Yeah, the ref did that in the first half too. 2 minutes of extra time given, 3 minutes extra played. Apparently the ref said to Ryan Nelsen that he would have given those two Aussies red cards if it wasn't a friendly. WTF? An illegal tackle is an illegal tackle.

Oh man that was awful, not because of how we played, we played pretty well, but the Aussies should have gotten at least 2 red cards for disgusting tackles. And winning on the last kick is just tin arse anyways LOL.

Hell yeah JJ! It was freakin fantastic! I watched the last 20 minutes and it was a nail biter, then Serbian fans started invading the pitch and throwing things on to the pitch, and their captain had to appeal to them over the PA system to be calm so the game could finish! A brilliant result for NZ, and like you said will surely give us a confidence boost going in to our next friendly match and the WC.

NZ beat Serbia in a pre - World Cup friendly match. 1-0. This is probably the best result NZ have ever had in our footballing history. Serbia have a lot of players from some of the top European teams and cruised through their qualifying group. They are ranked 15 in the world, NZ are ranked 78. Huge confidence builder for our guys before the tournament starts. Edited at: Saturday, May 29, 2010 8:02:08 PM
