Only set the alarm and got up at 5am to continue a personal tradition of watching every CL final live on TV since 2005, but gradually losing interest… first and last CL game for me this season.
The first one was hard to top I guess, and some great classics over the years.
It’s desperate times when the only alternative to PSG winning it is Bayern Munich.
They still do this?
This morning, Juve fans around the world had misty-eyed memories of Filippo Inzaghi as Alvaro Morata managed to get three goals chalked out due to offside.
New reader on B-Rock managed to call them Jewventus today.

Well that’s a weird one
Optus sport were pretty good at pulling a swifty on Fox and SBS in the past, looks like they’ve been gazumped this time themselves
I haven’t even heard of this company before
There was me convinced you were a huge fan of Serbian Rugby League…
More competition is good. Smaller company is the same as any of the others but $20m over 3 years requires a pretty significant number of subscribers. Not sure how viable it will be - although Nicaraguan League is going to help.
More competition is good but it dilutes the content. Pretty soon we will be paying the equivalent of a foxtel subscription to get the equivalent content
I have a bad feeling that in 12 months, you won’t hear from them again. That’s a lot of money for a small streaming service, especially when the rest of their sporting offering makes The Ocho look bourgeois in comparison.
They paid $60 million for 3 years… according to the article by Rugari.
“Optus Sport’s football offering but the telco, along with other competitors, was left stunned by Sports Flick’s bid, which sources suggest was about $60 million for a three-year period, starting in the 2021-22 season”
I could have sworn that said $20M earlier, which I thought was silly enough…
Yeah I was thinking the same thing, they will have to sell a shit load of subscriptions to cover that massive outlay. I’d imagine in the off season they will lose all their subscribers as well. Apart from Serbian Legaue fans of course
It did. They’ve updated since then. $20m/season.
Could they have done this to sell it on to eg Optus for eg $30k per season? Invest the rest in Slovenian Australian Rules Football?
