For some of the young guys it will be a career highlight for sure. Just feels wrong to celebrate after that display and everything over the 2 weeks
OFC Nations Cup 2016 Final - vs PNG | Sat 11 Jun | 6pm | SS Popup
PNG got robbed without the keeper substitution in the 120th minute.
They need to make it before the game ends. They had the chance at the throw in with 119 gone, but chose not to take it.
I thought they were trying but the 4th official didnt get the refs attention
If this goes to penalties then I can see Brockie being the one to miss.
be good winners now lads and shake their hands. You can't skyte a win when it's on pens in my opinion.
they've got no right to have any attitude at all but thy seem to be full of it
Meh, we've been held back by Hudson's sharke tactics. We're winning despite of him. They deserve to celebrate, no matter how shark we've been. They still won the thing, which we haven't done in a while..
I'm cynical and negative, but saying that the players can't celebrate winning a tournament in tough conditions is f*cking stupid.
When you're playing, you don't care how you win as long as it is within the laws of the game. They didn't have to watch it!
Good thing those 4 guys are holding up that string to stop the pitch invasion

Strange interview from Rory.
PNG can take heart in the fact they've still got something NZ hasn't had for a long time...a home friendly coming up!!!

class penalty by dyer, brockie was tragic - as expected

that's for photographers
FDJ getting stuck in on all whites playing style.
Judging by some of the comments about Brockie I'm guessing he's the first player in the history of football to miss in a shootout
Just a quick reminder to you guys on just how far you've come over the past 10 years or so...
We really need to draw Aussie next year.
Here's hoping, cobber.
Fred laying into Hudson as diplomatically as possible, but still tearing our approach to shreds.
Rory Fallon shake hands with every PNG players, on the interview he praise PNG's arrangement of this OFC Nations Cup. That's what real captain should do after winning the final,
Nevermind Chris Wood, make him the captain permanently to lead us to World Cup 2018, please.
Fire Hudson.
Brockie should never be allowed to play for his country again.
We dodge a bullet, we did the job.
But theres gotta be big changes, we can never play football like this again.
I think this performance proves you have to have a team together for some solid time - our part-time approach with only a few half-strength games every couple of years really cripples the team. Getting out of this with the win gives us the chance to try and do it right. Time will tell. Looks like the WC Qualifiers will need to be taken a bit more seriously from now on.

I quite like Brockie, but it does play into his terrible goal-scoring record for the National team.

You've never seen him play for NZ before, have you?

I lie. David Browne. But he plays at the wrong end of the pitch.

Wood would have done the same. Rory has stepped up well though, with his rag tag army to manage to sneak us through. At this stage it doesn't matter how we do it. What we do from here is crucial. I'd say Marinovic, Adams and T H-W are the main folk to have their reputations enhanced. Everyone else gets a should do better.

Thats it in a nut shell.
Good on the PNG coach and team - they are winners.

Look at Hudson in the middle there looking like a Twit.
Love Fallon.
Edit: Supposed to quote the person asking if any PNG looked like nix prospects ...
Well it's a big call for an import slot but that Gunemba looked a very handy player ...
