That doesn’t add time if already in added time does it?

Jesus this is why I hate soccer, it's all about bullshit and acting. It's like the SA front row

Totally beat the keeper there

canefan

Got to keep playing. We bomb forward and there's no one in the box

sparky

NZ girls look tired now, but what an effort!

sparky

Into Wayne Barnes time.

canefan

John Eales time

sparky

Blow the whistle!

canefan

What a way to start the tournament

sparky

All over! What a win! History!

JK

Entertaining game and brilliant result.

That performance is exactly what was needed to get New Zealand right behind our girls, and this World Cup in general.

Dream start to the tournament!

No Quarter

What a boil over, incredible stuff, and in front of a massive home crowd - amazing experience.

MiketheSnow

Percival had a look on her face that said "I could have saved us a shit ton of stress and slotted that farken pen...."

KiwiMurph

Yes ladies! What a win.

And people want to tear down Eden Park? Lol gtfo.

sparky

Never in doubt.

Kirwan

That was a good game to watch, we looked the better team. Pressure?

Bovidae

Well deserved. The midfield were superb.

Stargazer

Awesome start of the WC for the Football Ferns! Proud of the girls!

NZ games are pretty well sold out it's outer Mongolia vs Inner Venice that's the problem!

MajorStokes

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.
