I prefer this version

Piney is over there, is he doing it?

Piney is over there, is he doing it?

Piney is over there, is he doing it?

Piney is over there, is he doing it?

Piney is over there, is he doing it?

you can say that again

oh you already did

My wife is 39 weeks pregnant and experience bricks and hicks - she has been told, there is to be no birth today under any circumstances.

I want to hide in the corner of my staff room with my other teachers and watch the game in peace whilst being an "active" participant in the staff meeting.

Cmon the All Whites!!

Sorry, no idea why it does that!

all good!

There's no chance in heck that we'll score the first goal, is there.  None - right?  None at all.  Zero chance. Not even a little.

And the team FIFA ranks 100 places higher always wins.  Right?

Charge of the Light Brigade time.  Smash em boys. Swords versus cannons.  

COYAW

You have an opportunity here... tell your work your wife has gone into labour.. go to pub and watch game.  Then say it was a false alarm if they ask about your newborn baby tomorrow.

(Also, If NZ win and it ends up being a boy, you have to name the baby after whoever scores!)

Perfect plan. so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel

Have talked about the name idea.. we have no idea what to call him as of yet. 

Thought about using it... but no way my DP would buy it sadly!

wow espn argentina  is already two hours into their pregame show, still sky is going over 15 minutes before kick off.

our witchcraft is not very good. Has not worked for 35 years ;)

potentially has opposite effect haha

Looks like you're going to have to pull the "I've got appendicitis and need to go to hospital" trick instead then. You can't miss this game :)

Nervous tick?

If it's a boy, it's a Winston or Wynton.

If it's a girl, it could be Lima, but I'd rather you called her Tuiloma.

Hope the boys have been practicing their sign language.

Short twitter clip from NZF on stuff showing massive noise already.

good luck to everyone may the best team tonight go through

Saw a shot of the stadium - jesus the stands are close. That is intimidating.

Or extremely exciting :) 17 secs of holy shark

They will not be able to here anything on the pitch

Reckon Hudson saying everyone was fit was a load of crap from the beginning. No Wood. No Smith. Fudge sake.

I am having heart palpitations, I don't even think Durante is good enough to start for the Nix anymore

2 × B757s bro ;)

Wow, no Wood again.  

We will be hanging on for dear life until he gets on.  Need him on much closer to half time if he is going to have a chance to do anything.  I just can't see us scoring without him on - we looked completely innefectual on Saturday without him.

Did you catch the video inside the stadium with still an hour to go...

Hudson was never going to give the Peruvians any heads up.

Smith was always an outside chance.

Is Wood on the bench? Hoping to get an hour out of him maybe

Teams list?

Wood not starting. Tuiloma and Durable start.

Durante playing wtf, his awful

We also have one less man up top with Rojas off - so it will basically just be Kosta up there. We will be inviting pressure until Wood comes on, which is a dangerous move.

I don't have much faith in Tuiloma either..

Watching Honduras last night - you need to go for it at the start when the hosts are still nervous. Once they settle into their rhythm and put the pressure on, we're fudgeed. We won't do that with this team.

Yeah but there is a game of a lifetime in everyone.

Now's his time

Kiwis players getting booed, warming up on the youtube link.

Was feeling quitely confident until i saw the line ups, no rojas, smith or wood, 3 of our best players. Kosta doesnt have the strength to hold the ball up either, the pressure will be immense 

Rojas on the bench as well.

Sure is Tuiloma's time!

Wood is not starting?

Oh well, that line up blew up most of my excitement about this game. Now we only have Barba up front?? Geez we are going to need all the luck in the world
