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

New Caledonia doing Arenal to our Stoke, but we've not got Huth or Ryan watsit

"New Caledonia happy to hit it long..."

*NC do some beautiful wing play and create a chance*

Hahaha.

They are playing so much better than us....

Based on that attempted chest trap, I would say he is really bad.  

Prevelic really struggling

So this, he has looked like a fan who has won an "All White for a day" prize. 

he's awful, I have said this all tournament the guy cant trap a beach ball, he can't pass, he can't shoot and he can't tackle. He is SHARK

He's one of my favourite Simpsons characters though.

New Caledonia playing good football here.

The question is: if they scored now would that wake us up or would we go on to lose. Getting worried here.

I'm sh*tin bricks here....

It's bizarre given the options and what is at stake in this game that Hudson would chose to start him.

Yes, we need a lucky break...

I wonder if the wind is helping NC more than we might realise?

lol at the "heres"

Back to knocking it long every chance we get like the first two games.

He's one of Hudson's "boys"

Psycho for Nix!

Our long throws are shark, don't even get into the six yard.... woeful

What?

Jesus, I'm getting those 'nam flashbacks again...

We are under the pump! It's like watching the Phoenix.

Take fallon off, lanky man cant do a thing, as well as prelevic.... -_____-

Chuck the youngsters on, more exciting to watch, much more innovative football from them and none of this old fashioned hit the targetman shark.

So which team has had the most attempts at goal so far?

Have a feeling that Psycho is bound to score. What a great name for a footballerr

I've been watching the Copa America over the past few days, watching us struggle like this makes me wonder how we're supposed to qualify for the World Cup facing a team around Copa America quality

Well if it isn't the wind the other explanation is that they are playing really well and we are playing really poorly. Possibly that they are tactically better than us too, as Prelevic breaks up another attack for us.

We really should be looking at bringing more Oceania players into the nix fold. Develop them through the weenix to the first team.

I reckon you could pluck a random player out of the 5th tier of Victorian football that would be better than Prelevic.

This might be the worst team selection i've seen. Are we sure Smeltz is playing?

we will get humped. Prevlevic is comical, he is incredibly poor

Smeltz with a yellow

Shane Smeltz ? #shambles OFC....

where did he come from anyway? never heard of him, and for good reason

Prelevic looks like one of the players where the bounce never goes his way. Everytime it looks like he might be able to get an intercept etc his change of direction has him losing out.

And Smeltz goes into the book.

this is embrassing

Holy crap I thought that deflection was going in - Marinovic completely stranded.

Has Prelevic completed a pass yet?

Seriously thinking Dyer might be a better option than Prelevic
