SCCHHHHmetlzy!

Good stuff.

12' GOAL!!! New Caledonia 0-1 New Zealand Shane Smeltz opens the scoring after the ball comes to him and Rocky Nyikeine deflects the Chris Wood's first shot.

great stuff - fifa.com was the first to update with the goal for me

sounds like a typical Smeltz goal, normal service has resumed. Thank fuk

There's been a lot of fruitless F5 pressing so far this half.

20' Bertrand Kai shots from inside the box but he misses the target.

21' Georges Gop-Fenepej takes his chance but his shot misses the target

SHit.  We're sitting back now.

25' Long cross from Georges Gope-Fenepej but Mark Paston catches the ball.

Don't trust these updates. Apparently Paston caught a cross instead of punching it.

“31' The Tony Lochhead's cross finds Michael McGlinchey but his header misses the target.”

Suspicion confirmed.  In so many ways.

Fifa website refreshes by itself, but is lacking commentary. Only shows score, goal scorers, and minutes played.

with just over 5 minutes remaining in the half #AllWhites still lead New Caledonia 1-0. #NCLvNZL #WCQ

2-0 according to fifa

We GOT WOOOOOD

40' - GOAL - Chris Wood makes it 2-0 to the #AllWhites in Noumea.#NCLvNZL #WCQ

Good to see Wood score, seems that he has had a few shots

Wish this was on TV, Oceania Football Confederation's updates are as average as.

But still, good to see the AWs up 2-0 at the half! We want 7! We want 7!

40' GOAL!!! New Caledonia 0-2 New Zealand Michael McGlinchey crosses to Shane Smeltz and finds Chris Wood who scores with a header.

45' Two minutes additonal time.

The referee whistles the end of the first half.

Good signs.

A moments reflection between red wines and the F5 key.

That's not a bad bench for an All Whites side.  Things are looking up.

Tuatara pale ale, salted peanuts, Jon Voigt and Burt Lancaster in 70s classic, between iPad refresh on 3 different websites. 

We need to put the boot on the throat now and send a message.

Nice Beer Marius. Mine is a Golden Tusk Special

Manny plays for Malta. Sigmund is on the bench.

Tap water, peanut butter sandwich, UK do up a house programme on TV.

Pizza amd Zero coke.

55' Noel Kaudre's shot misses the target.

60' Jacques Haeko crosses to Bertrand Kai but he cannot shoot and the defense clears the ball.

62' Free kick for New Caledonia, Cesar Lolohea takes it and Mark Paston catches the ball.

60th minute.  I'm picking a Ricki sub in next 5 minutes.

54' YELLOW CARD Shane Smeltz is cautioned for New Zealand.

Kosta and Payne for Smeltz and McG I pick

I'd really like to see us play without Vicelich in midfield - let's see if Keat etc are up to it!
