Yes ladies! What a win.

And people want to tear down Eden Park? Lol gtfo.

[sparky]

Never in doubt.

[Kirwan]

That was a good game to watch, we looked the better team. Pressure?

[Bovidae]

Well deserved. The midfield were superb.

[Stargazer]

Awesome start of the WC for the Football Ferns! Proud of the girls!

[Mattasaurus]

Boom - that will get a few more bums on seats in the NZ games.
Well done Football Ferns!

NZ games are pretty well sold out it's outer Mongolia vs Inner Venice that's the problem!

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!

Do an awful lot more for ticket sales than a few FIFA officials saying please buy tickets.

Well done ladies - deserved that.

Apparently it's the rules. The comms said so

[Machpants]

So we have US imports then? She reminds me of the over-enthusiastic yank on the PTA with me!

@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.

Football, Sport

Sixty seconds with: Ali Riley - Football News - NZ Herald

My new idea, because I'm really into cooking and I'm a health coach, is to have a show where I can make really good food and have other athletes on it.

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.

I like their strip, nice ferns, not some French snail trail scribbles!
