CH 10 - Pinch Me

[midfielder]

Tonight in the sports part of Tens late news football and the A-league was given about 10 mins..

This means to me one of three things.

1) Part of deal with FFA over BECKS,

2) Given the incoming commonwealth government went on SBS prior to the election and said Socceroos WCQ would go free to air, maybe CH 10, given rating for BECKS are going to bid for free to air rights. Assuming pollie's keeps promise lol.

3) A bit of both.

My head says its all part of the BECKS deal, my heart says its because CH 10, are going after Socceroos.

I hope my heart is right ............... and .............. someone does not wake me up soon and goes ............... was just part of BECKS deal.

If the rights to the WCQ's are available to FTA, expect SBS and ABC to be left in the dust of 9 & 10 (wont mention the other one because they apparently hate the game??)

I thought that SBS had stitched up the WCQ AND the WC with FIFA til after this upcoming WC?
In which case, all WCQ and the WC matches would be on SBS.
OTHER matches involving the Socceroos may be up for grabs?

It's good that TEN has given some decent air time to the HAL, hopefully there's some good matches played this weekend that are worthy of some coverage for FTA news.

SBS has the WC itself
