[I'm not really here]

1-0

Only Wellington I think. (Only pro club). Auckland play in the Northern league, I saw them at Napier in 2018. Absolute woeful

A new Auckland team is due to join the A League next season and there was a now-defunct team: New Zealand Knights based in Auckland.

Australia defected from the Oceana Confederation to join Asia. I would assume that other New Zealand teams are amateur or part-time.

If Ittihad lose this, it’d make our job easier.

Would the Saudi’s bother turning up to watch other sides?

Pen saved…justice. That was like the Grealish pen what is he meant to do?

Benzema just missed a penalty given by var. Interestingly the ref was miked up to explain the decision to the crowd.

He made the right decision to start with.It seems that if a ref goes to the screen they always change their mind…they don’t have too.

It was from much further away and his arm was fully outstretched.

I don’t like seeing them given as penalties, but it was more of one than the Grealish one, imho.
