OFC Nations Cup 2016 - vs New Caledonia | Wed 8 Jun | 5.50pm | SS Popup

Stefan is a God

We gotta be careful or we'll be down to 10

saving bill for the final?

this is simply embarrasing

kip colvey= ming

They got their tails up huh?

In some respects they have simply been the better team

NC have got the ball into our penalty box so many more times than we have at their end. This simply shouldnt be happening giving the fact we have so many players playing professionally, we really should be capable of putting these teams to the sword. The Australian C team wouldnt accept being 2nd best to these sides.

So much for this wind being a big factor....

JESUS CHRIST NEW CALEDONIA ARE MESSING ABOUT

that's got to be a card.. professional foul. no ball. off his feet and from behind

Isn't there an element of shark reffing here? I'm referring to the amount of pushes in the back that NC have gotten away with.

Could we just hold on to the fudgeing ball!?

we are hanging on here

The big issue is that NC don't have the composure to shoot. One decent striker and we'd be down 3-1.

FFS - hold the door, i mean ball. we have a 1-0 lead!

kosta doing the right thing

NC pass the way I wish we could

If Hudson says the conditions meant we couldn't play good football, he's a liar. If New Caledonia can string passes together, there's no reason we shouldn't have been able to - wind or no wind.

Off comes big bad Rory. And on comes Korean boy band member Te Atawhai Hudson Wihongi.

heat/humidity would affect AWs more tho

If I ran an all whites camp first activity would be line up and get a number 1 proper haircut

That's 'future Nix midfield general' and Draco Malfoy lookalike, Te Atawhai Hudson-Wihongi.

NZ's man of the match is New Caledonia's keeper.  Followed closely by our own keeper

Crowd building for next game...

comedy hour

lol - doesn't even know the rules laws

Is Ixooe even a keeper, or is this like Div 4 where whoever turns up last has to put on the gloves?

ewwwww we are so negative

Psycho v Hudson Wihongi would be a belting fight.

Thank God for goal keepers, both those horrendous (New Cal) and heroic (Marinovic).

Holy Shark we were terrible.

pyscho would destroy him

That is the worst I've ever seen from an all whites side.

warm handshakes with the keeper!

Did Wood just indicated he couldn't swap shirts because he didn't have a spare?

that was stonkingly awful

I wonder if the rest of the USA Costa Rica game was better than this?

#dutyoverpleasure

"Lets take a look at this absorbing dire game"

I should be the commentator. 

Marinovic and Wihongi-Hudson seem so calm. Wihongi controlling the ball with his head down to Colvey to hold possession.

thank fuuck for that\

we were pretty lucky.
