Haha, yeah, she had a mare.

The men's team's chances are pretty much gone, but I hope they have a good win over Belgium tonight anyway.

_Ed_ · 05-08-2012, 02:12 AM

Awesome first half from Pontifex. NZ didn't create many opportunities at the other end, though.

Meridio · 05-08-2012, 02:24 AM

Yeah, we're looking woeful this game. Belgium completely dominant, quicker through the midfield and looks like they're doing more work off the ball; their strikers are finding quite a lot of space - must have had 7 or 8 clear shots on goal.

Scaly piscine · 05-08-2012, 02:08 PM

So err yea I heard the Aussies blew a 3 goal lead against us. Oops.

Guess it shouldn't matter too much for the Aussies, but still...

flibbertyjibber · 05-08-2012, 03:17 PM

Quiet aren't they? Unforgivable letting a lead like that slip.

benchmark00 · 05-08-2012, 03:18 PM

As if it matters.

Some deliberate Ghambiring here but we are getting dominated a wee bit in the girls game.
Still 0-0 but the goal is under review aws

She is good looking and everything but she is losing us the game. Shouldn't be on the field. should be in charge of PR.

Hurricane · 06-08-2012, 03:04 AM

My Ghambiring worked - 0-0 the finish but if that was a boxing match we would've lost on points.

Bahnz · 06-08-2012, 03:20 AM

As I understand it, this guarantees us 2nd place in the group? We have a superior goal difference to oz, so if the last game is a draw, us and argentina will go through?

Meridio · 06-08-2012, 06:08 AM

Yes!!!

Was thinking of avoiding all news sources today until I could watch a replay after work, but decided I couldn't resist. Stoked.

My reading of the table says that no matter what happens in the other game, we go through second. If Australia win they go through top; if Argentina win then they go through top; and if it's a draw Argentina are top due to best goal difference while we're second. Will most likely be playing the Netherlands, though GB are a decent chance to upset them in which case we'll be up against them.

Now, got to find me some semi-finals tickets.

Haven't caught the women's Hockey until today but the NZ'ers and the Dutch teams certainly win and the babes front.
