Lads, lads, lads.....at the end of the day, does it matter? We would only have gotten knocked out in the group stage, so let Fiji have their moment in the Sun. They did alright at the U20s, despite playing in frigid Chch. Maybe they'd do better than us at the Copacabana anyway?

All this calling for heads to roll.....sure, someone fudgeed up. But so have you at your work, and you're probably still there. I know I am.

Now let's all sing Kumbaya, and prepare for the All Whites inevitable loss to Myanmar

Well I would feel a bit sorry for Fiji if we win the appeal. But if you are going to feel sorry for Fiji you could also feel sorry for Vanuatu who had a goal disallowed in the penalty shootout that looked to me like it crossed the line. It would have sent them through. Anyway I hope someone told the Fijian players prior to the final that we are appealing the decision.

As for the Olympics I disagree that it is trivial. It is a massive part of the 2018 WC strategy for Hudson.

Messi might play for Argentina too.

These are hugely important games for NZ Football.

I agree 100% with your comment that the blame game is not helpful. Let's not speculate about individual staff members. We know nothing of what the internal NZF processes were or who was involved.
