*** The official NZ v Slovakia thread ***

Hamsik is going to tear it

I hope you're right ..

And Long suffering....

And something vaguely Middle Earth related. Do they have a couple of big lads in defence, kind of Two Towers? Or an injured striker on the way back, sort of a returning king, if you will?

Scandalous that Spiderman isn't in the Slovakia squad.

For this reason I shall mainly be supporting New Zealand.

Slightly disappointing that ITV aren't covering this one, thus depriving Clive Tyldesley to squeeze in something about it being "All White" on the night.

On the plus side....the BBC red button right now has all the warm up action and EVERYTHING !

Don't think you'll escape the vuvuzelas even here though

 

[Simster]

Sure is. Prepare for some serious Shane SMELTZ goalage.

SMELTZ starts.

Could be the second FLAIRNIAC-named player to score after HONDA did the business for Japan.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

A'otearoa!!!

 

[Simster]

I hope NZ do the HAKA.

FLAIR.

 

[Trigger]

Unbelievable, I know he's only 18 but they can't leave Chris Wood on the bench!

Least Winston Reid is playing!

 

[Stinky Pete]

Team all whites

Perhaps they'll perform the Kapa o Pango

How very dare you. The All Whites beat Vanuatu 2-1 AWAY and New Caledonia 3-1 AWAY in qualifying so what makes you think Slovakia will do them.

 

[Pantani]

New Zealand 0-1 Slovakia

Atmosphere: Shit
Football: Insipid

Miserable git. This will finish 3-2 Slovakia in the best match of the tournament so far. Believe!

 

[Trigger]

AWESOME

The Kapa o Pango version...

Can you imagine the All Whites doing this?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I think it might be alright, as NZ will see this as their best chance of getting some points on the board so they should be tempted to attack a bit.

The Hobbits of world football?

It's incredible how much they get into it. If I was an opponent facing that lot, I would be absolutely BRICKING it. Anyone remember the French game where Sebastien Chabal was facing them? He looked like he wanted to EAT them

That said, the All Blacks have a history of bottling it in the big games so it's obviously not doing much for them beyond the first five minutes
