NZ just chasing shadows out there.

4 - 0 Fabregas

This could be double figures!

D.S.

Too easy for Spain...ridiculous that it this easy...feel sorry for NZ...they are going in at half time with their tails between their legs, and have another 45 mins of this..

Absolutely no arguments there!

The good news for NZ is that Del Bosque will prolly make 3 subs at half time.

Nice handstand there by Xabi

Bahrain, DPRK, Iran or Saudi Arabia will surely be too much for the sheep loving NZ when they meet in the WC play off. Stick to the rugger i'd say for the all whites.

Would you fancy any of these teams to do any better against Spain?

Did anyone else just see that?






NZ had possession for a second.

Headshot

Brazil could have a bit of joy against spains left side

Headshot

Yes yes yes

D.S.

Jaysus, the NZ defense is pathetic...

Aidric

Good Christ, what a howler from the NZ defender.

Unearthly

what a howler

mike65

Thats just embarrassing, I'd hope to be subbed after that.

MementoMori

Nice nutmeg by Nando and competent finish by Villa 5-0

Horrible mistake by defender

MementoMori

Arbeloa for Ramos
Carloza for Xavi

Good call on that bet Headshot.

Between yourself and Mikes tips today there are a few boardsies with fat wallets this evening !

Will someone get Rentokil out to that then?
That noise better not be there for every match... it detracts from even a 5-0 Spain win.

If that's blowhorns... do the people over there not breathe?

Paul Tergat

The ridicluous horns are a norm in SA footie it seems. Whenever Utd have had pre-season games there theyve been at it all game. It's so annoying and has the potential to ruin part of the WC enjoyment.

D.S.

What the hell was that Christy Brown comment all about by Hamilton/Cunnigham??

Headshot

nice one

thank you very much

mike65

5-0 while hardly trying for parts of the second half and robbed of two near certain goals by the stoopid linesman. Iraq must be one for double figuers.

Noticed that aswell, do they ever stop bleedin blowing on them and dancing. The whole feckin 90mins.

Fair enough on the blowhorns but whats wrong with them dancing?

The horns "Vuvuzelas" are going to be at every ****ing 2010 match.

I did a bit of a search and apperantly Fifa wanted to ban them but SA made a case that they are integrated too much into SA football to ban them and they are now being allowed.

Hopefully they change the rules so that they are banned at every match SA is not involved in.
The locals are going to get a shock when they get them broken over their heads from other fans.They are so annoying its unbelievable.

So NZ are one game away from the world cup finals....having overcome the might of New Caledonia, Vanuata and Fiji in their qualifying group?!

Something is wrong there somewhere...

Glico Man

regarding those blasted horns...one of the lads i was watching it with asked if there was a giant angry bee in the stadium...if those things are gonna be at the world cup then i think i'll be watching it on BBC or on mute or at the very worst on ITV

Its a toughie.
I guess you have to give Oceania some sort of representation, so half a place seems just about reasonable.
Its probably not fair to judge them against Spain anyway.

FIFA, Jack Walker, Mr Blatter, do you read this board?
All will be forgiven if you ban those bloody horns next summer (you can allow them in the South African games).

Thats fair enough, but I dunno....surely they should be lumped in with another qualifying zone such as Asia....didnt Australia move to that zone? Although I'm not up to speed with why they were moved...

Its just I was astonished to find that NZ were so close to the WC 2010! If only Ireland had such a qualifying group! :P

But if you throw NZ into Asia then you still have 30 countries in Oceania and as said they have to have some sort of representation at the finals, so you end up perhaps with Fiji or Pitcairn getting into a playoff?

Unless you make a decision that Oceania is rubbish and derserves no representation whatsoever, which seems unfair.

Xavi6 might know the reasons why Australia moved, I'm not sure but I think they asked for the move themselves as they felt they were too big a fish for that pond.

They were lobbying for it for years.

They felt it was unfair that they'd play qualifiers against teams of a low standard (afaik they beat a south pacific island 36-0 a few years back) and then have to make a leap up to a higher standard to play someone like Peru, Ecuador or Colombia.
