Absolutely embarrassing. All that hype and we go out like that. 'Playing with pride' yeah nah we played like we just met in the carpark.
down mate, they're amateurs vs full time pros. Proud of the fight.
Can we please talk about how Elijah Just was the only one actually trying? Scored a banger and the rest just stood there watching Belgium play. Ffs
Facts. Just looked like he cared. Rest were shells.
Told ya we needed more games against quality sides. You can't park the bus and hope for a lucky break, world class teams will pick ya apart.
5-1. That's not unlucky, that's a lesson. Players aren't good enough at this level. Simple as.

Gutted for the lads. They gave it a crack, Belgium are just class. Bright future for the young ones, we'll be back. 👏
nah get stuffed. We had chances and choked under pressure. That's not class that's bottling.
Paid rugby players millions and our best footy team gets pumped by Belgium after some pub league goals. Embarrassing country tbh
the phone down John Key. We're a football country too if we actually invested.
Cope. We got schooled by a better team. Nothing embarrassing about admitting they're better.
I stayed up til midnight to watch this? Jokes on me. Still proud of the All Whites, we actually competed first half, just fell apart second half. Classic
Article says 'out of the World Cup' like we were ever in it. 7 mins of magic vs Norway doesn't make a WC campaign, sorry.
defence was a turnstile ffs
Why do we always have to play the possession game when we're losing? Just lump it up to Wood or get Just in behind, so frustrating
Doesn't matter how you look, a loss is a loss. At least we scored? lol
