Remember a draw is no good for us.  I'm still uncumfy.

long way from comfy Stevo - but not a bad start
 
hopefully the Solomon's players having not been rotated, plus 10 players running to cover 11 might all help
 
CMON!!

exactly - you can guarantee we'd get no favours from Fiji if it comes down to the final round of games.

16�- Totori through with Old in pursuit � great defending by

Old to take the ball away from the Solomon Islands dangerman



20�- Benjamin Totori takes on Aaron Scott � good defending by Scott


looks like our defence might be a bit stronger than what the Solomons have experienced so far in the tournament.

light rain falling, should cool the temp down, but increase the risk of mistimed tackles and ball skidding off the pitch (hopefully past their keeper)
 
good reading from the comm
 

26�- � Totori gets into good positions but he�s outnumbered and the New Zealand defence is in excellent form and no mood to allow the Waitakere striker through

   

28�- Cole Tinkler and Steven Old have Benjamin Totori locked down it seems and with a numerical advantage it looks like the Oly-Whites are in control

   

30�- Totori looks a frustrated man for his team � every time he gets the ball he is surrounded by white shirts

whew!!, long way to go

as a Waitakere Utd fan might I just say, "I hope Totori has a shocker"

He's deserting you as well, off to the states come the end of the season apparently.

I might need a beer to settle the nerves.
 
Just PMed gourdie to see if the goal(s) - hopefully just 1!! - will be on 3 sports.
 
Expect he won't get it , but can't be arsed with their offical website and the password bollocks.

hadn't heard that but doesn't surprise me - never really looked like a player that would stick around for a long time...still, give us the Double, and I won't complain.

This is not good, island referees still full of retaliations, its a Vanuatu referee, remember Solo already beat Vanuatu..and no wonder this man Lencie Fred has given a red card to Mamae and did not flash a red card or even a yellow card to NZ No. 12 who elbowed Totori in the penalty area but then surprisingly gave a yellow card to Totori. I dont think Island referees should be take games in such important tournaments. USELESS Referring, OFC must take some actions!!

69�- GOAL! Craig Henderson rifles home a wonder strike from outside the penalty area and there is no doubt about the legitimacy of that strike! 2-0 to New Zealand!
