Rare MicCanberra Posted June 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Which ship can I watch the World Cup on? In addition, who is paying for it? How do I get onto it if it is already at sea? and more importantly how will Australia fare? this will be a thread about the world cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted June 16, 2018 Author #2 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Not a great result but our boys played reasonably solid, I don't know how we can score but defensively it wasn't too bad. 2-1 loss is not the drubbing many were predicting. Denmark beat Peru 1-0 in the other group game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I get onto it if it is already at sea? and more importantly how will Australia fare? this will be a thread about the world cup I think most ships will have some coverage. Passengers will pay for it. If it’s at sea you’ll need to swim or get an air lift. Australia won’t make the next round. If I wanted to watch someone go 90 minutes without scoring I’d go out with me mate, he’s gone about 60 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted June 17, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Which Passengers will be paying my fare? I still think our boys have the capacity to go through to the next round but they need to play better or at least to play to the same capacity but with some better luck.

Yeah like most things in life, no matter how good you are, how hard you work you still need the luck to go your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he hasn't given up! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think they played badly - their acting skills just weren't up to standard! I think the refs have set a dangerous standard with that video call though! That guy took a dive and should've got a yellow. I see Darryl Braithwaite has gone over with the Fanatics and won't be singing on the cruise ships for a while.

But yes I've seen my share of people who have worked hard for success only to have bad luck intervene! I for example feel extremely lucky to have cruised even once in my life. Now I have to work hard, prioritise and pray for good health so I can go more often. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted June 21, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Make or break for the boys tonight. I am confident that if they play their best, they can win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted June 26, 2018 Author #13 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Well, not looking great at half time, Australia losing 0-1. They now need to score three goals to get the goal difference up, although unless France beat Denmark it is useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted June 26, 2018 Author #14 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Well the Aussies will be coming home, they lost 0-2 and as it turns out even if they had won, they still would have been coming home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter69 Posted June 27, 2018 #15 Share Posted June 27, 2018 We had all matches live on The Carnival Spirit. Either in Sports Bar or Casino Bar. They even had the Australian matches on the in-cabin TV's.. Best match was Iceland v's Argentina 1-1 Draw. 12 of us at 2;00 in morning, Aussies, Pommies, Japanese. A German & a Peruivian going bonkers. The other good match was Brazil v's Costa Rica leaving it to extra time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted June 28, 2018 Author #22 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Last three champs out in prelim rounds I think it is tough to keep a winning WC team for more than 4 years, as the team that qualifies for the first world cup is often quite different to the team playing in the subsequent WC.

Rare MicCanberra Posted June 29, 2018 Author #25 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Yep I also think the pressure is on and they become a bit of a target for other teams “If we can beat the champs .....” The football life as an international is usually (for most players) only around 4 or 5 years. That means if they are in the team for qualifying for one world cup (2-3 years prior), they are likely not going to be there for the subsequent one (6-8 years after joining the team). A change in personnel like that makes it hard to maintain the skill levels, depth and team structure for more than one WC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
