ALL WHITES V BAHRAIN - Official 2nd Leg T

Algeria were in Mexico in 1986.

Disagree - in fact it was Bahrain adjusting to our formation early on, trying to get in behind what they thought would be genuine wing-backs (which they were not), but that clearly wasn't the way they were used to playing (slow in getting numbers forward and picking the right attacking channles to run into with that kind of tactis) and obviously didn't work for them.

When they switched to their more usual style of keeping it on the deck and utilising speed, they cut us open repeatedly, especially in the second half. el grapadura2009-10-14 10:43:38

He's played well, but remove your hand.
Want a lazy $100 on who'll play in goal once Mossy has done his 4 games?

Also Algeria were in France in 98, they beat Scotland 3-1 or 4-1....

You're on. It won't be in the first 2 games of course, assuming we get there.

Incidently, if it hasn't been mentioned already. If Ivan steps out on the pitch on the 14th, and no reason why he won't, he'll be the highest capped All White. Currently equal with Vaughan Coveny on 64

Edward that headline makes zero sense.

I heard Bahrain are spending the days leading up to the qualifier playing and training in Brisbane. I wouldn't call Brisbane a great way of leading up to a clash in good ole Wellington in Spring.

Let the Southerly be with us.
Royal2009-10-14 14:07:29

Shhhh... don't tell them that.  Oh, and if the Southerly could roll in about 19:00 after a day of NZFC and Festival of Football in the sun, that would be perfect.

Is it possible to get a ticket counter setup, similar to the Phoenix membership counter?

Would be good to watch the ticket sales number rolling on up :)

I'm pretty sure almost all of the madrilenos would refer to it as "la ciudad" or simply Madrid/ la capital.

Just out of interest, has the ref been named for the return leg?

Could make a big difference.

Also i read on another thread, a 1000 people from Bahrain flying over, including the royal family, wow, I guess security will be tight.

Yeah the ref will be a big call.....hopefully we get a northern european who doesn't mind a bit of contact.

do we know where the AW's will be staying in SA (where they are based) if they get through ?

i'm going to book some tickets to South Africa so.............

Cool. And i doubt no team knows where there staying at the current time. So why not gamble and go with jo burg. Also im loving the thing under your avatar.

I've got a bit of confusion I'd like cleared up if anyone knows any information..I purchased my tickets to the White Noise Zone via ticketeks website but have subsequently lost the email. I opted to pick up the tickets from the stadium because I'm flying up from Chch. I cannot find any information on ticketeks website about my purchase when I log in with my email and password but would like to know where I am actually sitting so I can ask on here about how close I will be to the center of White Noise.

can anybody tell me what the situation is with away goals in these games? Ie. if the 2nd leg is a 1-1, 2-2, 3-3 etc draw does that mean Bahrain goes thru? Or will the 2nd leg go into extra time? Thanks.

any draw besides 0-0 and bahrain wins. clark007e2009-10-14 18:46:17

if 1-1, 2-2, 3-3 and any other score draw, then Bahrain goes through by way of away goals. If it is a 0-0 draw, then it goes to extra time and the away goals would not count in extra time. Any draw after ET, then it goes to penalties.

thanks. i thought as much. that clears up a conversation i had earlier this week with some joker who thought otherwise.

So the extra time goals have been confirmed as not counting? My internet was down for a day so I missed a lot of posts in Rules for the 2nd Leg thread.

I have been told by radio sport that away goals do count in extra time.

We've been over this..

that is what i thought but an Aussie website is offering packages to SA in Jburg saying "the roos are just a few minutes down the road from your hotel" ??

and yea that emo thing is stupid.

Well thats what NZF has been saying and as I read the FIFA documents it seems to infer that is the case. But as some people have said, it is not obvious to them. But I take it as say as thus that ET is not actually part of the second leg, it is a decider in itself.

If the same number of goals is scored away or both matches end without any goals being scored, extra time of two periods of 15 minutes each will be played. To me it says that after normal time when both matches end (i.e. 90 minutes of the 1st leg and 90 minutes of the 2nd leg) and taking the account of the away goal rule, then extra time of 15 minutes each will be played on the event of an even outcome. I really can't say that it would be read otherwise.

The away goal rule is stupid tbh. they should just go straight to ET and the PSO.

edit:to refer back to the rules in boldAllWhitebelievr2009-10-14 19:29:00

That owuld be because they have qualified and we haven't.  Pre-empting these sort of things is a sure way to end up with egg on your face.

but the draw happens on December 4th so how do they know where they are based ?

Yes but it is the way you do it in. When he has a bad game you are one of the first to let everyone know (out of credible posters, ignoring the likes of whooooooo) and you do not pull any punches. On his good games I barely hear a whisper from you.

Even now you call his saves "half decent" while if it was say another keeper (who won't be named) you would be calling them fantastic saves, not making it sound like he had an above average performance. However even Nelsen, Herbert and many others have hailed his standout performanc and said he was fantastic.

Yet Moss is considered the best keeper in the A league.

mate, a bit premature on the Paston stuff wpf..........

if we qualify you can hail him all you want (i might even join in )

Are you being serious? I would consider Vukovic, Galekovic Reddy, and Paston all better then Moss. Moss seriously lacks organisational skills (please no jokes) and this is shown by the fact that no matter what team he plays for, teams consistently score goals (often in 2+ amounts) against him.

Also I am sick and tired of this "nervous" excuse. I have no idea where it started but he has done nothing consistently to justify these feelings IMHO.
