Group F - Italy, Paraguay, New Zealand, Slovakia

[_Ed_]

Solid from Paston. Hope his confidence is up near where it was in the second half against Italy.

 

[Athlai]

Ref hasn't rewarded any diving either, bodes well.

 

[_Ed_]

Another good cross.

 

[grecian]

Italy fail

This. TBH.

 

[99*]

OOOOOOHHHH again. Bertos looking the goods here.

 

[Flem274*]

Bet that was a harsh call.

Nelsen excellent again. May have even prevented a goal there.

And again.

 

[Flem274*]

Nelsen proving that the big names actualy are loyal to NZ. There's been a fair bit of talkback sniping over the years.

 

[_Ed_]

Liking this referee so far.

 

[Flem274*]

can haz goal plz?

 

[Athlai]

Tame half for both teams.

 

[_Ed_]

So when does the game start?

 

[99*]

Half time. Will take 0-0 atm. Haven't looked half bad either, some good chances.

 

[99*]

Italy saved by a balls width of going two down.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Slovakia dominating, Italy barely stringing two passes together. Nearly had a goal when Skrtel headed two inches over his own goal though.

 

[Flem274*]

Our defence has been a brick wall through the group matches. It's fantastic. Just one more half...

 

[_Ed_]

Two goals in 225 minutes of football. That's something for Reid, Smith, Paston and Nelsen to be proud of, whatever happens in the next 45.

Paraguay to win 7-0 now.
