Australia's date with destiny against Uruguay is coming up in November and Australian football fans can see the first and second legs of the World Cup qualifying play-off LIVE on SBS Television.
After much speculation, Head of SBS Television, Shaun Brown, has announced the network had successfully secured the LIVE & Exclusive broadcast rights to the 1st leg of the FIFA World Cup Qualifying Play-off between Australia and Uruguay next month in Montevideo.
It is very exciting that we were able to negotiate the broadcast rights for both of these crucial matches and provide free-to-air access to all Australians to witness the Socceroos quest for a position in Germany 2006, said Mr Brown.
The first leg on Sunday 13 November from 9:30am AEDT (LIVE to all centres & replayed @ 5:00pm) will be hosted by Les Murray and commentated by Simon Hill, from Montevideo, with Andrew Orsatti as Sydney Studio Host joined by expert analysts Craig Foster and Ned Zelic, also a former Socceroo and perhaps Australias greatest football export.
Its de javu as Australia once again faces its nemesis, Uruguay, with memories of their defeat in 2002 still clear in the minds of football fans throughout the country.
However, this time the crucial 2nd leg is on home soil and the rejuvenated Socceroos, under the new leadership of coach, Guus Hiddink, are keen to end Australias 32-year drought since last appearing in the World Cup Finals.
The second, crucial decider to see who will make a finals appearance at next years FIFA World Cup in Germany, will be played at Telstra Stadium on Wednesday 16 November, LIVE on SBS from 7:00pm (AEDT).
Again, hosted by Les Murray, with commentary from Simon Hill and expert analysts Craig Foster and Ned Zelic, Andrew Orsatti and Mike Tomalaris will provide side-line reports, with live crosses to SBSs Christian Jantzen in Melbournes Federation Square and South American expert, Tim Vickery, in Montevideo.
