Default Who's watching the soccer in the wee hours?

Who's going to be watching the soccer live?
Australia v Crotia
I know the game starts at 4.30am Adelaide time & it makes it a long day but its a massive game.
Go Aussies

I'll set the alarm at 4.45am.
Tried to sleep early before the Brazil match, didn't get much sleep, stayed up to watch game, tried to sleep after match and didn't get much sleep also.
I guess it must be the adrenalin build up all week.

Anything before 6am I reckon should be called yesterday... friggin early! The only time I get up at 4.30am or so is to either go to winton for the V8's or to the snow

But, this soccer caper has got me hooked in to watch to see how far they progress! No doubt I'll be buggered tomorrow night after doing a day's paving also but if they win and I missed it i'de be dirty

Boring I could think of some sports that are truly boring eg sycnrinised swimming - but I wouldnt put the world game in that category. Scores like NIL NIL can still produce an exciting contest with great skills.

My alarm is already set for 4.45am. Enough time for a coffee and then jump into the recliner, relax and watch. Should be a good game....
