New Zealand looking respectable, 0-0 at the half against Norway.

CBD in this instance referring to "Central Business District", not "Cannabidiol" (the cannabis extract)

The first two matches are in the books with both host countries picking up a win by a 1-0 margin. Australia beat Ireland, and New Zealand beat Norway.

I'll admit the New Zealand - Norway match was not what I was expecting. That was the best I have seen the Football Ferns play in a very, very long time. Was actually glad that the PK was missed as that kept the tension in the game right until the final whistle (Norway were finally playing with real intent in the last 20 minutes or so). Fantastic atmosphere at the stadium, and the win should get more of the NZ public interested in the tournament. That was the first ever win for New Zealand in a World Cup match.
Watched Ireland - Australia as it was just kicking off when we got home. Quite a tight match, Ireland probably feel a bit unlucky to not get a point out of that. Australia were missing Sam Kerr due to calf injury (she'll miss their first two matches).

I had Norway as a bit of a sleeper team this tournament -- congrats to the Ferns!

Sadly we were just informed neither of our bags made it to Melbourne so hopefully we'll see them sometime over the weekend.

They unloaded some "cargo" leaving DFW and apparently that included our luggage. Kind enough to tell us right when we landed.
