New Zealand Appreciation Thread

raise hand if you thought NZ will be push-overs and leave the tournament with 0 points and some ****ed up goal difference.


actually, had Wood stretched a little bit more, they would have won today and qualified.


New Zealand's point tally = Italy + France.

impressive stuff for a country often mocked for their soccer.

i don't appreciate them. i appreciate their 8 men defense and luck (italy game) though.

I appreciate New Zealand and I'm an alcoholic.

Credit to New Zealand. You can't expect them to attack teams, you play to your strengths, they worked hard, rode their luck abit, but still played with heart and passion.

Well done to all of them

Go Kiwis!

[The-Iron-Ghost]

Go the Kiwi's, after watching them play Australia i thought they would be able to get 1 point, but what the did at this world cup is brilliant.

A team to be ranked where they are, to have the lack of talent that they do, pulled off a marvelous fete.

Whats the point of Italy having so many chances and no converting them?

Great Effort By New Zealand

New Zealand will always have a special place in the heart of true Iranians, for dumping out the fake state 'Bahrain' (Mishmahig) from the WC.

Don't you support Italy?

u guys and ur stupid comments...when was the last time italy played defensive?? every game they attack and get scored on counter attacks

[HuSsAiN]

Thats because in each of the games they have played this year, they've been trailing, so it would make absolute sense for Italy to attack to get equaliser? Still, they are a defensive team IMHO.
