Very overcast today and it seems to be significantly cooler.  Should be slightly more comfortable for us, especially with the later kickoff.

I got a txt from a friend about that this morning. I can't see it on the online Tv guide or their sports twitter account. No clue if its true.

iSky lists it live at 4pm on SS3. Replay at 7:30pm on SS1. Still nothing on the only TV guide, would it be just for iSky?

[Edit: just checked on my TV, it has it listed as live on SS3 on the guide now]

About time. Does this mean that they will show the semis and final too?

Great news - we assume they will play the rest of the games as well.

Currently 0.4 degrees here in Christchurch according to Metservice. Prefer that to 42 personally. Plus the snow gives me an excuse to stay at home. So long as the power stays on so I can watch the game...

So Sky covering, coverage from 15:53.  Not sure on the feed quality, they are still working thorugh that.  COmmentary will probably be Gordy and Miles.

Fiji up 1-0.  Missed the goal as I'm switching in and out while on a conference call.

If Fiji win as expected, it'll be a very, very interesting game later this afternoon.

PNG showing Fiji up a bit as well.  Still the lack of finishing from PNG the issue.  Needs more Pacific Ifill.  Ganemba with an awful miss just now.


Also, why would Vanuatu who struggled in front of goal not select Soromon? GGW?

I am so pissed at Sky TV.

Last week they weren't having a bar of it, now they claimed they always wanted to air the All Whites games, that is bollocks.

if only they didn't have the monopoly of cable tv in this country!!

Fiji Gaaaaawn.

v SOL: Gleeson; Myers, Boxall, Smith (c), Hogg; Bertos, Clapham, Payne, Rojas; Wood, Fallon 

That midfield is 'interesting'

So is that Myers at RB? Or still a 343 somehow? Looks like a 442.

Payne in the middle is interesting. Also interesting to see Howieson and McGeorge still not getting on.

Am SO glad there's live streaming of these games here in "Disaster Central" a.k.a. Christchurch- it's been snowing all day and so no Sky TV reception due to my satellite dish being covered on the roof (and atmospheric interference?) so in fact the streaming is currently the only way I can watch !!!

Off now into the blizzard to try hosing down my dish on the roof and wash the snow off it - will probably not work as is still snowing heavily ! Want to try and get the Sky coverage so I can record it on to DVD for my parents in their rest home...

Solomons in June = 42 degrees // Christchurch = zero degrees or less !!!!

Could be 4-4-2 with a diamond midfield. Clapham as the DM, Payne sitting behind the strikers.

I've got a good feeling about this one - there will be plenty of goals. I'm picking a 4-1 win!

Too cold and snowy to go outside. Perfect conditions for me to watch the game.

TV coverage better than expected. Who'd have thought the Solomon Islands would have a better broadcasting infrastructure than Texas.
