FIFA Women's World Cup

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

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.

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

Get in!!!!!!

What a goal

New Zealand 1 Norway 0.

Gooooaaaaallll

Champagne football

Brilliant opening goal!

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

VAR looking at a penalty.

Not given.

Norway lucky it’s only 1 at the minute.

Norway fluff a good chance.

Bit of frustration emerging for Norway

Really entertaining watch so far

Fantastic passage of play for the first goal

Much more lively in the second half. Good game.

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

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

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

Great move again from the Football Ferns.

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

42,000+ in Eden Park. A record for an Association Football game in NZ.

Only 25 secs left!

Oh stupid 45 min halves, round it to tens FFS

The post is a ferns fan

Norway hit the bar.

Norway will get more desperate and we suddenly look too passive

Awesome save by the Ferns’ keeper.

NZ very nervy now

To be expected

Crowd doing a great job of being the 12th NZ player here.

Norwegian Midfielder honours Eden Park and the greats who have played on the turf with a bit of a Rugby tackle there.

We need to keep attacking. Parking the bus won't suit us

Yellow is just a warning, right?

NZ 12 POTM for me
