Optus kicked a massive own goal on this.
Over 3million aussies tuned in for our france game. Bigger than the afl gf. Great result. Check out @LaurenceRosen’s Tweet: https://twitter.com/LaurenceRosen/statu ... 06401?s=09
And those figures for a non aussie game. Really wish the a league could tap into this potential

I think the aleague might suffer because of this.

Optus has been investing in football, epl and wc. Im willing to bet they had the aleague in their sights probably partnering with a free to air provider.

Competition will push the price up, not sure if optus will recover trust from football fans.

Optus are now making their coverage free, all games on SBS.

WHY CAN'T IT JUST BE DONE AS IT WAS PLANNED?

I just do not understand. i paid my money, which I don't give two shits about, this has nothing to do with money, PEOPLE SHOULD DO WHAT THEY SAID. Now everything has changed, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT NEEDED TO CHANGE.

Tried to watch the Portugal Morocco match but I am too furious to even comprehend what is happening.

Thanks for ruining the world cup for me.

But this is good news...
Optus has announced the remainder of the World Cup group stage will be broadcast live on SBS and that it will make its streaming platform available for free, despite saying it is confident of being able to broadcast matches.

SBS will show all matches until the end of the group stage. Football fans will also be able to sign up to Optus Sport for free until 31 August. Anyone who has already paid will have the $15 subscription fee refunded.

Your getting your money back plus you can now choose which platform to watch from.

Consumer wins! Not a big deal is it?

I DON'T WANT MY MONEY BACK. They better not give it back to me, this is just getting worse.

Who do I contact to stop this happening?

I now have a choice between watching the world cup on either optus sport or the SBS and I DON'T WANT TO DO EITHER.

Not sure I will even watch the Socceroos tomorrow night.

Just when you think it will be a quiet offseason..

Hoping the saudis can grind out a result, they are a shadow of what they were in qualification.
