So do Aussies and Kiwis generally hold a fond sporting affinity and root for each other as long as you're not in direct competition, or is it more "screw those bastards."
I dunno, I'm not typical. I never really supported the men's national team unless the Leeds players were playing (Viduka and Kewell until he stabbed us in the back). For some reason I find the Matildas much more relatable.

I have nothing against New Zealand sporting teams. I really like New Zealand as well. It's always felt like the Canada to Australia's United States in the sense that they seem to have done a better job of integrating with their native populations, seem to be well educated and forward thinking.

Wasn’t Canada worse with their native population in terms of more recent years?
 
First match I'll miss because of GD wedding season.
Since when has wedding season been decided by Goal Differential??? Is that similar to an arranged marriage?

You're kidding, right? Like you've never heard of Grateful Dead wedding season?

I’ve heard of it, I just thought it was a folk story old grandmothers tell little children to scare them at night.
 
Maxi is now in danger of a suspension with one more card.
Ring is in line for a reduction with a clean sheet this match.

Als0, starting with the win @ DCU on 4/21 we are 5-0-3. That's 18 of a possible 24 points over the last 2 months. Or 2.25 ppg, with a GD of +10. Not too shabby. We also threw in a USOC win last week for good measure.

If someone were to put money on Maxi being the one to get the first suspension due to yellow card accumulation, people think that individual would be crazy. How has picked up so many yellows?

What's really nuts is he went the first 7 matches w/o picking up a card. Also, Chapman has given him 2.
 
Maxi probably has been given more yellows than he has drawn, which is a new level of ridiculousness, even for PRO.
I'd also like to see contact to Maxi's head and face called as it is with other, taller players.

Yeah, it kinda sucks for opposing players to have to work around it when their arms may more naturally be around Maxi's head than other, average height players, but is sure as hell ain't fair to Maxi or other players his height to not have those protections that other players are provided.
 
Maxi, like Shaq, is uniquely refereed and I’m not sure the refs are wrong about it.
