Can't believe I missed this last night. Accursed real life and its responsibilities.

Two players fighting for their starting XI spots in Brazil sank the World Cup dreams of a nation that, in my mind, deserved their first appearance.

Wow. Just, wow. I think this is the guiltiest I've ever felt about a United States win.

You just don't get Footy really do you ?

The Equivalent for TheFAEMNT to last night would be to be facing Scotland, and we'd Trounce them, sing songs regarding their heritage, poor fashion sense and cooking practices & then our cops would give them a shoeing.

If it had been Mexico who we had knocked out, we'd have been dancing and singing and fornicating wildly. But it was Panama, and it put Mexico in the playoff.

It was a somber moment. The Panama players collapsed in tears. It was rather hard to watch.

you could say panama got lucky with the draw having to play the hardest team at home when they were already through and resting their best players. Suppose they have themselves to blame

Indeed, Panama only have themselves to blame. You have to feel sorry for the way they went out, squandering a late lead at home, but you can't feel sorry for them going out.
 
Re the All Whites thing, it's just a stupid name thing they do for all the teams over here: Cricket team called the Black Caps, Hockey team the Black Sticks, Badminton team the Black Cocks (well, they should be called that).

Love seeing people not rate our chances, that's when NZ play their best footy, we'll be everyone's second favourite team once again I'm sure.

Good way of describing it.

Just looking at their record, they should have really picked up a home win against Jamaica and another point on the road if they wanted to control their situation.

I guess my sympathy comes from them never having been to the World Cup and having their best squad in many, many cycles. It's a Cinderella story that I hoped would have had a happier ending.

Even if it would've meant getting bounced in the group stage, I think it's something that Panamanian fans would've remembered for a long time.

You missed out the Tall Blacks & The Gal Blacks.
