O Danny Boy
NZ Soccer's - sorry, football - captain Danny Hay has got his knickers in a twist over the lack of recognition for our national side.
" I find it amazing that 95 per cent of talkback people will support rugby and bag the soccer team" he says. "In the past few weeks we have played ... (and) ... yet people in New Zealand still can't accept what we have achieved. It really angers me".
Well Danny, let me be the first to do so.
You have played three games over the past few weeks and lost all three. Congratulations. Well done, marvellous effort.
Soccer - sorry, football - has come such a long way in the last 25 years that since that glorious year in 1982 when we qualified for the World Cup finals we now can lose to Vanuatu. Outstanding stuff.
Your national administration is again in debt despite being bailed out 5 years ago by soccer, sorry football, clubs up and down the country.
Yep, your game is really achieving a lot. Please accept my apology on behalf of the NZ public and next time you lose to some third-rate European country I'll get on the phone to the mayor and organise a ticker-tape parade for when you return.

Hey Honcho, don't be so quick.
After all, we beat the side ranked 101st in the world last night (OK, they fielded an experimental team)
I expect comparisons with 1982 to be made at some stage over the next week.

Hypocrite.
Could just as easily be you whinging about orienteering not getting recognition.
