Is Carole breathing?

Oops!

IT's 4:00 a.m., her time.

She'll wake up to some good news.

[Kirsten]

Wow, Italy - New Zealand 1-1, amazing!!!

Carole, is your country celebrating?


But what a strange World Cup this is! So many of the top teams are having such a rough time!

[carole]

Is our country celebrating?hmm is the pope Catholic?

Oh my gosh i can hardly believe this result, we sure have upset the applecart over there, even our prime minister was there to watch the game and is estatic.

We are a team to be watched for sure, thanks for the news, i did only hear on the telly this morning, i kinda wish i had watched the game, not a big sports fan, but this is big in anyones books.

GO KIWIS.

and GOOD LUCK to everyone on PT ,hoping their countries do well, except if they are playing against us of course lol.

Carole, I wish you had seen it, it was awesome, especially when NZ gained the 1-0 lead! I was like "wow, if they're going to defeat Italy, that would be one stunning moment of the tournament, a historical event". But even a draw is great, I think.

we sure have upset the applecart over there, even our prime minister was there to watch the game and is estatic.

This is what I love about events like the World Cup, that it's touching so many people world-wide.

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 .

Well, in 2006, Germany beat Argentina in the quarter final, so it's possible!

No problem , it was not a team, they even don't know the national anthem and it seems they forgot what wearing the blue shirt means. It's a pity, also for Ireland which should have been qualified instead of France. Now we can enjoy watching the games from better countries, with players who are happy to be here

[Kirsten]

Tonight, it's Germany vs. Ghana, and my entire country is nervous and worried, especially because of the referee. Some of the referees' decisions were more than odd in this tournament, and people here fear that the FIFA wants to keep at least one African team in the World Cup - which would be Ghana. And that would mean Germany's out. I hope our team is strong enough to deal with this situation.
