Excellent crowd.

Can’t wait

This may put it in to perspective for the non believers 😉

More competitive opening 20 than I was expecting. Good stuff.

Great start so far by NZ.

Donsteppa

Lots of good positions and half chances. Still 0-0.

Looks like we have the Norwegians rattled a bit

Bovidae

Wilkinson's heavy touch has let her down a couple of times. NZ aren't out of the game.

No Quarter

Fantastic first half, we finished stronger!

A great first half by the Football Ferns. Really frustrating Norway and getting big support from the crowd.

Norway defence looks slow. Could be a chance if NZ can get a fast runner on the end of a straight, long ball.

Chris B.

That's very good from the Ferns - I was mainly hoping we wouldn't concede in the first five minutes, but we've dominated that half.

Need one or two more who are willing to pull the trigger and shoot - we seem to be looking for a few extra touches.

Good start to the tournament

A home win would be massive

Norway are a good side and move the ball well. It would be a massive win.

Norways last few results:
3-3 draw with Sweden. Sweden ranked #3
4-2 loss to Spain. Spain ranked #6
0-0 draw with France. France ranked #5

Brilliant opening goal!

Nearly a second. Norway being run ragged at the moment.

VAR looking at a penalty.

Norway lucky it’s only 1 at the minute.

Norway fluff a good chance.

Bit of frustration emerging for Norway

JK

Really entertaining watch so far

MiketheSnow

Fantastic passage of play for the first goal

sparky

Much more lively in the second half. Good game.

sparky

Huge performance from the Football Ferns so far. Really impressed.

booboo

Well, they've already exceeded my expectations regardless of the next 20 minutes.

I don't know much about soccer, but pure time in half and shots at (general direction) of goal Ferns look well on top

canefan

We are making some great runs and the through passing has been very good

sparky

Great move again from the Football Ferns.

sparky

Execution much better from NZ of the two teams so far, but Norway’s athleticism makes them dangerous.

Norway are 12th in the world. We are 26th
