2012 OFC Nations Cup Solomon Islands

Gutted. 

Crap defending but equaly crap refing with the player going straight through Bertos to get the ball.

bertos, wood off, rojas and brockie on

The pitch is a disgrace, I can't believe that Fifa allowed the tournament to be played all on one pitch.

wee mac hits the cross bar, follow up header by killen miles over! unlucky boys! come on!!!

c'mon white!

Might have to hunker down us football fans for the foreseeable period.  It could get ugly - from a number of directions.

soooo close!

Kosta almost gives us hope!

We're gone.

Not on the same page.

New Caledonia look shakey on defence. There is still time

It's not looking good......

I hope we dont hear any excuses about the pitch, the heat or the ref. We just are not good enough. Lack a midfield badly, and a decent game plan

These fucking offsides!

rojas has a fantastic touch on what could be the worst pitch hes played on since he was 9

I think we miss Elliot more than Nelsen. We do need a central midfield pair before the next stage

lochy off, fallon on! get loud about it!

Longball, offside, longball, offside, longball, offside. Farken hell.

6mins of exrtra time... come on lads!!

NC 2 up. shite

BULLOCKS!

ffs, that's shocking

Terrible.

The minimum requirement in my opinion for Herbert was to reach the final of the oceania nations cup. At what point do we consider another option?

Ok. NOW we're fucked

Woeful, huge lack of scoring intent.

NC should be 3 up. If we are serious about our football, then does ricki survive?

Shameful.

Congrats New Caledonia. 

out of all of our crosses(20+), 2 hit AW players, how many crosses did they make? 2 or 3? however they played with the ball along the ground and guess what. they got 2 goals! its not rocket science. 

but I wanna say that NC bossed us around today. full credit to them, they played smarter and kept chipping away, i hope they take out the final. and I hope our boys do there best in the 3rd place playoff, but its gonna have to be much improved.

Embarrassing , a very poor performance from us over the whole tournament. Hang your heads in shame boys you blew it.

It will also mean that NZ Football finances will take a hit with no money from the Confeds cup coming in and when whoever wins the tournament gets dicked at the Confeds Fifa may relook at our qualification path.

A bad day for football in NZ.

Wow... what can I say. Gutted.

That should surely be a wake up call for the lads.

Edit: I will add that Ricki summed it up quite well in his bit after the game. I'm glad that he didn't blame any external influence

hmmm. nothing to say really.

congrats ncl. Good for the island nations to get some of that fifa cash coming from the confeds.

Ricki has a lot of decent players to choose from and tactics to work with...failed.

shiiiiit. So how do the home/away playoffs for World Cup qualification work? Are we still in with a chance???

Hats off to New Caledonia though, they played well. 

so our starting lineup had 2 strikers in the midfield...fail.

ps. loving the long ball by the way.
