Are we just a bunch of losers?

Question

Why can't NZers accept the fact we are out of the running and move on. I will always be a staunch supporter of anything Kiwi but some loser (lol) decided to sell the All Blacks on TradeMe. Ok my beloved Holden team lost Bathurst and that was the final kick in the pants for an already suckful sunday but h**l I woke this morning and I am still thankful for being able to breathe another day.

So I ask you are we really a bunch of bad losers? Do we not have any more pride left? Or did the French put it to bed like the quarterfinals?

Answer 1

if rugby is our god then yes we are. it may take a while, but we will realise soon that life goes on.

Answer 2

we're not losers!

we'll get the cup in 2011!! (well we better!) lol

But im hoping SOuth Africa will win the RWC!!

since the AB's are out, im supporting SA! lol

Answer 3

Seems like we are at RWC since 1987!  

As you say no one died and the sun will come up tomorrow but the lose in that manner was pretty heart breaking for a lot of NZers.  We have listened for the last 2-3 years about the planning and preparation going into this All Black RWC 2007 campaign and put up with players being rested and rotated from teams and competitions.  We (the AB's) have basically been geared for success at this tournament and therefore so have the expectations of the supporters.  To then lose at the first significant hurdle on the way to the ultimate goal has caused some major heart break among many AB supporters.  Again the sun will come up tomorrow but the black cloud left by this AB teams performance may take some time to rise.

Answer 4

That's the great thing about sports, up and downs. Being a part of a dream is a powerful thing. Catch a wave and ride. If you win great if not catch the next one.

Answer 5

in 99 i thought to my self after the loss owell just couldnt beat them in 03 i thought 2 myself we got beaten by the better team yesterday morning i could feel the tears getting ready 2 roll down my face this was supposed to be the year owell atleast we got next yeaars league world cup to pray for!!

Answer 6

Ummmmm.... wha?

Answer 7

no were not

Answer 8

We're not bad losers, we just need a day or two to get over this and then we will be able to move on and look forward to 2011.

Kiwi's being kiwis always like to vent their frustration out for a few days after anything that rattles there cages.... then they get over it and move on.

Daniel Carter plans to stay on so that is some good news.

I'm sure other countries that have been knocked out are exactly the same.

Yes it was a bad bad Sunday double whack the All Blacks and Holdens

Answer 9

I'm still a proud kiwi given what has happened yesterday. Remember, thats yesterday's news, todays news is that we get on with life again and wait for another 4 years! BUGGER! lol

Answer 10

The All Blacks legend fades after every World Cup humiliation. How can NZ be considered the best team in the world? The Wallabies have won it twice already. France vs Argentina final: go Les Bleus!

Answer 11

hahaha absolutely and already over it 'getmymackon' yes some ABs supporters probably will never get over this one lol, however in saying that, still watching the RWC and loving it (I say that now im over it) however it is a bit difficult to support another team but I will try cos after all anything is possible....lol

back to life as I know...... rock on 2011!!

Answer 12

The all blacks are not losers.

I take the p**s at the arrogant arseholes here (and boy there were many)...and yes i did find it delicious when you got knocked out.....

but I would rather have four years dominance watch brilliant amazing rugby and have loads of celebrations, and loose one cup competition - in a cracking exciting always to be remembered thrilling match....than have nothing but frustration and misery for four years and luckily sneak the big one.

I'll tell you when your losers...( i should know I'm welsh).

Chin up.
