Ummm...I'm sure the first option (losing to Tonga by 1-4 goals) looks attractive to Fiji. That's with both finalists making the WC - so win your semi and you are off to Peru.

But Tonga lost to lowly Samoa 6-0. They are obviously very weak.

Not sure how you lose to them by any margin, without the OFC tourney organisers looking to step in.

Perhaps they need a final game where the losing finalist plays winner of 3rd/4th game. Winner gets the 2nd WC spot. Otherwise is seemingly bad luck for whoever draws NZ in their semi.
