Jesus I feel like this is getting blown way out of proportion in both directions. Martin's comments, although accurate, were ill-conceived. Peru's actions were unsurprising and not exactly evil. No one got hurt nor was anyone ever actually in danger of getting hurt (pretty sure those lasers can't do damage in those situations). NZ sports fans do need rarking up, we are too quiet and meek and it negates our home ground advantage. Overall though, this shark is all pretty silly. Bitching about it kind of makes us look like sore losers, even if people aren't saying it's an excuse for our loss.
That's the problem I have, is that we are just supposed to accept it. If they had diverted our plane to somewhere further away than Chile and delayed us by 8 hours would that still have been ok?
If objects had been thrown from the crowd at NZ players would that still just have been what we were supposed to expect.
There seems to be this attitude that it would be ok for Peru fans/officials/government to have free reign and do whatever the hell they wanted.
