He's quite upset.

I'm actually looking forward to see portugal play.

I'm going to miss the start though

Haha, it'll be on later I hope. If not I'll be depressed.

There's no such thing as highlights or replays when one watches the world cup. Only grannies do that. :p

I shall, it's his own fault. Backing against New Zealand, what an idiot. They don't even have their own league but still, they have class from top to bottom. I hope you guys do well. (Because it'll be easier to knock you out if England get you.

)

Come to think of it, I dunno how it works. I imagine it's already predetermined, I.E the winner of group X will player winner of group Y.

Hehe I'm not sure how far we will go, but if we got into the quarters I'd be very happy. Thanks for supporting our small wee country!

Simply qualifying and being AT the world cup finals is a huge achievement for NZ. To have the group all square after the first round of games is an even bigger achievement. No-one would have been surprised if NZ had been the whipping boys in that group and so all they need to do to have a successful campaign at the finals is avoid embarrassing themselves out there and they have already done that. I dont see them getting anything from the other two games but they have already impressed with that point. They dont have flair, they dont have quality but they made up for it with organisation, discipline and perserverence. I was very impressed with them.

This game should be good. It'll be interesting to see if Ivory Coast can do any damage here.

I heard North Korea might run a 1-1-8 formation to avoid a rout? That would be hilarious!
