Group F - Italy, Paraguay, New Zealand, Slovakia

[Johnners]

Hahaha, lol'd about the Reid part. Do, however, agree to a certain extent re: Fallon, elbowed a few in the face/throat. Sure italians made a meal of it, but it was pretty stupid of Fallon I thought.

tribalfootball is lots of the time loads of bull ****.. I'm inclined to think they made up this ****. I may be wrong. Are there any other sources?

edit: Apparently it is true. Dire stuff from cannavaro. Moaning about opposition physical ability? Isn't NZ supposed to use it to their advantage? What Gentile, Scirea might think of it?

Yup.

Game day - or Game Night I should say. Go NZ.

 

[straw man]

Once again not expecting too much from the All Whites - they've already vastly exceeded expectations by getting up for the draw twice. Players must be exhausted and I see Nelsen had a stomach bug. Paraguay have pace which we will struggle with, though once again, you never know what could happen.

Sincerely hoping Italy lose. Or at the very least draw 0-0.

All Whites to make my staying up worthwhile. At least a 1-1 draw please.

****ing arsehole, nothing would please me more than to see Italy out now.

Two words, one starting with "p", the other with "k".

Something to do with a colour, as well...

So you're saying our performance tonight is going to be the equivalent of our skates coming off and slamming into a wall of solid ice at 60 miles an hour?

Hmmmm, wouldn't mind us going out in penalties in the semi-finals. (which is what I consider crashing out in the last run as)

Huge game tonight, can't wait.

Thought about staying up all night but thought I'd better try and get a couple of hours' sleep first. Either way, work is going to be hell tomorrow. Though if we win, I may just be tempted to take the day off sick.

A few years ago I didn't think we'd qualify for a World Cup in my lifetime. Now, we have a decent chance at going through to the second round. Amazing stuff, and whatever happens tonight I'm still so proud of the way we've acquitted ourselves.

Had a good feeling about the game earlier in the week; woke up this morning and saw that Nelsen's been sick and started getting a bit of a sinking feeling. Hope he's alright, because we need him desperately.

I've had my power nap, and am all pumped up.

We are underdogs, but I have the same hope as previous games.

Go All Whites!!

 

[GIMH]

This group is such an interesting one.

 

[sledger]

Really hope NZ go through and Italy go out.

2am kick-off here.

 

[Steulen]

This group is such an interesting one.

Would still expect Paraguay and Italy to qualify, though, as per the dominant prediction after the WC draw was made.

 

[ripper868]

Go the Kiwis...feel dirty but I'm never going to supportthe Itais.

 

[Athlai]

Well we're playing Paraguay...

 

[Nate]

C'mon New Zealand.
