  考后看世界杯疯狂不间断87小时创纪录

  Two Australian sisters have set an unofficial world record for continuous TV-watching after sitting through 87 hours of uninterrupted World Cup and football coverage.

  Football-mad Joanne and Alanah Argyrou, 22 and 24, outlasted two other contenders as they sat for some three-and-a-half days at Sydneys Star City Casino, beating Dutchman Efraim van Oeverens 86 hours.

  The feat -- which awaits confirmation by Guinness World Records -- was monitored by a team of officials who ensure the sisters did not look away from the screen for more than five seconds.

  They were given one five-minute break per hour but were allowed no more than five cups of coffee a day. In between World Cup broadcasts, the women watched recorded matches and football documentaries.

  Australias hopes of reaching the knocking-out stages were badly dented after June 14s 4-0 defeat by Germany. The country is bidding to host the tournaments 2022 edition
