Get pumped for Wellington Phoenix

Terry Henry has been talking New Zealand football up all year and for those who want more go visit the best fan site in the country, make that both countries.

90,000 Mexicans packed into the Rose Bowl, LA, USA to watch New Zealand lose 2-0 to Mexico yesterday.

And after that experience the Wellington Phoenix contingent will come home to a sell-out 34,500 crowd in the Ring of Fire as they take on the Jets for a place in the A-League last three.

They even got a big screen for the those that missed out. What is going on over there!

Here's hoping we get another penalty shoot-out and a classic recall from Piney and Chotey
Football in New Zealand never looked, or sounded so good did it?

And over in New Zealand...

Where Rugby is the King......

Reports saying that Wellington Phoenix have sold 25,000 tickets for the semi against the Jets which is still some ten days away.

If true, wonder how many fans will come and watch the All Whites take on the Aussies in the last game in Australia before the World Cup. Who knows how many Kiwi's will travel from Sydney, or NZ.

After all without the All Black fans the Bledisloe would rarely sell out in Australia would it?

And Wellington S14 Rugby team pulled in 17,000 for it's first game of the season, the next day the Nix pulled in 24,000 in the same stadium. Yep for football in NZ!

Interesting times to be a sports fan in New Zealand...watch that Bin Hammam kick em out of the A-League...bet Dimetriou is talking to Hammam as we speak.....paranoid..me...never!
