Decided last minute not to go to sleep and witnessed game of tournament

The points are shared at full-time

My minimum requirement for the All Whites was to score one goal. The big hope was one point. Mission achieved after Game 1.

This game... it's always the ones you least expect...

GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL

@AnnieisUndead NZ is listening....

NEW ZEALAND LOSE CHALLANGE

The Frighteners (1996) dir. Peter Jackson

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁. 𝗜𝘀. 𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩. Goal of the World Cup so far? Superb play from New Zealand sees them take an early lead against Iran — Elijah Just applied the finishing touch to a move brimming with quality. Particularly strong hold-up play from Chris Wood.

Goooooaaaal

In the old days you had horned up FIFA cameramen getting the international hotties on the screen, but the Yanks prefer their wrinkly celebrities. Game’s gone.

@CommodoreBlog Ah yeah cheers. Kelly LeBrock made quite an impression on 10y old me.

Iran v New Zealand is the World Cup’s only group-stage match where both countries are the sole wild home of a globally recognisable animal. Iran has the last Asiatic cheetahs. New Zealand has the kiwi. Stay tuned for more cutting-edge, geography-based World Cup analysis.

The NYT editors don't seem to like the deal. Won't stop Trump from running a victory lap though. nytimes.com/2026/06/15/opi…

Iran In Transition: Analysis for NZ Iran and New Zealand are very evenly matched but if New Zealand are as open in transition as they have been then Iran will punish them: > Deep-Block > Counter at Pace > Vertical Play & Clinical New Zealand looked better in a deep block v England but I reckon they will view this as a game to win and as a result could be surprisingly end to end.

@ArtGuyNZ I'm reaping the benefit of a two monitor setup and a desk in the corner hidden from other eyes.

Sorry, can't. About to watch Ecuador v Cote D'ivoire

@HughGriffin2 So close to the old Austrian folklore song en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_du_lieb…

Do you reckon when the Black Death was depopulating Europe some dying peasant guy was like "at least I don't have to go to work tomorrow ✌️💀"

They’ve confused Austria with Australia ffs

The USA is so celebrity obsessed........ it makes sports watching almost unbearable.

I watched every World Cup game so far. The hydration break can get in the bin. Worst thing to do on a regular basis.
