North gets dose of World Cup fever
Football fever hit Whangarei on Saturday when Myanmar took on the USA in the Fifa U20 World Cup at the Northland Events Centre. The Americans won 2-1 but Whangarei was also a winner with locals and visitors embracing the game and the pre-game entertainment in the central city. The colourful Brazilian Divas were a crowd favourite. Photographer John Stone was there too.
