yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Frisbee

Fantastic ball from Smeltz, really top quality.

TouchingVirus

Shocking bad defending again, great cross and a great header. Slovakia would be sickened with that one

Scorpion Sting

Their first ever World Cup point!!! :eek:

pickarooney

Yay, New Zealand!

GOLASOOOOOOOO

1-1 Winston Reid on 92 minutes.

Congrats New Zealand.

:eek:

Dublin_Gunner

Shocking defending in fairness.

Should have been the second headed goal in as many minutes though, the miss a couple of minutes ago was disgraceful.

93min - New Zealand equalizer, Winston Reid

Full Time: 1-1

I've been impressed with Slovakia since they scored - Weiss, Vittek and Sestak were the three best players before they were all taken off. Delighted that NZ equalised - serves the Slovakia manager right for taking off the three best attacking players to go defensive. Managers are ruining this tournament.

Winston Reid also made an awesome tackle earlier. Nice to see New Zealand get a point - they were better than Australia anyway.

And that's all she wrote.

First goal for Reid in his fourth international, a fine goal at that but Xavi's right about the cross, absolute quality!

Kiwi_knock

Great end to the match, they did enough to deserve the point

Zombienosh

he got a yellow card for taking his shirt off? also what was with the mad bandages?

pickarooney

Slovakia could easily have lost that if that plank of a NZ number 9 had made decent contact. Delighted for Slovakia after they pissed about with injury-time subs; I have no time for any team that does that.

Xavi6

NZ win 1-1

Looking at the replays he was just onside I think.

Im guessing he meant Frisbee. These mods are all bots anyway!

Italy and Paraguay should be both kickin themselves if they don't progress!

Go on the Kiwis, always great to see the little teams having something to celebrate.

Thought Slovakia were much better than Paraguay, in the second half anyway. They could string a few passes together and have a few good attacking players, and got a good goal, albeit offside. Paraguay didn't do much against Italy - jury is still out.

Dozen Wicked Words

Brilliant result for the Kiwis, joint top of the group

Does not compute.

pickarooney

With a small 'a', 'aboriginal' refers to any group of native inhabitants.

When talking about Xavi I assume he just got the mods mixed up as it was Frisbee (a fellow mod) who commented on the good cross...?

What a fantastic finish, the boys didn't give up. Get in!

Paraguay at least looked well organised last night.

Slovakia clearly didn't, even before the late equaliser!

Not true.

Aborigine: A member of the indigenous or earliest known population of a region; a native.

Maori's are probably Aborigines, so are Eskimos (Inuits) etc etc. . . :P

Didn't see the game should Ireland be worried by this Slovakian team.

steelcityblues

Ireland shouldn't worry too much, but I can already see two draws home and away once again! :rolleyes:

redout

Slovakia looked dodgy as fcuk all game to be honest.

Every time NZ attacked there was uncertainty in the defence.

Anyone notice that every time NZ knocked the ball up front they won practically every header without fail.

Scorpion Sting

Ireland shouldn't be one bit worried about the Slovakians to be honest. They haven't much when going forward.

Not really no. Should really be beating them.
