New Zealand: Mauri Haka

Posted by Mike - February 23, 2007 at 10:02:30 pm

A long time ago when I was a wee youngin and still playing soccer in a league, I played against a team that did a dance before the game. At the time I thought it rather comical. I don’t remember what they did or what was said, but I don’t think it was anything like the Haka that the New Zealand rugby team, the All Blacks, perform before every match.

My brother sent that video to me earlier today and said it reminded him of when he went to play soccer in New Zealand and Austrailia. Watching it I noticed a guy in an Adidas ‘film crew’ jacket, so I looked through the associated videos of the previous one and found this commercial, which uses footage from the dance in the video above.
