Utterly incredible stat.
0 - Spain's Mikel Oyarzabal is the first player on record since 1966 to play the first 30 minutes of a FIFA World Cup match without touching the ball once.
Peripheral.

Did he ever have a bad game? Arguably the most consistent player across AFC’s two seasons, even with his injury in 24/25. Absolute winner. Huge loss.

Good to catch up with Ryan Thomas in Tampa.
He is confident of being ready for opening @FIFAWorldCup game v Iran, despite recent hamstring injury. Vital for team.
Joe Bell also progressing well, will feature vs England

Absolutely brutal reality check for the All Whites. They dominated for large parts of the first half, but are 3-0 down in a game they had realistic hopes of winning against a similarly-ranked nation #AllWhites

Finals week one:
Friday: Hurricanes v Brumbies, Wellington
Saturday: Chiefs v Reds, Hamilton
Also Saturday (presumably): Crusaders v Blues in either Christchurch or Auckland, depending on tonight's result ... if Blues beat Chiefs, they'll host; if not Crusaders will.

‘Is this the best team we’ve ever had? Yes, it is, but we’re about to find out exactly where they sit. They're not just happy to be on the same pitch anymore.'

Fantastic to have @pineynz pen a wonderful column for us ahead of this weekend's A-League Grand Final.
It is a "remarkable story" worth celebrating, with a genuine impact of football in New Zealand.
