On seeing that, I tend to believe the FIFA stats.
But I prefer the BBC ones

I'm guessing it counts the offside as a foul.
Three for me, and two for them.

Man, still totally buzzing out...
Not the best game ever witnessed, agreed, but the late drama, the excitement of the goal, and the momentous, glorious, historic 1st point in the World Cup Finals totally over-ride any negative buzzes atm...
Smeltz won back my heart with his great challenge to win the ball, and the quality of his delivery.
Winston the man on the spot and totally went ballistic when he slotted it home.
Pretty sure we woke half the neighbourhood!
Great day to be a Kiwi football fan, in fact, it's been a great 18 months really.
Super, super stoked. The boys must be absolutely on cloud f*cking 9 right about now, and deservedly so.
COYAWs!

Don't the BBC ones make the shots a bit more even? I'm an old romantic, News. We battled against the odds with a minority of possession and came through........

Yep, for me that Nelsen moment is every bit as powerful a display of passion and intensity for the All Whites as Stuart Pearce's roar after scoring his penalty against Spain in Euro 96 was for England. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0OCRrvMBpA

Ryan Nelson has the arms of Hercules. They are f**king huge. I'm surprised the captains strap doesn't rip apart when he flexes.
We will never fully decide who has won the football.

Alot of positive media and plenty of all whites stuff worn around chch today. Just hope the fairweather 'fans' dont turn if things dont go as well against italy & paraguay. backhands may be needed if that happens

Thought that Killen, Fallon and Smeltz played brilliantly in the first 20 minutes. They provided another element when chasing and pressuring the ball carrier. Goal opportunities arose as a consequence. When that tapered off the opportunities depended on long balls and highlighted the obvious weakness in the midfield. McGlinchy needs to come on as a substitute at some point for Elliot. Crossing fingers Brown will be back!

i don't think a late draw with slovakia will ever be quite as gloriously celebrated lol. great to watch, all whites were bound to put a header in eventually after coming so close so many times.
bring on italy i guess

Been on a high since the result.
Discusiion point rather than being negative..
Felt that Ivan was unable to look forward with his passing, this caused problems as we were either going backwards or sideways.
Since we had three target men it was surprising I thought we would have had outlets for the pass. Very hard to get a true picture from the TV.
