Woohoo! Go All Whites!

Less theatrics yes, but still a lot of acting.

Thank god for Paston!

And yeah Nelsen will be a huge loss should we make it through

This is pretty neat... http://www.3news.co.nz/All-Whites-vs...ticleID=162576

Our fate is now in the hands of the gods then eh. But well done to the boys, undefeated in their group against the likes of Italy and Paraguay.

[Gremlin]

awww... their run has come to an end... but damn, what a good show boys!

Holy shit Slovakia just beat Italy

The Italian coach frickin stormed off, and several Italian players were crying. First time not in the knockouts since 1974.

Yup we beat them in the group too. New Zealand 3rd, Italy 4th!

It is a damn shame that NZ didn't get through, but I am absolutely stunned by their performance so far. Points wise they finished ahead of Italy, which I think very much counts for something.

What they've done for NZ soccer is monumental. I feel sure that in all future international NZ soccer expeditions, they'll have their names mentioned. Legends.

I feel we need a public holiday today as a national day of mourning.

The boys have done us proud, a fantastic effort......undefeated in their group awesome.
Perhaps Italy need to concentrate on training ball skills and passion instead of cheating, and France what a bunch of overpaid whingers.
Fly the All Whites back 1st class NZ.

Thank God that's over. I watched the game, and that's probably the last soccer game I'll watch. A hell of an achievement though, especially as the paraguayans looked like much better players, but 93 minutes to get a nil-all draw? Kind of like watching 93 minutes of maiden overs in cricket.

Only the second team ever to be undefeated and yet not make it through.

[oldrider]

Well, they proved they are really great defenders, all they have to do now is learn to attack and "WIN"!

Before you build a house you have to build sound foundations!

They have built the foundations, maybe they will finish the house at their next appearance at the world cup!

Third time lucky? Well, good luck to them anyway, they are definitely making progress on the world stage.

Like they say in the cheese advertisements, good things take time!

I didn't watch it, and I didn't have any paint to watch drying so I went to sleep instead. much better outcome.
