All over! What a win! History!

Entertaining game and brilliant result.

That performance is exactly what was needed to get New Zealand right behind our girls, and this World Cup in general.

Dream start to the tournament!

Percival had a look on her face that said "I could have saved us a shit ton of stress and slotted that farken pen...."

[KiwiMurph]

Yes ladies! What a win.

And people want to tear down Eden Park? Lol gtfo.

[sparky]

Never in doubt.

[Kirwan]

That was a good game to watch, we looked the better team. Pressure?

[Bovidae]

Well deserved. The midfield were superb.

[Stargazer]

Awesome start of the WC for the Football Ferns! Proud of the girls!

Boom - that will get a few more bums on seats in the NZ games.
Well done Football Ferns!

Really enjoyed that - enjoyable game with NZ doing really well.

I do have one whinge though. Whats with the referee doing the NFL style public address announcements on the VAR ruling?

Just do the square, point at the spot and blow the whistle!

Do an awful lot more for ticket sales than a few FIFA officials saying please buy tickets.

Well done ladies - deserved that.

Apparently it's the rules. The comms said so

New innovation by FIFA and a bizarre one.

Alex Scott on the BBC ‘What is this, the hunger games?’

BBC panel really impressed by the Soccer Ferns.
