Interesting thing for me is that our strength is now through the middle - through Stamenic, Just, Singh - and not out wide. The normal All Whites way of playing is crosses from wide and hope for the big guy to head it in - we didn't see much of that today.

This is possibly the first game NZ has ever played on a world stage where people praised our football and not just our grit.

I'm not a big McCowatt fan, but I thought he did quite decent today in a tough role.
