- The Phoenix Brief – 28th October 2024
NZ IS YELLOW banner flys above 20k fans in Auckland
A statement is made with a flyover at the Auckland game yesterday. The first ever Kiwi Classico stage is set, with 1st v 2nd, at home here in Wellington. I’m picking Sky Stadium will have a decent away bay with that stunt, so get your tickets now—it’s sure to be a cracking game in NZ Football History!
The Weekend Past
A brilliant performance playing at midnight NZT from the Men, see’s the Nix leave Perth will all three points. Two defenders on the scoresheet, Tim Payne and Scott Wooten— both scoring headers, assisted by both Japanese imports; Kazuki Nagasawa and Hideki Ishige.
