Started at morning withlight breakfast, then went and watched Australia play Israel 9am. Australia played very well and looked sharp beating Israel 9-2. Then the team went for a swim at the hotel pool and then had lunch. After a rest we headed to the stadium around 4pm to get ready for our game vs Uruguay.

The game started at pace with Uruguay playing a very tight man on man game plan. NZ looked sharp also taking more options and a more attacking defence. Uruguay scored three un answered goals in the first half although NZ was still in it. The second half started with Mark Turner scoring with in 7 seconds from a Uruguay hit off.

Then Uruguay stepped up there pace and scored another three goals, Alley Langridge took a powerful shot with 4mins remaining with a slight deflection hit a Uruguay player in the face causing majoe injury, the game was stopped for around 15minutes while doctors checked him out. The game ended with the NZ team felling very disapointed with the result.

Australia played Austria tonight at 8pm and started strong although finding a simular result as NZ going down 10 - 0, also loosing Glenn Cox to a red card.

NZ play Australia tomorrow at 12 noon. Bring it on.....
