Footy World Cup - NZ V Peru
-
0-0 at the half is a great result so far, the deeper we take it the more frustrated Peru will get.
Wood is a big loss, he is exactly the guy we need to pull something off - he'll probably get a run late in the game if it's still in the balance.
-
@canefan tight hamstring.
-
Fuck I'm sick of the hollywood bullshit in Soccer.
-
We were odds on to score then after the keeper parried the shot, but a butterfly hit one of the Peru players knocking him down.
-
FUUUUUUCCKK!!!
-
0-0, we'll take that! No away goal for Peru so we're right in this.
-
@no-quarter Agree, well done lads!
-
0-0??
Sounds riveting..... don't think i will bother watching the replay currently on.
-
The Soccer Blacks didn't lose, unlike the League Blacks tonight which is what I won't be watching a replay of.

I won't watch the league either......

@Baron-Silas-Greenback not the kind of game you'd watch knowing the result. The tension is more "can we ride our luck and pull off a bullshit goal at the end to snatch it against a team ranked 100 places above us". In that sense, it was bloody tense and we came within a couple of inches of doing just that.

That was a cracking game. I enjoyed it and swore like a sailor when Thomas(?) put that half volley wide.
When Wood came on you could immediatly see his class. Time on the ball that others don't have.
Was listening to Trackside this mornign and apparently they knew earlier in week that Wood probably only has 120mins in him so he was never going to start that game but wanted to give him a few minutes and tehn start him in Lima.
Reid and our Goalie were huge.

Pundits and ex-players in Peru don't rate us, with one great labelling us as a "Team of the 80s ". They should beat us but it doesn't hurt that they are heaping more pressure on themselves. We need to keep things tight for as long as possible, trying to turn the game into a war of attrition because the longer the hosts go without getting ahead the more nervous they'll feel
