Boom - that will get a few more bums on seats in the NZ games.
Well done Football Ferns!
NZ games are pretty well sold out it's outer Mongolia vs Inner Venice that's the problem!
Really enjoyed that - enjoyable game with NZ doing really well.
I do have one whinge though. Whats with the referee doing the NFL style public address announcements on the VAR ruling?
Just do the square, point at the spot and blow the whistle!

Do an awful lot more for ticket sales than a few FIFA officials saying please buy tickets.
Well done ladies - deserved that.

Ada Hegerberg was the poster girl a few years ago for Women’s’ Football globally and won the 2018 Ballon D’or Féminin. She has scored 40+goals for Norway. Rarely given a chance this evening.

I like their strip, nice ferns, not some French snail trail scribbles!

7 billion ppl on the planet, of which roughly 5bln know the rules. No need for this!
Yeah, BBC were really glowing. Although what Gabby "I host and know everything about every sport now" Logan knows about football could be written on a postage stamp.
