Kiwi – (n) New Zealander, Kiwi (a native or inhabitant of New Zealand)
Winston hero may be in trouble with his coach for his yellow card celebration but in New Zealand tonight, he is a hero. He scored a late goal (90th minute)to tie the soccer match between New Zealand and Slovakia. “It probably was the most important goal of my life,” Reid said Tuesday after scoring in second-half injury time to lift New Zealand into a 1-1 draw with Slovakia in Group F. “I didn’t see the ball until late. I knew that if I got it on-target and didn’t hit it too hard, I could just guide it in.” In my opinion this celebration wasn’t the smartest thing he could have done because if he gets another one in the future he is going to miss a game in this world cup. Considering is a defensive style player, that does not bode well for the lack of depth for the Kiwi’s. This makes them all tied up in Group F standings. Who knows what will happen for the Kiwi’s as they move forward in the future.
