It's Mexico & football, so nailed on there'll be one.
Made me laugh the other day when our new driver on our council truck here in Sydney asked
"How come I can't find these "streams" for my Rugby League when I wanna watch them?"

I'd just like to point out that thanks to a brilliant mind, our group won't have to deal with this unfortunate issue.

That is all.

Tickets booked!

Girlfriend lives in Adelaide, so she took it upon herself to buy tickets. She went and bought them in the NZ supporters zone, not quite realising the level of banter that will be occuring. Needless to say it could be quite an introduction to a football.

COYAW, the stakes just got raised here!

Surely you could organise it to take place in Adelaide.

Alright lads.  We've got a pre-match venue.

We're off to 'The British Hotel'. 58 Finiss Street North Adelaide.
 
 
I have details at home on specials for the day on beer and noms.  I'll post tonight.  Spread the word to anyone going to meet there.  Wear white..
 
There will be some Aus fans there as well but hopefully lads we know and not stoopids.
 
Get In!

3.50 cab shiraz...it'll be just like Jo'burg all over again.

$16 bucks for a burger and a pint is pretty decent too.

Reasonably work news, you get a B-.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

I was mistaken. I will be in Auckland for the Mexico game - and covering it live for the Herald site!

Not sure how much of us will be left when we get to Adelaide, Melbourne for two nights could (will) go horribly wrong.

Caught a bit of the game on the flight from Adelaide to Sydney. Weirdly as soon as it came on I was on the screen. I reckon it is awesome that for most of the game (of what I saw anyway) all you could hear were the Kiwi supporters. Aussies are a bit sh*t sometimes, to be fair.

Yeah I have no idea how many of you were there but you were audible for pretty much the whole game with some epic chants. Well done.

About 50 of us I reckon.  Coudl only here two chants from the Australia: Aussie aussie aussie, and a mexican wave. Pathetic.
 
Have spent the day at a wine tour.  Very rough for most of us.  Feverish didn't make it.

Almost managed to get a Aussie guy biffed out after 20 mins  by winding him up with chance.

I like how the security guard told us off for swearing - one person in particular - but said it was okay if we swore in our songs. Brilliant.

I suspect that if you last saw it when Feverish had it it will be somewhere around King St in Melbourne and an establishment that has a name that sounds like a mint flavoured african beast...

Think my favourite was "Oh Smeltzy..." and not because it has earned me great acclaim but for the look on Smiffy, Dale & Co's faces when they got to the "...We'll give it to Chris Greenacre!".
 
Thankyou Sky Sport for capturing the moment of realisation and confusion!!!
