Where was that match played?
I watched some of the Australia vs. Paraguay match on TV last night. In every international soccer match I can remember watching (including the World Cup) the name of the host city is displayed in large letters in the centre of the ground-level advertising opposite the main TV camera. That way you can quickly tell where the match was played: a useful convention.
But not in Brisbane. The words on the gap in the advertising were too small be read in the usual TV long shot. Only when the players were in front of it, a close-up enabled the text to be read: Get Active in Queensland.
What the?
