ALL WHITES V BAHRAIN - Official 2nd Leg T
Highlights for me was chanting to some bahrainis on their bus outside holiday inn, but then the All Whites bus drove past!!!! Chased it from one end of Featherston to the other stopping at the red lights to give the boys a wave through the door, Ricki was cracking up never seen that guy smile so much!! Collapsed at the other end of the street though haha. Was well worth it
All Whites we love you.
You in that fountain was good value. Added to the fact I thought I was dreaming though.
What a f**king night!
i couldn't hear any.

uiron2009-11-15 12:18:56Lol I just realised we're going to have to have a WORLD CUP forum on this site now.
The best thing about that game was that it wasn't just taken - we looked a superior team apart from the first the minutes and a part at the start of the second half. I hope the team can get together for some friendlies before the WC - we've got $10 mil so I'm sure some could be spared for some good practice!Screamed my head off last night in Auckland. Fabulous result. Bl**dy marvellous. Well done, guys! Everyone involved. And yes, the crowd was also sensational.
Radio Sport giving it plenty of air time today, as they should with Deaker in full flow. Looks like most of the afternoon will be the last night's game, and where we're heading. Great stuff.
Slight digression: Anyone remember what changes are planned for the A-League season next year with the World Cup running over June/July?

Here's an interesting stat not sure if anyone has already mentioned
Oceania champion New Zealand now progresses to South Africa as possibly the first team in Cup history to reach the finals without beating a country with a population of more than 1 million.
It's largest opponent in the Oceania confederation was Fiji (850,000) and it moved on to a two-leg clash with Bahrain (750,000), which finished fifth in Asian regional qualifying.

cheers.
What more can i say? Best night of my life. Still recovering. Still hasn't sunk in. We're going to a World Cup!!!!
I think we thoroughly derserved the win, but had we been unlucky we could have lost it too. so credit to them for trying their best, and they had a decent crowd too.
But it was NZ night, it had to be. Great game by Nelsen, Siggy, Smelty, Fallon, Killen, Brownie...and super-man Paston and super greek boy Leo Leo Super fcken Leo!!!
Absolutely Positively Awesome. Best Game I have been to. Slowly getting my voice back. Well done Guys. All players said in post-match interviews tHat they couldn't Have done it without US !!!!!!
This is a victory for NZ, etched in part by the a-league. I'm off to SA and will defo take in your games.
When the dust settles and life returns to some semblance of normalcy, it will be you guys at yellow fever, the true believers, that will savour it the most. You're all as mad as cut snakes to be taking your shirts off in that crazy weather but gee you give it some during every game. On behalf of all football lovers in this part of the world, thanks for keeping the flame burning after that abortion called the NZ Knights.
The way the nix are playing, I have a felling you'll have plenty more celebrations ahead of you for the year.
