You know whats funny... we all remember the Mexico game right? When people were saying '2-0 is fantastic', i came out and said 'how is this fantastic? we lost'. People then posted lols and said i was dreaming if i ever thought we could win games against nations ranked as high as Mexico.... ha! Now people are saying we can make it out of our group...

I think you'll find it was seen as a fantastic result because it was a major step for NZ rather than a 'good narrow loss'. Same with the 2-1 loss to Oz, it wasn't that we got so close, but rather that we were starting to challenge these sides. The Serbia result was even better because we challenged them for the full 90 minutes and matched them all over the park, the 1-0 part is still kind of irrelevent until the cup has started.

I understand that, but people were saying 2-0 is all we could ever hope for. Which is BS.
