What a weekend of football!
The national anthem on Saturday was awesome - I wonder if any other sports crowd in NZ has got anywhere close to that sort of delivery. Great move to have the Words up - everyone around me was belting it out (as was I). Great game by the AWs making a mockery of FIFA rankings - whatever you think of those.
Thomas's shot almost pulled if off - totally beat the defence and keeper. Best chance of the game (apart from our wee whoopsie at the start).
The Peru team seemed to be getting more and more disturbed the longer the game went - and then when Wood came on they couldn't seem to touch him (they'll be seeing a lot more of him on Thursday.....). They might step it up in Lima but I'm sure we will too in Part 2 of our 180 minute game plan. The pressure is all on them. I wonder what surprises are in store...
