I just hope Australia still comes out in force for them…💛
Thanks for the update David. I’m looking forward to the match.
I wonder how many viewers the 3rd playoff between Sweden and Australia will pull? Because given the game will be played in Brisbane, I would expect the numbers to drop off significantly.
Is this a late change? I looked at the TV Guide last night, and Saturdays game was not listed. Seems screening Ghost busters (in Sydney at least) was more important to Seven than the third place decider.
I suspect Seven’s rights for the play off kicked in when Matildas actually qualified, so not possible to schedule earlier.
