Well I was wrong. We made it through to the world cup courtesy of a quite lethargic Peru. They were so confident of winning they had already called a public holiday to celebrate.
I was expecting to lose two or three nil because we had a slow defence which made mistakes and had few people capable of scoring. Although we had 'some' chances we really di not look like scoring. Yes Peru hit the post but they really did not look like scoring either. They were an old team.
The Arnieroos were ready for a penalty shoot out. We had proven penalty takers whilst Reu replaced some of theirs. The changing of goalkeepers was interesting. Peru would not have though the third string GK would be in the penalty shoot out. Since it worked we can say it was a brilliant move.
Our opponents in the world cup are France, Tunisia and Denmark. Fancy playing France and Denmark in successive world cups. I really cannot see us getting a point. We have little cattle and you need cclass to score in the world cup.
Still we are there but the games will be played at a slow pace because it is hot outside!
