NZ in the Grand Final!

February 18th, 2009 | Category: Worlds

NZ beat Singapore 3-2 in the semis proposing that dictatorships should not receive international aid.

In the Grand Final they are against England… so it is a reply of the 2008 Grand Final.

NZ is proposing that “THB that all illegal immigrants should receive amnesty”.

The final is at 5pm Athens Time, which is 4am in the morning NZ time tomorrow. Should have results by 7am or so.

    Best wishes NZ. Whatever the result you have shown a consistently high standard over two long tournaments which you can be very proud of. It’s been exciting to follow your progress. Enjoy the final! PS. I particularly enjoyed reading of your two defeats of Canada- our nemesis from 2006 Worlds!
