I have no ties to the New Zealand or Slovakia. However, I found myself cheering when "the kiwi's" scored the match-tying goal two minutes into stoppage time to earn a draw with Slovakia.
Winston Reid scored on a header and I actually gave a fist pump. Weird.
These guys all have pretty cool names out there - Winston Reid, Rory Fallon, Vladimir Weiss. Not many Robert's or Mike's.
Good for the little hairy fruits.
