in PRIMETIME if the game was on Free-to-air will not want to see it either. This is wrong and the FFA need to get Fox to the table and renegotiate a one-off deal.
How does it help Fox if 70% of Aussies can't watch what would be the biggest sporting viewer figures of the year.
Australia v Japan Final of the Asia Cup at 7.30pm.
Which Aussie wouldn't tune in if this happened?

You certainly have a point there. I believe that all Socceroos matches at major tournaments must also be available on free to air television.
Friendlies and qualifying games and the like can be on Foxsports but when it comes to major tournaments everybody needs to watch the matches and hence they must be on free to air.
Yes, FFA needs a rethink.
Mate, maybe he's a ``soccer tragic'' as well!
Good luck with your blog and the Asia Cup coverage
Cheers

David this blog journey is an interesting ne, really enjoying the whole deal.
Wonder where it will end?

You're overrating the appeal of the Socceroos. People seem to think that because a load of yuppies watched the World Cup, that those numbers would immediately spreads to all Australian international fixtures. Joe Citizen doesn't care if Australia is taking on Japan/Saudi/Iran/whoever in the Asia Cup semi-final and never will. The Asian Cup just isn't appealing to the Australian psyche.
