New Zealand vs Vanuatu in Wellington. After NZ winning over Vanuatu the other day (2:1), this time it was on home soil (as a big part of the NZ players staring for the Phoenix anyway).
The crowed was an outstanding 2500 supporters:
left side of the stadium, right side of the stadium.
You could even spot a few single All White jerseys...not a huge support base, really.
The Game was good, 2:0 in the first half and another 3 goals in the second. Despite the low numbers of the supporters, they entertained the whole stadium, by coming up with new chants, (most of them slightly adopted from the Pheonix) but also by reacting on off field action like a lazy steward that was aim of the chants for the entire second half...)
My personal favorite was after New Zealand was referred to on the scoreboard as TAW (Thaiairways All Whites) the crowd sang: "We are Taiwan...", after somebody realized their mistake and changed the scoreboard to NZL in the second half, they sang: "We're not Taiwan anymore.."
Anyway a very good performance by the All Whites, and I'm sure in a form like that, they could actually have a chance to play in the world cup 2010.
Jen being silly!
