Maradona appeared on the Argentine Channel 7 program, "6 7 8″.

Maradona talked about the attacks on him by the Argentine media after his controversial press conference, about Bilardo, Veron, the difficulties of being a national team manager, how he chooses players, and the rumors that Bilardo made the substitutions against Uruguay.

The premise of Channel 7's new sci-fi series might not lie in the realms of fantasy after all. Last night, watching the Australia v. Netherlands game, I had a vivid premonition of how Pim Verbeek's side will approach games against superior (or even peer) opposition in South Africa next year.
Plenty of shuffling the ball across the back four. Click to continue reading...

Anyone seen the Kaka ad recently, you know the one selling Sony TV's, with Kaka, the celebrity, and the skill set.
Well Channel 7 have gone one better.

Where's Arnie? Our Olyroos supremo? Anyone heard him speak? He did an interview with Channel 7, like they'd know what to ask but nothing with our football media not even with his "very silent" media mates who have strong links to the man. Robbie Slater and the amazingly supportive SMH journo Mike Cockerill. Click to continue reading...

Argentina defeated Australia 1-0 in Shanghai but Perth Glory's Nikita Rukavystya could have stole the show....if he'd have finished one of his three chances.
Argentina ran the show, but Aussie Coach Graham Arnold had his defence working overtime to halt the threat of the Olympic Champions. Click to continue reading...

I got to see the 2nd half live on channel 7. Argentina were clearly on another planet to the Olyroos. And yet they couldn't score and were becoming increasingly penulant, firing off at everything. Thompson off Rukavytsya on. 15 seconds later he is away, running into the box from the left and firing a bullet - into the side netting. Click to continue reading...

At this, largely under 23, level Argentina are probably the world's best. So the Olyroos v Argentina would attract capacity crowds at a ground in Australia.
But on Channel 7 they won't tell when their delayed telecast starts. So there will be no pub loads of fans watching that then. And all the kids whose parents can't afford Foxtel don't even get fair warning and promotion on the free stuff. Click to continue reading...

Some Good News Whilst maintaining the rage against Channel 7, there are some good news stories this week. The FFA announced a news sponsor for the Matilda's and a new Womens National League. Westfield will sponsor the new W-League set to kick off in October, whilst our National Womens team will be known as the Westfield Matilda's. Click to continue reading...

All we ask, is for a FAIR GO As we all know, Channel 7 is the Australian broadcaster for the Olympics, as they have been for the past 3 or 4. For us football fans the bells have started to ring again. I assume most of us remember the NSL. So then most of us remember when [...] Click to continue reading...

Football. Gordon Bray is a Rugby Union game caller. And a good one at that. But could you imagine anything more unprofessional than getting Les Murray, Craig Foster or Simon Hill to call the Wallabies/All Blacks game.
Channel 7, it's a farce. You know it, we all know it.
Still I remember listening. Click to continue reading...

The Green and Gold Army have 11,000 members. I'm a member:) Their full voice is gathering to give it to Channel Seven. See the release below. Channel 7, it has to be said are hell bent on destroying Australian football fans and Olyroos supporters' vision of the Olyroos games.
