Group F - Italy, Paraguay, New Zealand, Slovakia

[Jono]

Absolutely, and I'd usually not condone it. But I think it's only fair for them to get a taste of their own medicine.

Fair enough. Just think it's important not to be hypocritical. Even though I want NZ to hang on.

NZ did score from an offside.

It's all relative.

 

[cpr]

Well, the NZ keeper has been top drawer. Been a great match this

 

[Meridio]

Omg, we've got a free kick

 

[99*]

40 seconds now. Come on. Hold, hold.

 

[_Ed_]

Heh @ Paston telling his team to push up.

He has the situation under control.

 

[silentstriker]

I can't believe I am this on the edge of my seat for a non-US game. What unbelievable effort from the NZ defense...totally epic.

And that goalie needs to be knighted ASAP. He better not have to work another day in his life.

 

[_Ed_]

Omg, we've got a free kick

I groaned when I heard the whistle, then "oh, wait, it's us!"

 

[PhoenixFire]

If only England had a fraction of NZs bottle and commitment, we might actually be half decent. My new favourite team, so gun.

 

[duffer]

Yes, get the **** in!

 

[grecian]

Blimey, well it's a good time for him to finally give you a 50/5o.

and another

Well done, struggle for Italy now.

 

[Meridio]

Unbelievable!! Huge result.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Haha Robbie Savage is hilarious on 5Live commentary.

 

[_Ed_]

And it's over.

Paston MOTM surely. What a guy.

And Wood was only inches away from a match-winner...

 

[99*]

Love it. Just love it.

 

[Jono]

Heh Italy. Cop that.

 

[GIMH]

Awesome stuff Kiwis, just awesome

On so many levels.

 

[_Ed_]

So proud.

 

[duffer]

Palumbo is going to be brilliant on SBS. Such a cynical, cynical man.

 

[Meridio]

So proud.

Same. Heart bursting tbh. Fantastic defence, Nelsen and Paston should be knighted.

 

[Athlai]

So ****ing awesome.
