They haven’t been able to come up with decent policy in years and I guess this goes to prove how fucked they really are.

Some Aussie credit:

Kiwis’ exploits, joy send cynicism to the sidelines

A group of players who aren’t overpaid, who love the shirt, who are rejoicing in the experience and are happy to share their excitement with everyone. It’s been a reminder of what football was about before the gold started falling from the sky, and it resonates.

… whatever happens, and however it’s managed, nothing can take away the joy New Zealand have brought to the World Cup. It won’t be forgotten for a long time.

I’m proud of the guys (All Whites!).

The first lot of posts were funny, but the rest of you are just plain mean.

Jacinda is cute, mattyroo. Yes a pinko lefty, but if you didn’t know she was you’d take a second look.

Incidently I appreciate that as New Zealanders they may genuinely feel patriotic toward NZ and support the all whites, but my cynicism radar just went off the scale watching it -it’s simply an attempt at getting some publicity and feel good promo for Labour to support their sagging popularity with Joe Public.

“Hey look at us we are still here. Vote for us so we can get back in power & get our hands on those ministerial credit cards again!”

This is the height of hypocrisy from the despicable Labour Party. How dare they link their ideology to the achievements of New Zealanders.

Labour’s decade of social engineering was about promoting mediocrity, rewarding underachievement, discouraging achievement and punishing excellence.

From an education system where everyone is a winner, through an immigration system that valued the diseased, illiterate and uneducated, onto a tax system which took from the overburdened to a welfare system that gave to the undeserving;

KIWI EXCELLENCE IS ACHIEVED IN SPITE OF THE LABOUR PARTY.

I think we’re failing to recognise the significance of this, people:

The Labour caucus (or at least the majority of them) actually managing to stay on message and in unison for almost a minute!

Mind you, it could be because there’s a guy just out of shot holding up a script written and faxed over by Helen Clark… 😀

It’s just different to the rugby Nick, underdog, no expectations, just some hope and slight optimism. This game has to be different, they need to try and win it.

I’m not staying up, I’ll get some zzzz’s and get up for it. I’ve properly organised the morning off work.

I think if we draw we need Italy to draw with less goals?

If we draw and Italy draw, it will come down to which team scores more goals tonight. That’s the last tie-breaker, after which it comes down to drawing lots.

If NZ beats Paraguay and Italy and Slovakia draw, New Zealand and Paraguay advance, with us as #1 qualifier
If NZ beats Paraguay and Italy beats Slovakia, NZ and Italy advance
If NZ and Paraguay draw and Italy beats Slovakia, Paraguay and Italy advance
If NZ and Paraguay draw and Slovakia beats Italy, Paraguay and Slovakia advance
If we lose, we go home

Bottom line; any of the four teams in the group can go through, and any can miss out.

Qualifying criteria

The ranking of each team in each group will be determined as follows:

a) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;
b) goal difference in all group matches;
c) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.

If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria,
their rankings will be determined as follows:

d) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the
teams concerned;
e) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams
concerned;
f) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams
concerned;
g) drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.

The teams finishing first and second in each group will qualify for the Round
of 16.

“If Paraguay beat New Zealand, we could even qualify with three draws like the 1982 team.”

Three points famously proved sufficient for Italy at Spain 1982, when Enzo Bearzot’s troops laboured through the group stage with stalemates against Poland, Peru and Cameroon. They went on to lift the Trophy.

http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/newsid=1255842/index.html#no+panic+italy+pressure+builds

NZ could also go through with three draws.

Great effort All Whites. Just not quite able to get up and pull of an upset but very creditable.

In the meantime the other underdogs sneak through, Slovakia do the business and beat Italy, fantastic for them. That means we end up ahead of Italy on the table, undefeated, so pretty damn good.

It’s amazing to think they were one fluke away from topping the group and round-of-16 glory. They deserved the draws but didn’t really kick on and seriously look like deserving a win – but that was the right game plan, keep things frustrated and hope for a lucky break.

I’m assuming that George Hawkins was the last to be filmed before smoko. They would have set the camera on the stuttering fool about twenty minutes before the tea trolley was due to arrive, and left him to it. By the time he had stuttered his way to the word ‘Whites’, the rest of caucus would have been on their second cup of tea.
