Boom - that will get a few more bums on seats in the NZ games.
Well done Football Ferns!Do an awful lot more for ticket sales than a few FIFA officials saying please buy tickets.
Well done ladies - deserved that.

Really enjoyed that - enjoyable game with NZ doing really well.
I do have one whinge though. Whats with the referee doing the NFL style public address announcements on the VAR ruling?
Just do the square, point at the spot and blow the whistle!
Apparently it's the rules. The comms said so

Is that the one that the coach only found out about through social media?

Yeah that's the one. Think she was eligible for Australia as well

I like their strip, nice ferns, not some French snail trail scribbles!
I don't mind the teal one either

@MajorPom
New innovation by FIFA and a bizarre one.
Alex Scott on the BBC ‘What is this, the hunger games?’
BBC panel really impressed by the Soccer Ferns.
7 billion ppl on the planet, of which roughly 5bln know the rules. No need for this!
Yeah, BBC were really glowing. Although what Gabby "I host and know everything about every sport now" Logan knows about football could be written on a postage stamp.
Alex Scott as always worth a listen.

Ada Hegerberg was the poster girl a few years ago for Women’s’ Football globally and won the 2018 Ballon D’or Féminin. She has scored 40+goals for Norway. Rarely given a chance this evening.
Yeah, I mentioned the midfield but Bowen was great too in keeping Hegerberg quiet.

So we have US imports then? She reminds me of the over-enthusiastic yank on the PTA with me!
Don’t be so cynical. She showed heaps of emotion, clearly meant the world to her ! Terrific result.
Apparently this is the only WC game NZ has ever won?

Yup. I think we came close before, got robbed by a controversial hand ball. We were on a big losing streak coming into the tourney, so I don't think many picked us to win. We will be favourites against a Filipino team with nothing to lose, we will need to break them down

Yeah I am just a little bit scarred by over-enthusiastic yank in the committee - even looks like her! Very happy with the game, just getting flash backs
