ITALY 1-1 NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand are fun.

This game was enjoyed over Sunday lunch at the cousin-in-laws.

Lovely spread and another lovely result for the All Whites, this time against the World Champions no less:



There's something very warming about New Zealand still having a fighting chance of getting through to the last 16. It's like having a tubby child who's good at rounders.

The unfortunate truth about football - and one that is especially true at World Cups - is that Italy will still probably make the semi-finals, while the Kiwis are likely to get their backsides handed to them on a plate by a rampant Paraguay.

But they'll always have Nelspruit...

THE STORY SO FAR

Match of the tournament: Spain 0-1 Switzerland

Player of the tournament: Diego Forlan (Uruguay)

Goal of the tournament: Tshabalala (South Africa v Mexico)
