Kirsten it is HUGE here what has happened, even the British media called us the no-hopers,a real historic event in sport for sure, i do wish i had seen it, i have seen the replays,but it is not quite the same, i hope my son watched it live as he is such a sports fan, and he would have enjoyed it so much.

We just have to keep our fingers crossed we can do it again, with Paraquay (sp), i hear they are a pretty strong team, but then look at Italy, the champs,were never expecting us lil kiwis to do so well.

Our joy might only be short-lived, but it is a real nice twist in the events isn't it?

Yes Kirsten i agree, it is neat to see this sport event touching so many worldwide, i wish i had put a bet on at the Tab , i could have made a nice little nest egg, lol, oh well not much of a gambler .
