I think he should wait until after the game against Slovakia


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Nelsen's Gentle Jab At Socceroos?
NEW Zealand skipper Ryan Nelsen couldn't help but take a gentle dig at the Socceroos after their failure against Germany, saying the Kiwi in him demanded it.

Have your say.

Be careful there Mr Nelsen... Best to be able to do the walk before the talk... I also think Slovakia and Germany are very different propositions... Good luck for the game anyway...

Haha, "rivals"...

I wonder if the All-Whites ever consider that they have Australia to thank on several fronts that they are even in the World Cup at all.

Very tongue in cheek from Nelson. We would do the same thing.
Imagine the shit we would put on them if they get done 5-0.:P

No doubt. World class aussie hipocrites.
I would say that most kiwi's have been quite restrained as they are fully aware there's a lot of football to go. A bit of a dig by some, as aussie's ALWAYS overrate themselves.
Kiwis are up against it but in with a chance.

Lol. Fair enough Ryan. I may shed a few crocodile tears for NZ too. However, I would have waited for the sheep to come in for shearing before I ran my mouth off.

Fair enough but Italy are about as good if not better than Germany, So I hope we can do better than 4 goals down against them. Australia were hindered by Verbeeks tactics and Germany are a great proven side enough said !!! Cmon All Whites have a crack 3 strikers I like it go hard or go home ay

the sad part is that both NZ AND Australia are looking increasingly likely to come home sooner rather than later.

You haven't played a game yet! Come on, be positive!

Italy aren't in great form... Paraguay are beatable... Slovakia are not great!

Ummmm you're a new New Zealander? Soooo......

He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.

It's easy to come across as cocky when you're yet to lose a game. Pity NZ haven't actually played a game yet.

Ryan has no place to comment until after they've crossed paths with a side ranked inside the top 30 in the world.

Are you serious? Did you watch the game last night? Italy were very mediocre. Cannavaro was terrible. They're not playing well at all. Right now, Germany would beat them comfortably.

On the forum section (as opposed to just commenting on the news articles) there's a 'quote' button. Alternatively, it's HTML tags [*quote] and [*/quote] around the text you want to quote (remove the * to make it work, otherwise you'd not be able to see what I'm on about).
