From New Zealand, one moment of cheering, is that too much too ask???

I will cheer very loudly if Grella gets sent off or scores an own goal.

Three for me, and two for them.

My hopes are high, I want to be screaming after 90 minutes when we get a point... or three.

Less than four points would be a failure, in my opinion.















I'm as serious about that as I am about David Dodd.

^I hope you're joking

If we score i'll be ecstatic. If we get a point i'll be close to a heart attack. A win might push me over the edge.

If we draw every game 0-0 and sneak through it will be more than worthwhile.

That's never going to happen. Three points just does not cut it at the pool group stage. Scoreless draws are boring . . . . (just like Arsenal )

Some guy from France says that we won't score any goals.

I can't get to the link but it's on the TVNZ website.

He says something like:

- if NZ scores a goal the country will be satisfied
- if NZ gets a point the team will be hailed as heroes
- if NZ advances to the next round, a statue will be erected in Wellington

I think at least the last part is true

Ive always been of the mindset of scoring a goal, at this thing would be great, getting a draw would be brillant, and a win would be the greatest sportign acheivement this country has seen.
 
I will be happy though just as long as we dont get thrased.
 
For the glass totally full and overflowing, people, Im guessing  a draw between  Paraguay
 and Slovakia will help our cause.

I imagine a lot of our statues will be erected if the All Whites do something sensational.
You know we belong together...

There's a betting option at the TAB for most points out of the All Whites and the convicts. Couldn't resist a lazy fiver on us at $9
