On a side note, both goals that we have conceded have been sh*t calls.



Hey yeah! We haven't conceded a fair goal!

Can you believe this? If someon told you after November 14 we would be unbeaten in two games what would you have said?

Good on you Nelsen for saying it like it is.

Shows what a disgrace the big teams are.

Italy - diving cheats

France - Cry babies

England - Scared sh*tless.


AW's got stuck in and gave it a go. Fantastic!

This is not a test match, this is not a friendly, this is the real thing.

Yadda yadda yadda 7th vs 5th in the world

Imagine Italy beating the All Blacks at rugby

Yadda yadda yadda

Great result fcukn amazing.

Fixed.


That is SO it. We were actually robbed.

Imagine what the Italian press are going to say about that performance from the Azzuri. Had to fake a dive and milk the penalty to draw against NZ

  Improving,,on the up, a work in progress from Italiano and the Nix. Bring on the bathroom bling in '24! COYN!

Get over Wayne Barnes, New Zealand, Carlos Batres is public enemy number one now. I can only imagine how things could have turned out!

Can't believe we might get more points than the French by the end of this. Totally never saw this coming. But sh*t it is a proud day to be a Kiwi!

Comments from my US and Euro friends on other forums:

"The whole football world loves New Zealand."

"Huge draw! That keeper was *insane* on the goal... Good luck getting past him! Great result, NZ!"

"Yep, a grrrreat keeper.  Haha, and the Italian drivers 'round here will not drive around town honking their horns all night. I guess that's all because the Italians had no cute shirtless fans in the stadium. "

From the FIFA site

"New Zealand caused South Africa 2010's biggest upset thus far by holding world champions Italy to a 1-1 draw at Nelspruit's Mbombela Stadium. In the end, only a Vincenzo Iaquinta penalty prevented Marcello Lippi's Azzurri dropping all three points as the All Whites, who took an early lead through Shane Smeltz, produced a courageous and intelligent performance to earn their second FIFA World Cup� point."

Note those words, courageous and intelligent, totally correct

I just saw that Nike ad again when Cannavaro is being serenaded by that old geezer for that over head kick in front of goal...

Someone should make a mockery video of him diving and crying against the AWs, but have an AWs supporter in the seat instead pointing and laughing at the screen
