What were the expectations for the All Whites vs Iran match?
We're here with the flying Kiwis before we take on Iran. They can't wait. We can't wait. Let's go, Kiwis!
Who do you think is going to win today? Iran. You mean think? It's obviously going to be Iran. I don't think so. I think it's going to be New Zealand. Iran's going to take this, baby. You reckon? Oh, yeah. Oh, sorry. 1-1. Are you supporting New Zealand today? Definitely. Yeah. Why? Because I'm from New Zealand! Ah, here we go. 2-5! We've got the matching shirts. You're not from New Zealand. You're from the States. How come you've got the New Zealand shirt on?
They're the underdogs, so of course we're going to root for the underdogs. I'm supporting the Kiwis, the All Whites. Amazing. What do you know about our country? I know Carl Urban, and it's right next to Australia. We were going so well until you brought Australia into it.
I'm supporting good soccer, the goals. I love goals. Sounds like you're supporting New Zealand.
Thank you very much.
I think if you'd spoken to my wife this morning, she didn't know what outfit to wear. Being here, we're nervous energy, but we're super elated. This is crazy. You've spoken to the boy before the game? Yep, we actually had a little family do last night down in South Redondo and had a little surprise appearance. So I had a little guest appearance come in for about 20 minutes. That was awesome. We got to see him and give him a big hug and tell him to just go out and enjoy himself. Hopefully we can get a W. A draw I'd be happy with. Anything less than that, not happy. So we're going for it.
All right, let's go, Kiwis. All white. Let's go! You know how we got the business class upgrade?
Yeah. I got one last little treat for you that you're not going to believe. Okay. Watch this space.
The game kicks off in 30 minutes. We are at halfway. That is the All Whites behind us. I cannot believe we're here. This is one of the most incredible moments of my life. To think that it started in a podcast in my carriage seven years ago and this journey we're on is unreal. This is a moment for me and for us and after the next 30 minutes it's going to be a moment for the All Whites.
Amazing, amazing, amazing. I can't wait. Everything's in place, ready to go. All we need is the game to kick off. Let's go and enjoy it.
It's a rollercoaster of emotions. We started so well, we've had chances, but Iran have just equalised after 32 minutes and now we're back to square one. I'm not sure, I think I blacked out a little bit, I was just devo'd. Hopefully, it's been an open game, hopefully we can pinch another one and go back ahead.
Ten minutes to go, this game is still in the balance. It could go either way, it's end-to-end. There's chances at both ends. I don't know if I can take it, honestly. Voice is gone, heart is pumping. It's unbelievable scenes. It'll be one more late twist. I'm usually quite calm, but I've never been so nervous for a game in my life. Five minutes of additional time, 70,108. I reckon 65,000 do not want us to sneak one here. Can't sit down. Can't stand up.
Take 2-2.
I've lost my voice. My voice is gone. Too busy celebrating. If you'd told me at the start of the game, 2-2 with Iran, we would have taken it. What a rollercoaster of a match, but it's exciting.
Oh, one of the great days of football.
How did the atmosphere feel inside SoFi Stadium during the game?
One of the great days of my life. So happy to share it with you. Middle of the pitch. Elijah just scores two goals.
Going ballistic. So many awesome Kiwi football fans. So many awesome Kiwis here. Just a great, great day. Bring on Egypt, I say. Bring on Egypt. See you in Vancouver. Ambassadors is brought to you by the legends at Stark.
Matt Stark, Gareth Munro and the team are changing the face of Hamilton, a little bit like us, and are responsible for so much of the design-led commercial and residential developments in the city, turning older buildings into places people actually want to work, eat and hang out. If you see Matt or Gareth out and about, tell them they're good buggers and tell them we sent you.
