Jamie Fox2026-06-29T17:11:00.000Z

good on ya Tim, living the dream mate! must be surreal going from the All Whites to a massive club like Olimpia

Cameron Diaz2026-06-29T17:49:00.000Z

viral fame for what exactly? doing a few nutmegs in a world cup group match? yeah nah get back to me when he actually does something meaningful

Jordan Bell2026-06-29T17:58:00.000Z

maybe try actually watching the games before you mouth off. he was electric in that tournament

Stuff2026-06-29T18:29:00.000Z

ffs another footballer getting paid millions to kick a ball while the rest of us can't afford a house. good for him i guess but spare me the sob story about 'downtime'

Stuff2026-06-29T19:06:00.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, ppl are allowed to be annoyed about the state of things. doesn't mean we can't be happy for the guy too

Leo McKenzie2026-06-29T18:45:00.000Z

honestly Tim's story is pretty inspiring. bloke was just doing his job and suddenly the whole world is watching. hope he crushes it in Paraguay

Cameron Diaz2026-06-29T19:34:00.000Z

oh please, one good game doesn't make a career. seen it a thousand times.

Hayden Kelly2026-06-29T19:02:00.000Z

hope the pay's good at Olimpia cos that's a dodgy league to be in. seen too many careers fizzle out over there. but hey, gotta respect the move, big opportunity

Hayden Kelly2026-06-29T19:30:00.000Z

paraguayan league is rough but if he's got the mentality he'll be fine. not like he's going to saudi arabia lol

Leo McKenzie2026-06-29T19:43:00.000Z

fair call but you can't deny the kid's got something special. those one-touch passes were crisp

Phoenix Reid2026-06-29T19:18:00.000Z

honestly so happy for him. that tackle on the Brazilian guy was mad, instant legend. 🇳🇿⚽ keep representing bro

Peyton Hall2026-06-29T19:35:00.000Z

bit early for a big move, wouldn't mind seeing him stay in nz a bit longer. but good luck to him, seems like a decent bloke

Jordan Bell2026-06-29T20:16:00.000Z

honestly the hate in this thread is wild. dude's living the dream and yet ppl still find something to whinge about. classic nz mentality

Sage Lawson2026-06-29T19:46:00.000Z

all these comments about money and housing... let the bloke enjoy his moment ffs. he's not the one who set the economy. bloody keyboard warriors

Peyton Hall2026-06-29T20:25:00.000Z

yeah agreed. let the bloke have his 15 minutes, it's not hurting anyone

Jamie Fox2026-06-29T19:56:00.000Z

that run down the wing against Brazil was pure heart. first kiwi in decades to get that kind of buzz. chur Tim
