Not a bad game, although it seemed New Zealand got "tired" on the second half. Certainly scoring a goal in the last seconds of a three minute extension made things all interesting.

I doubt Reid got too worried about getting a yellow card for celebrating. What kind of world is this?

I'm just happy that we're doing better than the Aussies - for me that puts the All Whites as sportsmen of the year!

It was a fantastic game! A few shaky moments, but we have already achieved more than most of the critics believed we could. 78th vs 34th and it came out in a draw, not a bad effort.. I imagine the Slovakian's got a right bollocking in the lockers after that one Laughing

What about the guy that placed $40,000 on slovakia to win in the 87th minute!! oh my, youd be slightly upset! It was paying $1.02.. so yes he would have got a whopping $800 out of it.. so $40,800 return.

Had he placed it on a draw.. $4.4 millon! (draw was going for $11)

Err.. 40,000 x 11 = 440,000

I'd have thought bets on any game would close before the game started?
