@andrewvoerman@ByPhillipRollo@FIFAWorldCup AW defensive frailties laid bare. 3rd goal we appeared to have completely lost our right back MIA. May still be missing? Iran and Egypt presumably far better equipped to cope with the heat stress too. No overconfidence at least.
@pineynz Great goals. Rufer's was 1st class. Those AWs really earned their spot among 24 teams. I think Oceania full place is undeserved, a 1/2 spot &playoff fairer. When you have Italy missing out recently you have to think about quality versus inclusiveness and globalisation.
@YoungHeartHM And pre Phoenix well known at Waitakere Utd and Auckland City so a very good local profile on Auckland. Like CR7 so fast that even if they lose a bit of speed with age they are still quick.
@Charteddaily@Kleisthenes2 Overseas full fee paying students want to get a good grade and the universities want to get ongoing overseas full fee paying students. Mmm. Possible causation rather than correlation. Also hasn't an A+ dropped from 95% to 90% for exam grades?
@YoungHeartHM Great! So good it is hard to believe we actually did it in New Zealand! Now rather than reinventing the wheel lets just stretch it to 60,000 and put one on the Auckland waterfront. Fully funded by selling off $2B Eden Park that currently runs at a loss and needs grants to run
@ScifactKiwi@visacashapprb Alex Issognis drew the plans for the original mini on a napkin. Didn't throw it out out and changed the face of motoring. When he retired they gave him the world's largest Meccano set.
@SleepRebellion@RealAlexJones Elon also needs China for its rate earth minerals via BYD made blade Batteries for his Teslas. Trumps anti China stance and tariff regime would make life difficult for Elon. Will be interesting to see the trade offs.
@AucklandCity_FC If sides don't man mark Tade they do so at their peril. He is in the form of his life. United gave him the left hand side of the pitch in the first half. He is striking the ball so cleanly.
@AucklandCity_FC@PhototekNZ I still remember the first game at Kiwitea St after his passing. An empty number 14 jersey on the kick off spot for an impeccably observed minute's silence. Then Ak City open the scoring and I look to the scoreboard...14 minutes. Goosebumps.
@gwynncompton Yep. He crashed when Gasly got 4th. Like Haydon Patton. Good, just not good enough. Needs to be closer to his teammate. Massive result required now to save his seat. I really thought he had this, really wanted him to succeed too.
