a new zealand football question

[turienzo's lovechild]

do they do the HAKA?

if not, WHY not?

 

[Silent Bob]

Because they're all white probably.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I'm fairly confident their cricket team don't do it either...

 

[Simster]

It would be quality if they did that at the soccerball.

Their African opponents would probably look at them, baffled, and think they were being racist and MAIM them when the soccerball got underway.

 

[Mendoza]

I have seen New Zealand play 4 times, they have not done the HAKA once. The thought of Rory Fallon doing it is just DREAMY

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i've just witnessed videos of their ICE HOCKEY and BASKETBALL teams doing it plus one of their u-17's football team doing it, but alas none of the senior football team

is it because they'd look silly doing that and then getting tonked 5-0? or is it only done when there's a decent amount of maori/pacific islander players in the team?

 

[Simster]

How on EARTH do they do the haka in ice skates?

the thought of daniel vettori leading the chanting in his cricket whites is AMAZING

The maoris are particularly sensitive over their beloved haka. They went mental when Everton did some sort of novelty version to help promote their new shirt.

It's bollocks, if you ask me.

 

[Kumquat]

Do the kiwis have a haka team and do they do it?

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Their football team is called the All Whites.

White by name, white by nature.

 

[Archibald Leach]

I'm wondering if I'm hallucinating but I'm sure we played the New Zealand football team at the Goldstone in a friendly and they did perform the Haka.

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

?

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Probably because FIFA have no concept of tradition, passion or what the fans want, and therefore don't allow them to.

So, who's playing in shirts

 

[Lady Whistledown]

More to the point, how weedy is that number 2? I hope there's not a breeze, or he'll blow over.

17, on the other hand <beefcake>
