It doesn't rain that much in melbourne. It's just fucking COLD!

New Zealand have been hard done by in their first two games, the goal they copped in the first game was clearly offside, and the penatly that Italy got in the second game was a joke- A shirt pull followed by a huge dive. And before all you Italian lovers start harping on about a shirt pull answer me how many other teams have been awarded penalties for a shirt pull so far in this tournament which has been full of shirt pulling inside the box. New Zealand could and probably should be on six points going into their third game. Paraguay will be tough but i would love to see New Zealand go though to the second round with their "inferior" A league players.

New Zealand or Melbourne? ;)

I've spent a fair bit of time over there. Two years ago I was over there for 10 days in January, it rained for 8 of them.

:lol:

Nah bru, only in the winter hey...

If Killen is being Frank about the All Whites, does that mean Kennedy is going to have to be Joe about the socceroos? :?

This bloke definatly lost a couple of hundred the other night :lol:

Go home you sheep shager! There is no way you drew with Italy. I must still be having a nightmare.

sounds familiar...

Confidence is a funny thing.

Well done NZ.

Definitely not laughing stocks... BUT, 1 hot day doesn't make a summer.

HANK cuz, you have obviously never been to NZ in Summer lol

Agreed and agreed - couldn't say it much better apart from adding that the Italians obviously left their shooting boots at home.

V for Victory you are an absolute idiot if all you can say is Derogatory remarks then what is the point of saying anything, if you want to talk about cheating what about the time wasting towards the end of the game by two Kiwis and in fact one of them got a yellow card you forgot their goal was suspicious so please will you make some insightful coments not jsut rubbish which has been sprouted by every tome dick and harry. one more point if we cheated then Brazil are bloody Angles what is your comment about that!!!!

Agreed. Very happy to see the Kiwis not getting spanked as expected, and have cheered them on in both their games, but lets not get carried away.

Definitely not laughing stocks... BUT, 1 hot day doesn't make a summer.

What disgusted me most about the Italians was there style of play built essentially on injury faking, crawling, sneaky, arse licking, play to the referee style of football, that symbolically tells me that slowly but surely the ancien regime that is European football is slowly showing its inevitable decline.

NZ, legends.

What about the French cheating?

What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Killen Frank About All Whites?
NEW Zealand forward Chris Killen claims his country can no longer be treated as the laughing stock of world football after their perfomance at this World Cup.

Have your say.
