Will this be on channel 38 as per the last round matches?

Thanks

[KhunKone]

Btw does anyone knows why there are no more games on TV5 or 7, but now only on TV8 ?
Seems that since the group turn ends i could only find them on TV8 (and I have a really shitty reception of it so...) :/

[NiwPix]

Can't wait

I don't think the German defense will be high up in the pitch as when they played Algeria...so Manuel Neuer will probably not be needed as a sweeper

Can I watch the game in internet start at 11'00 p.m. ?.... Don't have any TV.

Channel 8 is the broadcast channel that the last 16 (previous round) matches were shown on. Apparently it was not exactly free to air as it was a digital signal so no ordinary joes with their cheap analogue sets could watch for free. The Government thru the broadcasting commission has said it will take RS (the franchise holder for World Cup rights in Thailand to court.

We can therefore expect (and I think I have heard it confirmed) that the rest of the matches form tonight forward will be genuinely free to air. That means either 3, 7, 9 or 11 I think (though when I said I think I heard it confirmed I'm sure the announcement said channel 19 or some such unrecognisable channel (the veracity of which I doubt).

Bit of a channel hop to find it at about 22:50 for me!

Unlikely to have an English language option on the genuinely free to airs I fear It's aaw-haaaw or mute!

Sky reported this morning that 7 of the German squad have gone down with flu which could have a big bearing on the outcome. ....

...have now quickly looked that up on the internet - Germany manager is saying its been very exaggerated per BBC. No time to read the details on BBC web-site must dash

Jai Lai .. channel 38 is Thai TV Channel 8. It's just that True and CTH (and maybe other providers) put Thai TV channel 8 on their own 'channel' 38.

Mute for me!

I hope Germany wins. I can't be bothered to watch (all my favourite programmes are off). But if France wins I will be earbashed for days.

[KhunKone]

OK Santisuk! I've been looking the group round games either on TV5 or TV7 depending on which game but sadly no 1/8 round games on it...
Will check tonight, or might have a move to a Pub on Suk...

France does have the option to surrender just before the game starts.

It was advertised that the games will be on channel 8. I use a psi statelite and change the sound channel on the psi box to the right channel for English commentarry.

Have a good time watiching this game.

Just as well they have no one in the back four called Maginot.

[Prbkk]

0-1 half time but France will still win this, 3-1 or 3-2

[Gillyflower]

At the 64th minute, it is still 0-1. France won't win.

[KhunKone]

What a disapointing defeat honestly...

Germany who seemed impressive on the group round, has been so cheap playing on these 2 last games...

should improve seriously to pass those semis...

[Travel2003]

Surprisingly poor match, and shockingly poor France.

[salty]

Germany always seem to get the job done in these poor games.

What a poor comment, have you ever studied history ?

[Gillyflower]

What history was I supposed to have studied?
