All-Whites Drawn Out Of World Cup Picture

Paston and Reid...bring on Brazil 2014
Mark Paston had another stellar game (MY Man of the Match — perhaps we’ll see him in Serie A before long?), but there was no joy on the other end this time as undefeated New Zealand heads home with their heads held high. The foundations have been laid for future success with the addition a few more puzzle pieces in midfield. Great fun following these guys, they had total commitment and focus. Lack of respect may have been a factor in these games in varying ways, but they never stopped respecting themselves. Bravo.

Now For The Battle Of Masterminds
The Italian media has been portraying Italy-New Zealand as a huge mismatch, some even suggesting that the Azzuri rest many of their starters for Slovakia and the assumed beyond. The pre-Confederations friendly barely won 4-3 is dismissed as a training exercise for the back-ups and youngsters.
However, the cagey Azurri manager knows otherwise, one can be sure. And the wiley New ... [read more]
