Here you are answered my own question. England next plays at 4.00 am Oz on 19 June and then again at 11.30 pm Oz time on 23 Jun.

Knew I'd have some use for the soccer.

This is interesting. When you click o n the word register on the advertisement for the free records use during the World Cup, it takes you to the screen to join FMP. If you are a member of FMP are not you entitled to use the census and other records as part of your membership. Why do you have to register first. I am a member of FMP but only use their credit option. I have sent them an email asking how to go about accessing the option. Does the Register on the ad refer to the world cup games or is that just so others who are not members can become members and if so why.

From Finding My Past. Click on the advert on the opening page before you log in. Might as well make use of the World Cup. By the way exactly WHEN do England play. I gather I have missed the first round!!

Findmypast is free during every England World Cup match
If you're not football mad, there is something else to do during the World Cup – make it your goal to research your family history.

we had 3 flags up and all been ripped down ...:(((

Your football is our soccer. Soccer is a game brought over here by our migrant population. Get efforts have been undertaken to integrate soccer into our sporting agenda. To a certain extent this has worked and soccer is now gaining more acceptance as a nationwide sport.

However it does not have the popularity of either Australian Rules, or Rugby League/Union. It is very popular with those who came from countries which support the code. Don't get the idea that Australia is a nation of soccer maniacs all glued to their TV sets at 4.00 am and 3 degrees. This is media hype.

Yes there are a considerable number of our population who call soccer "football" and who will be following the matches. There are also a few more who will take a sneaky look just to see what all the fuss is about, and will quickly turn off and go back to bed after enduring five minutes of that dreadful droning noise. The rest of us will stay tucked up in our warm beds until the sun rises in the morning and we hear the result on the radio. Ho hum!!

i have to agree with you merlin to a point



and whooppie i never seen a single minute of the match
i was far to busy having fun elsewhere

Yes I,m getting there Joy, Slowly. but there are a lot of vindictive so and so,s on here who are really nasty whilst pretending to be all sweetness and light..any way I wonder where that flag pole would end up? perhaps the ( Overflow).pmsl.**M**.

I hope so and No thanks to Flag of St. Goerge the pole might get stuck somewhere.PMSL.

O.H. now i am off

SHE JUST MIGHT MERLIN
nice to see you posting hun

Joy, if she goes to B&Q. She,ll probably be able to get one with the Flag of St. George painted on it. pmsl.**M**.

good luck lizz hope you find a nice one
