Are you able to watch these games Dave? Did you pony up to watch at home? Just curious. It was a good game, don’t often find myself cheering for Aus teams but hey… against Brazil anyone needs a bit of support.

Sure, why the hell not! Name the game! I’ll need to check which ones they are showing. Kosher Pizza Meter is located in the shopping center…I think I’m free every night this week.
