Watched last nights game on Prime via Skygo which was great to be able to do.

I have a 7 year old daughter that plays football so it was good to get her watching the NZ Vs Denmark game, and she got right into it

Was a great game and NZ dominated most of the game and deserved the win.

Going to the Argentina vs Italy game on night which should be good.

I would point out that buying tickets is a bit of an arduous process with they requiring a lot more information/details than other providers and forcing you to have to download their app. i wonder if this is contributing to the light ticket sales?

Oops! You mean Norway 😀

New Zealand absolutely deserved the win. It was no fluke!

Yes it was an awesome game! The Football Ferns played with cohesion, finding space, linking up together, great through balls. Deserved at least another goal. I think we just lack a yard of pace upfront that might see us struggle to score more goals against other top teams. Sure it's slower than top men's games but actually that allows you to see the flow of the game in a different way.

You have to download and set up an app and your tickets are then put into this app. You can 100% bet my mum and dad aren't attending any games due to this. Modern world etc etc but the second my dad tries to buy a ticket and is told to get an app that laptop screen will be closed.

Side note - we went to the game and for the first time ever we all had to put our arms out and were wanded by security. Plus my medicine bag had to be fully opened and every device and syringe etc looked at. Not sure if related to the Auckland waterfront incident that day or if this is the new state of play.

The processes are inline with what FIFA sets - they tend to own the end-to-end product including the stadiums for the duration of the tournament - they even bring their own lawn mowing equipment for stadiums and training facilities. Its something that kiwi's are not used to as we don't have large sporting bodies set licensed tournaments in this part of the globe such as UEFA, FIFA, Olympics etc

I understand FIFA is also behind the policy that no door sales are allowed for any of the WC games; does anyone know the rationale for this? I'm assuming this will also not help with ticket sales.

I was interested to see a replay of the whole movement behind the goal. It started from a goal kick where the goalie looked like taking the kick but a defender took it instead, defender kicked across the field, then up the wing, wing ran it up, wing outpaced the defender creating enough space to cross to the striker - who tapped it in. Beautiful in its simplicity and also a little bit sly.

Well done!

Yes that was a really beautifully constructed goal, only a couple of players and a few touches end to end!

Agree, well done to the Football Ferns, and the goal was spectacular! If the penalty had been a couple of cms lower, that would have been a stunner too.

What surprised me the most was the amount of added time at 90 minutes....it was an extra 9! Through the play, extra time ended up being 10.5 minutes!

Even in the Australia v Ireland game, at the end of the first half there were 6 additional minutes

The strike from the winger in the 2nd half was great too!
Only denied by the keeper who made a great save.

The added time wasn't much of a surprise to me - I've seen this happen at the last 2x FIFA tournaments (Mens World Cup and U19) so I always try to assume the added time will be long and just be pleasantly surprised if its shorter.

I know in Club Competitions its atleast half of what it was last night.

A friend of mine in the US is watching some of the shows and he said it's available in 4K on Youtube TV

Sky is the host broadcaster so are they using 4K cameras or is the feed being upscaled to 4K over in the US?

Has anyone come across a list of the games that Stuff is streaming?

I’ve read they’ll stream 26 games but I can’t find an actual account of which games this includes nor even a clear indication as to which will be the next game streamed. I went to the hassle of checking Sky Go, but it doesn’t even seem like they’ll provide the same games free via that platform, only Stuff, so no indication there either.

No idea - knowing FIFA they would want to have 4K camera equipment for their pinnacle event even if they have to bring it in.

Sky is not the Host Broadcaster. They only hold local broadcast rights.
Host Broadcast Services (HBS.tv) is doing it using 4k cameras.

If you can't laugh at yourself then you probably shouldn't laugh at others.
