Footy World Cup - NZ V Peru

[Bovidae]

I'm going down to the game again. We might even be sitting in a similar position to where we were in 2010.

[Damo]

This is the most excited I've been about a game of soccer since 2010.

Bring it on.

[Damo]

Wood is not starting. He's on the bench. That's not great.

[Damo]

No one else watching?

Seems our go to strategy is to hoof the ball downfield and hope.

[canefan]

Holy shit. Heart in mouth as we almost concede a horror goal

Route 1 all the way Jose

[No Quarter]

The beauty of Soccer is anything can happen on the day. We'll need to ride our luck a fair bit and hope for something tinny at their end of the field.

Mildly annoyed that this overlaps with the Kiwis vs Tonga - comon NZ sort out your sports scheduling.

[No Quarter]

Good passage of play from the All Whites, Peru showing some frustration early.

[Virgil]

Meanwhile 30,000 plus spectators are sitting there thinking ‘oh this is what we never go to football games..’

[No Quarter]

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]

What's wrong with Wood?

[No Quarter]

@canefan tight hamstring.

[canefan]

Fanks. Hopefully we get at least a draw so we can save Wood for the winner take all final leg

[canefan]

Kiwi goalie keeps our clean sheet with a cracking save

[canefan]

Huge chance for us now

[No Quarter]

Fuck I'm sick of the hollywood bullshit in Soccer.

[No Quarter]

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.

[No Quarter]

FUUUUUUCCKK!!!

[Higgins]

Ooooohhhhhhh, man that was close

[Higgins]

Is there any problems with altitude in Lima as there is in some of those countries round that area.
