All Whites, Ferns, and other international teams
The offside, is it not if a player plays the the ball it puts them on side. The keeper played the ball although he did not hold it - it was played and not a rebound, putting all whites on side.
If he was in an offside position when the original shot was made, he then gained an advantage from being in that position when the keeper spilled it to him, so he's offside.
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Thoughts if Nelsen retires?
Could be interesting
Hey guys, it was great to meet you all last night! Had a great time at the match. Can't say I'm having a good time right now though as my home country is being slaughtered at the hands of Honduras... looks like I'll be supporting NZ exclusively for this world cup.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, but we've only scored 5 in the previous 5 matches, 4 of which were against cellar-dwelling cuba.
Well, Germany was 4-0 up today against Sweden with half an hour to go, the game just finished 4-4. So it's doable...
true .I cant believe germany would give away such a lead !!!
I LOVE LAMP
So if Siggy is suspended for the game against New Caledonia does that mean he might actually be able to play in the Nix game instead?
I think Tahiti needs to be punished after last night. An absolute disgrace. Especially at the end. Kinda liked them after their amazing triumph aswell

i have a funny feeling we will get honduras for the playoff
sure Durante aussie, but if he's eligible I think he is a worthy replacement for Vicelich at DM
ugh, just ugh

what a turd of a game. meh.
Killen at least 2 yards offside. Zone was right in line with it.
Just realised that we have mid-week home games for both of the first 2 international breaks and no weekend games - and the last phase will probably be a dead rubber anyway. How has that happenend, and how did NZF allow that to happen?
Durante would be a good addition to the AWs frame, especially when Nelsen retires - which wont be too far away. Reid/Smith/Sigmund/Durante. All better options than Lochead or Bertos

Christchurch.
Good pre-match crowd in the pub. Pity (most of) the staff there were so miserable. Good to meet some of the locals and our Canadian supporter too.
Great match crowd numbers I thought. Bit of angst in the Zone at the start. One guy rocks in and says "You guys need to move these are my seats and there's 21 of us". There were actually only 3 and they moved at half time. Chanting was an epic fail. Turns out the Cantabs like to clap. Amusingly they also didn't really get the shirts off thing either.
Game was scary, in the "oh god we really need to score another" kinda way.
After match, the only place open was the casino. Didn't put any money anywhere the gambling part but drank a wee bit.
Recommendation - Don't book an 8.10am flight home the morning after a game.
End of an era. Vinnie - It's over.

Hmm a bit condescening, alot of cantabs in the zone are veterans of SA, Bahrain game, Jaimaica in aucks, and loads of nix and All Whites games in wellington and as such are not virgins to enjoying football, I think the general feeling was that the performance was just so poor the atmosphere died out a bit and didnt really warrant shirts off. I would still say that the atmosphere was as good as anything I’ve seen for the All Whites since Bahrain and after match celebrations in SA.
P.S. No idea why ticketek dont make it more clear that the WNZ is stading and shouting only, always dramas with people trying to stay seated etc. General admision would be the solution surely.
I'd love to give you my feedback on the game but I can't really remember much of the second half.
Speights Ale House was fantastic I thought, jam-packed inside, nice outside. Just like a pre-match should be.
Perhaps I was too focused on that side of things when I should've thought about the game. Meh.
Top Tuesday out I reckon.
I let my guitar speak for me

GA gets messy too...best solution - ticketek make it clear as F**k that that the white noise/YF zone is STANDING ONLY. it is LOUD. and they tell the rentacops who 'run' the stadium this.
Maybe dont call it white noise/YF and just call it "STANDING"
I suspect that officially none of it is meant to be standing is the problem.
