All Whites vs Peru | Second leg | Thurs 16 Nov | 3:15pm | SS1

Peru apparently will be very offensive 

Ruidiaz will start with Farfan up front

Advincula will start at right back

4-1-3-2

First post to introduce myself.

I am Alex, born in Peru, lived 9 years in Melbourne, now back in Lima.

Have visited New Zealand twice, thoroughly enjoyed time there, impressed with the landscape and the good nature of people.

I am a big football fan and get to play twice a week with other parents at my kids school.

I have been reading the posts here the last few days and am keen to contribute, I believe you already have another Peruvian onboard the forum.

If that doesn't ruffle anyone's feathers I will add my two cents worth of commentary.

Less than 48 hours to the game I am as excited about it as you all are.

Welcome buddy!

make outrageous predictions

defend them to the death

know more than your national team coach about football

and you'll fit right in :) ;)

looking forward to hearing your perspective

That's how I survive week in week out...

Take your pick mate:

I usually open them one by one when I want to watch Roma replays and then choose the one based on video quality/preferred language (sometimes you get French or Russian or Arabic etc). Last time it took a day or so before they uploaded NZ v Peru...but sometimes they are very quick. Good luck!

Ok thanks for the welcome, now time for some commentary.

With 6 of the last 7 games in this playoff season it could happen that the game tomorrows ends 0-0 again in which case a penalty shootout will follow.

I am under the impression those taking penalties for Perú would be:

Farfán, 

Rui Diaz (likely to come in a sub during the game)

Advincula

Carrillo

Cueva

I guess Chris Wood and Reid would be on the AW list.

Coaches must be giving the list a think in case it is needed.

no Trauco?

I have honestly never seen Carrillo take a pk 

... and you could end up being appointed the next tecnico of the Italian national team - 

- we'd vote for you, in any case

To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if you would do better than S-Ventura (Italian pun turning his surname into 'misadventure').

WTF, Is this true? Why not? So if you're in Australia, no way to watch it? Fudge.

Wood, Thomas, ah ...

nah, we'll go for 1-1 thanks.

subbing on Brockie and Smeltz late doesn't make me feel any more comfortable with that pks idea

but if we even get that far I'll have had a fantastic Thursday

surely Peru aren't thinking like that, that's quite a compliment to our 1980's team

See? I told you that Martin's "hostile" would provoke retaliation.

well the witchdoctor has made an appearance...meaning nz is being taken very seriously. Witchdoctors only shows up against rivals that can bring Peru problems ;)

in other news...the Danes showing everyone how to play away from home

Oh sh*t, a witch doctor, sh*t be getting real now!

A witchdoctor put the whammy on Australia for 30 years. Not to worry, Rory can counter any spiritual warfare with the power of prayer.

So neither Ireland goes to the WC. :(

You are right about Carrillo, an alternative could be Renato Tapia who scored in the shootout against Colombia in last year's Copa America.  Both Cueva and Trauco missed their shots.

Imagine if it's equal in penalties and then brockie steps up...

A spot of dancing outside the Peruvian embassy anyone. I have a photocopier, a pack of rothmans and a drum machine - just need a snake, haven't got a snake.

think it will be

               maro

           boxall   reid   smith

colvey                                 wynne

             lewis    thomas

                   weemac

            rojas       wood

Defenders will need to have the games of there lives

I would prefer bill to come in for weemac and boxall to play rb and themi to play cb however.

Feel like subs will play a big part in this game, which might not be good for us, as we dont reall have depth in numbers.

Kosta, bill, themi are the only quality i think we have on the bench tbh

Turns out it's just across the road from work.

perhaps a sign in your window to let them know they will be coming into work on Friday because their national holiday got cancelled

if you meant there is my snake opposite your work - better call MPI pronto

Try Peggy Gordons first and then Crowded House. Both are probably not likely to be busy at that time of day......unless there's loads of likeminded football fans in there

Any one watching the game in Petone?

I don't think they'll play McGlinchey behind the strikers, more likely in a DM role like the last match. If they play an AM surely it'd be Rojos with either Wood up front alone or with Kosta. 
I don't think there will be any changes to the last line up unless forced by injury (or return from injury in Wood's case). 

What is the best site for a good in depth match preview/analysis that doesn't have typical NZ or Peru spin?

HOLY F*CK am i excited for tomorrow

blimmin pumped

Do we know who the commentators are on Sky for this game? I'm guessing they will be commentating the usual Sky away approach (sitting in front of a TV in NZ and not actually at the game)?

Have managed to get out of work early on Thurs, which will let me get to 4Kings to watch.

Train strike has thrown a spanner in the works. Is anyone who is planning to watch game in Wellington, able/willing to offer me a lift home post-match to Paremata/Plimmerton area?

Even if I find a lift in to work, I'm doubtful I'll be able to convince them to wait until the end of the football in the evening :)

Piney is over there.

NZF's highlights of the first leg up here...

Highlights. No Laser kiwi.

Piney is over there for NZ Herald and Newstalk ZB, not SKY, guarantee it will be Dewhurst and Harry/Fred in front of a screen in Auckland, telling us that the 'atmosphere is electric here'...

On a dodgy stream they got from the YF forums.

Thanks to no trains tomorrow, I'll be working from home and might just stop working at 3pm.

Anyone in the Hutt valley heading to a pub to watch? I was going to come into the city but the stupid train situation came up. Don't mind watching at home but would rather pub if possible

Great video of Ryan Thomas visiting Olé Football Academy. Really powerful stuff!

Ryan Thomas Returns to Olé Football Academy

wish I was working from pub tomorrow :(
