[Big Sam]

Has Rojas been getting any gametime at Stuttgart?

 

[shiznit]

Don't think so... I heard he scored a goal on debut then got hurt.

I haven't heard since then...

 

[Mong]

You can probs take Reid out now. Seems he has an ankle injury.

 

[shiznit]

The All Whites arrive in Mexico...

I just saw some footage on TV here in NZ of Marco Rojas gets absolutely mobbed by the Mexican media and needed 7-8 policeman to escort him out of the airport... Lol

The Mexican media seem to have taken a massive shine to him because he speaks Spanish... And that stupid "Kiwi Messi" tag he's been saddled with by Melbourne Victory fans.... Now the Mexicans think he's some sort of Messi clone...

I'll try and find some video of him going through the airport... It's bananas...

 

[shiznit]

Here's a video....

[Sir Biffo]

From that footage he didn't really need all those coppers, there was about 6-7 photographers! A bit over the top, maybe a quiet day at the airport.

 

[shiznit]

Yeah that video wasn't too bad... The reports said there were like 30 journos and cameramen all around him and they nearly knocked him over.

So the police had to intervene....

I'd hate to see what they would be like if the REAL messi turned up....

 

[Latino87]

Mexico up 1-0, from the 1st 25mins that I saw they could've been up by a few more, can see them scoring at least 2 more.

 

[Misanthrope]

After NZ lost 5-1 to Mexico and Jordan lost 5-0 to Uruguay, I think it's safe to say we know which two nations will be joining those already qualified...

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

NZ :lol:

 

[shiznit]

Wow... We were gang raped in front of 100k Mexicans...

It's almost like an AFL grand final...

 

[Misanthrope]

Or an Indian bus.

 

[shiznit]

Or an Indian bus.

There's Mexicans in India??

 

[Misanthrope]

There's Mexicans in India??

Similar skin tones. Lots of spicy food. Work for very little.

 

[Latino87]

How bad was the NZ defence in this game.

 

[shiznit]

How bad was the NZ defence in this game.

The sad part is that they were actually playing defensive.... :lol:

 

[Misanthrope]

The sad part is that they were actually playing defensive.... :lol:

The Holger approach to winning games.

 

[Latino87]

The sad part is that they were actually playing defensive.... :lol:

How much of a difference would it have been if Reid played?
