1106716 2010-06-15 22:45:00 I didn't watch the game, I watched the page displaying the score "live" on the herald site.

After 45 minutes a zero changed into a 1, after another 45 minutes the other zero changed into a 1.

Pretty exciting stuff.

1106719 2010-06-15 23:02:00 I was a bit excited watching that header from seemingly "nowhere" since the Slovakians dominated the last 30 or so minutes with speed and skill/tactics. Not really a soccer fan but most of my student peers were soccer players (in Pakuranga/Howick years back).

Been a long time since I watched NZ soccer, including the live Fiji game in 81/82 (with the streaker) where NZ scored multiple goals.

Though good to see Ricki Herbet's beaming face after that header...

Last time I played Soccer was at Spriggens Park in Wangvegas. Is that still there or did they build houses on it?

1106721 2010-06-15 23:19:00 Oh really

The top five sports played in clubs by boys aged 5 to 17 are:


17% Soccer
16% Rugby union
14% Swimming
8% Cricket
8% Hockey


I know a lot of youngsters start off playing soccer rather than rugby . Some will switch to rugby later, as they grow . My son was one of them, even though his Dad was a rep in provincial junior rugby . Some of those boys, the same age as my son, were far taller and twice as wide, even at seven . It was important that he got enjoyment out of sport .
I don't often watch a lot of rugby on tv, but I do like to watch first class soccer .

Go the All Whites!!:banana

1106723 2010-06-16 01:43:00 Yes it makes you think of Denmark !

And good to see a part Maori boy playing soccer.

There is more to sport than rugby and league.

NZ is doing quite well in our group so far with all 4 teams on 1 point.

1106724 2010-06-16 06:45:00 And good to see a part Maori boy playing soccer.

As far as I am aware,they have 2 legs ?.

This going on about NZ's win,is to me on par with that Maori chap that won a major golf tourny in the USA,a one off,mark my words.

Lol.
