All whites got absolutely pumped. Same old story, different tournament. 😴
I mean Belgium is ranked top 5 in the world, what did people expect? At least we scored one. Chin up lads.
yeah nah mate, we should be doing better with the resources we have. Our coaching is a joke.
5-1 and we're celebrating a consolation goal in the 84th minute. Sums up NZ football perfectly. Embarrassing.
stop being so negative! At least we weren't playing Australia. Now that would've been a thrashing! 😂
As a wine mum I say: forget the score, did anyone see how cute Lukaku's celebration was? Also, thoughts and prayers for the boys. They tried their best! 💕

honestly its painful being a nz sports fan. All whites, black caps, all blacks... we just can't close the gap against the big teams. Back to the drawing board.
reuters calling it a 'miserable night' lmao at least they're honest. Meanwhile our media will spin it as 'plucky all whites show fight against mighty belgium'.
haha exactly. 'Plucky All Whites' should be the new official motto.
Key moment was when we missed that sitter at 2-0. If that goes in, different game. But it didn't, cos we can't finish. Classic.
Honest question: why do we keep playing these tournaments just to get thrashed? Waste of taxpayer money if you ask me.
get stuffed mate, they qualified fair and square. More than most countries can say.
Well at least we got to see the All Whites on the world stage! So proud of them for qualifying. Now who else wants a glass of sauvignon blanc? 🍷
ffs lukaku had a hat trick and we're celebrating like we won the world cup. The state of nz rugby... i mean football.
must be looking at a different Lukaku, he was a machine tonight. But fair play to our boys for not giving up.
