NZ goes down 8-1 to Austria in the opening game.

After the opening ceremony of nearly 2 hours NZ started off strong with the first 13 minutes 0-0 and NZ having more chances than Austria. Then came the attack from Austria with a huge crowd behind them beating drums and screaming. The half time score ended with 5-0 then NZ scored in the first 4 minutes starting a come back that unfortunately did not amount to any thing.

The team are still in good spirit as we know we could have played a lot better, unfortunately it was not our night. But tomorrow is a different day and we play Uraguay at 5pm so this will need to be the game we start and finish strong.

The second game was played between Egypt and India. Egypt won this game with a convincing win 17-1.
