Probably quicker getting back to New Zealand from Costa Rica than it will be this weekend getting out of Cardiff.Quote:

10 minutes away from penalties.....thank the Lord for that deflection, could you imagine a penalty shoot out a week ago yesterday?
Australia change keepers in the 120th min.
And the replacement is dancing around like a muppet. I think it’s puts himself at a disadvantage.Quote:

Surprised how many fans there from both countries.
Seems like extremely unsporting behaviour to me... was really wanting to see them lose that just for that.Quote:

I also thought it was quite unsporting. Their tactic was basically to win by putting the Peruvians off. I'd hate to see Wales do something like that.Quote:

Would rather see the Aussies through than Peru. Don't a lot of the Oz football team play their main football in Europe, thereby making it easier for us to have a dossier on their players, and for some in the Welsh team to have come up against those in the their squad on match days? I doubt there are many of the Peru squad playing their main football in say the Bundesliga or la Liga etc.Quote:

I reckon the vast majority of Peruvians play league football in Peru.Quote:

there are 33 million Peruvians, so their league system would have to be enormous for that to be trueQuote:
