    0-0 at halftime. Peru look classy on the ball. NZ holding their own.

    0-0 final score. Wood came on for final 10 minutes and forced a save with first touch of the ball - a free kick. Don't really fancy kiwi chances on Thiursday morning in Peru. Great atmosphere in Wellington. Biggest crowd ever to watch a football match in NZ - over 37,000 with the additional seating.

    Pubs were rammed in Auckland. I'd underestimated the interest in it.

    Decent result for New Zealand all things considered. Peru still favourites but the Kiwis will be glad they're still in the tie after the first game.

    So Saturday has arrived and my train tickets for Shrewsbury are in my pocket.
    But instead of ten of us traveling for what should have been a good Day out I am stuck at home.
    To make matters worse Mrs.Blackpool has insisted that we take the grandkids to the cinema to watch Paddington bear.

    I fu@$$g hate international breaks.

    Agree. A goal for Peru would have totally killed the tie. As it is the All Whites still have a (slim) chance of progressing to the WC Finals.

    I watched it on a live stream and thought it was a decent game despite the 0-0 scoreline.

    Now for Denmark to do the business later and its been a good weekend.

    He was carrying a slight injury I believe (hamstring).

    Ivory Coast in big trouble. 0-2 down at home to Morocco who only need a draw.

    Morocco through, Ivory Coast out.

    Tunisia through by the skin of their teeth (0-0 home draw with Libya), Congo out (did what they needed to do, 3-1 win).

    DR Congo gave up a 2-0 lead on Tunisia back in September by conceding twice in two minutes near the end of the game.

    If they'd held that lead, they'd be at the World Cup.

    0-0 between Ireland and Denmark. Who will be happier with that? Denmark IMO. An away goal in the next leg puts them at a big advantage.

    I agree. Ireland offered next to nothing tonight and Denmark won’t play that badly again.

    Another 0-0 and pens is the only way I see Ireland getting through.

    Apart from Croatia smashing Greece these play offs are really tense, understandably no side wants to give anything away.

    NZ 0 Peru 0
    Honduras 0 Australia 0
    Denmark 0 Ireland 0
    NI 0 Switzerland 1
    Sweden 1 Italy 0

    Hopefully the 2nd legs are a bit more exciting.

    Do away goals count extra if tie is level? I hate that rule

    I think Ireland, they didn't appear to even want to score a goal last night - it was all about protecting the 0 and turning it into, effectively, a one leg play-off in front of a packed Aviva Stadium in Dublin. They've achieved that but I cannot see them beating the Danes unless something dramatic changes between now and the second leg.

    Generally, i think its a very good rule - brought in in the early days of the 2 legged European cup games to try to entice away sides (mostly Italian) out of their own half and not parking the bus looking for a 0-0. It does make for a more entertaining game normally.
