he's 36 but has a lot of stress at work,having to deal with fizzy lifting drink stealing cockneys & lazy oompa loompas would put years on anyone.

Do you work on an IT Helpdesk?

cheers

this match is the poorest quality we've seen yet.

Hamsik...shot on goal at least, but right at the keeper. Maybe he needs a skunk stripe in his hair to really max out his potential?

Well that was craptacular.

i was somewhat angry at myself for not turning that off...i was sure i'd miss some Weiss moment of magic if i did. I'm heading off to work now so maybe that tactical change will help the match.

cheers

weiss looked good though, crafted an opening for their forward who predictable did nothing of use with it.

You get the idea though that none of vlad's teammates know what he's going to do next. Seems like on slovakia's end, none of them know what each other will be doing. New Zealand seem to have some good team ethic, but executing is a bit beyond them. Though that chip into the box for their striker was nice, should have been a corner. Not the worst game I've seen, though not very entertaining by any stretch of the imagination. France Uruguay, for example, came with a lot more expectation and just as little action.

I HATE 5-3-2 (well, dislike intensely)

i just wish these weaker teams would fucking go for it.

they are not going to win the world cup so stop all this defensive shit and make a game of it!

They made that look too easy - dreadful defending

off the beeb
"Slovakia's Vladimir Weiss has probably been their best player so far, but he's struggling to create things on his own - they need a performance from Marek Hamsik here and they aren't getting one right now."

nice one vladdy

looked offside to me,unlucky Kiwi's

pretty much sums it up - Hamsik's been pap apart from that freekick.

Hamsik looks like a little prick,cant stand him already.

I don't think we have a better example of why there are too many teams at the finals. Neither of these teams has a snowflakes hope in hell of winning the world cup and yet here they are in the finals.

I hate to do this.. however :-

"This"

What a dramatic equaliser. It just had to be a header.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL KIWI´S

Should have kept Vlad on - some cross that as well - no easy games in this world cup - Aussies excepted

most dramatic thing to happen at the finals so far I'd say

FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done Kiwis. Vlad was the best player out there, Hamsik was awful.
