Joanne and Alanah Argyrou, 22 and 24, set a new world record on  Thursday after watching non stop 87 hours of uninterrupted television.
The women from Sydney's inner west called it quits about 6:00am AEST  after beating the previous record of 86 hours held by Dutchman Efraim  van Oeveren.
The feat still needs to be verified by officials from Guinness World  Records, but organisers are confident the record will be recognised.
The sisters, self-professed soccer fanatics, outlasted two other  couch potatoes: Tim Chan and Joel Martinot.
In between live World Cup matches, most of which are broadcast in the  early hours of the morning, the competitors had a choice of watching  recorded matches or soccer documentaries.
They were monitored by a team of officials who ensured the girls did  not take their eyes off the screen for more than five seconds.
They were allocated one five-minute break every hour and were allowed  no more than five cups of coffee per day.
The Argyrou sisters are now at home having a well-deserved rest.
