10 mins into the game and they don't look out-classed yet......

I'd be more interested if Salma Hayek was playing ......

0-0 half time

so far so good

not many attacking moves tho, and a bit lucky not to be 1-nil down after a cracker volley rattled the bar

**blackdog** · 4th March 2010, 17:25

1-nil undone by a ripper

**blackdog** · 4th March 2010, 17:33

I thought before the game that I would accept 0-3. The 0-2 final score is very respectable in the circumstances.

2-0 ok result and we should take heart out of that result. great to see more good games coming up but why did it take for us to qualify for W.C to get these games. The only way we can improve is to have regular international games against top notch nations (and yes you do have to include Australia) all year round, so just hope this is signs of things to come and not just for the next couple of months and then we go back into hibernation.
Hope now the wgtn crowd of 34,000 can get the phoenix boys home into the next round of the playoffs as this will just raise the profile of football even further
