    Fuck that would have been an immense game to be at, all those fans, extra time. Hot weather.

    Namibia are the ones who has qualified for the past 2 or 3 WC's, but are now being knocked the fuck out by Madagascar.

    I know I know, actually spent about half an hour reading up about smaller nations on wikipedia and looking at a map after that, didn't actually realise how poor my geographical knowledge was.

    Group A not looking any easier, eh?

    NZ have the easiest draw by a mile!

    So many football stadiums. Ugh.

    Using the Walkers instead of Welford Road boo.

    The thinking behind it is so shitty as well. It's just been a case of totalling up capacities to say they can sell more tickets, and then they schedule things like Argentina v Tonga there that's got no chance of filling a big soccer ground. Just means there's going to be heaps of empty seats while rugby clubs get nothing.

    :mad2:

    See also using stadium mk over Franklin's Gardens, when the average attendance for Milton Keynes football matches there is 8500. Yet they expect to get 20,000 there for Samoa v Japan. Come on.

    TBF the WC in NZ pretty much sold out every game......
     
  13. Howe JHF Howe

    Rugby is the national sport in NZ, here football dominates.
     
  14. Rego RS Hutchinson

    I understand that but New Zealand has a much smaller population to begin with and given the location of England (Europe) there'll be a lot more international visitors going as well. A lot more.
     
  15. Starris ER Starris

    NZ have a pretty easy draw... shouldn't have the injury/tiredness woes we had last time either.

    Can't underestimate Argentina though!
     
  16. Rego RS Hutchinson

    Argentina will improve even more now that they're in the Rugby Championship. They'll also know us inside and out too.
     
  17. Starris ER Starris

    Yes... they are certainly an up and comer!
     
  18. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    Madahooha in or not?

    I'd go to Samoa vs Japan if it was my only game in my city.
    Samoa are entertainment plus and Japan have courage in spades.
