NZ U-17 best wishes thread - keep it seem

Folks,

Despite him being a complete shambles Stacky suggested we put a thread together to offer best wishes to the NZ girls.  He will be letting them know where to look.  Get your posts in here.

Oska and co.  No asking for digits.

Girls, keep the chins up, you did yourselves proud. All the very best for the next two games. Same effort and you must come away with something to show. Enjoy the tournament to the max.

WOW what a spectacle that was to kick off the tournament. That had all the feel of a world cup finals game mens or womens. The way the game was played was simply beautiful all the team should feel so proud on how how they played.

Oh Kiwi girls....are wonderful!!!!

Brilliant last night girls. You did yourself and the country proud. Keep it going and you will make the quaters. All the Best

Saw them at the stadium today, they were there to keep an eye on the Colombians and the Danes. for when they whip the Danes on Saturday (I hope).

You were great last night girls, and looking at today's game, you're in with a good chance.  Go for it, get it, and celebrate.

Great team effort with some individual flashes of brilliance..commentator even compared one effort to Ronaldinho!  Keep it flowing and the fans will come again as will the results

Congratulations on a great effort last night. You  represented yourselves and New Zealand fantastically on the world stage.

Well done girls, keep up the effort and a quarter final spot will come. Work and you will get the results.

Brilliant performance girls.  Great stuff.

great stuff.....didn't see the whole game cos I was at work but what I saw was brilliant......my two football mad boys (11 and 9) were also impressed!

Really good performance.

10/10 for Hannah Wall.

Outstanding effort ladies, unlucky not to get a draw or even win.....but you have captured our hearts, and the nations attention, and we are all behind you for your next two matches.

We'll be there in full voice to cheer you on against Columbia next Tuesday and good luck vs the Danes at the weekend.

Proud of you all, and you played very good football.

Ive always had a pretty average opinion of womens football, but thought id watch the game against Canada anyway. Bloody impressed.

Everyone left the stadium buzzing and proud of your efforts against Canada.

Aw come on!

That did not need to be snipped.

Jez.

The overzealous mod drunk on both a Thursday night session at 12.31am and power.  

Except the Mod in question was at his desk at a London law firm, so was dead sober and an excellent judge of what is and isn't appropriate.

We may know Harry's age, but an ill-informed journalist looking in here won't and we know the record of some of that profession in these circumstances.

Ooh a lawyer. 

Bounce back for Tuesday..u can still rain on someone elses parade as well with a good result...Columbia need to win to stay in. 

That's true. Am I right in saying if they defeat Colombia it will be the first win for a NZ team at a (football) world cup?

Nope. NZ beat Poland 2-1 in the 99 U17 World Cup held here.

I have been absolutely stunned by how good our Young Ferns have been. I'm really looking forward to being at the match on Tuesday to give them the support they have earned with their performances so far.

Under my avatar can I have "Dont worry, I'm 16" then?

It was still pretty dodge

Gotta says you teenagers are really doing a service to the world at large.. my female other half was riveted to the tv on saturday afternoon...almost cried with you  at the end and is thinking about coming to the game with me on Tuesday!! Just that by itself is a miracle!!  I  never imagined it possible that we would watch sport togther !!

Good luck team. You have performed superbly and have played some great football. Give it heaps against Colombia, we're right behind you.
