FIFA Round of 16
Read Time:1 Minute, 36 Second
Well blow me down, I would have loved to see New Zealand listed here. Here’s a country that is without argument the world’s powerhouse of rugby, football a distant cousin but yet they played some of the most impressive games in the world cup that I can only hope for more in time to come. I am sure that in the not too distant future many of their players are going to be snapped up – I say many of them and not single out their goal keeper, Mark Paston, whom was unbelieveable in his performance, but because these guys played as a team. And a glorious team. If they had just one win they would have been through – I think from a nation that are possibly the best rugby players in the world, they are now a nation that can be very proud of their team’s performance – definitely the best of the Tri–Nations (Australia, South Africa and NZ). Ranked amateurs and part-timers coming into the game two weeks ago they are now having the last laugh. My wish is to see them hit the quarter finals in 2014. 10/10 for rock steady performance, 10/10 for team work and 10/10 for credibility.
