Well.  At least we've got the misses out of the way for the Paras.

Well my stream was more like an intermittant slideshow with spnish ad kiwi commentary, so I'm not sure what happened in the game, but I am very happy we're getting this type of game in NZ.

It really is true.
 
Seems impossible for NZ to score more than 1 goal as well!
 
Should've scored maybe 6 or 7 tonight, unbelievable as it sounds.

With all the chances they created the All Whites should have won, but at least they're creating them. Great to see an NZ team play so well (just don't mention the penalty).

Quabazaa - what were the commentators' general impression of the AWs (apart from Smeltz's great form in front of goal)?

Umm in the first half they were saying all our chances were only due to errors of the Hondure�an defense. Until our goal of course! Haha.

And in the second half they seemed more impressed - they were saying we were the superior team for a while. Then it was all about lack of finishing and they were praying we would miss that pen! They thought we were too physical, treating the game like an elimination rather than a friendly.. although noted that of course you gotta play like that at home in front of your home crowd.
