Other Game Update

After 32 minutes

New Caledonia 2 Fiji 0

(29,32)

Where you watching/listening? I might tune in if my connection holds

Halftime still 2-0

Scorers Pierre Wajoka (29') Michel Hmae (32')

I'm just getting updates from Fifa.com (sorry)

Michel Hmae again in the 61 minute

NC 3,0 Fiji

Haha no need to apologise, and good on ya for posting tabs! I was doing the same for TW's recent match using the play by play on the NZFC site. The things we do to follow football eh? lol

Maybe I'll see if I can tune into a New Cal station and see if my first year French is up to the task 

Just an aside, I notice that Simione Tamanisau is not listed in the team sheet for Fiji.

Does New Caledonia have sanctions in place as well?

Maybe he got conscripted 

4-0
Marius MAPOU (64')

Final score 4-0 to the Caledonians. 

His employers refused to let him travel. I read that in the Fifa preview.   1 month to late eh.

We beat Fiji 2-0 and they beat Fiji 4-0. We probably are going to have quite a task on our hands when we play them next year. Mind you we were playing away from home against Fiji.loyalgunner2007-11-22 13:42:09

Away goals count double so in terms of goal differential, we'll both bet Fiji 4-0. But New Cal do seem to be one to watch out for, I'm looking forward to seeing them play the All Whites. In person. In Noumea. (If I can afford it...)

So we need a draw at the minimum aye team? Or is my ability to read this draw just plain sh*te!

if I'm not too tired to think straight

New Cal can pick up another 12 points (6 are at stake v us), we are currently 5 points ahead of them, so if we pick up 1 more and share the points with them (either 2 draws or a win each) it'll come down to goal diff

so if we win at 'home' v Fiji (likely - but obviously not guaranteed) and share the points in our encounters with  New Cal we are through,

or we could just pick up 4 v New Cal (over two games)

or....??

We need at least another win and a draw to clinch it. 

i horrendously duplicated this thread a moment ago. if new cal get max points out of vanuatu it gets interesting. when are those games?

damn, that is so elegant compared to my tortured explanation

though in my defence, we could do it with just 2 points if those points came from 2 draws with New Cal and we had a better goal diff

etc etc

that's quite a while to hold our breath

any one up for a few days in port vila next june to get behind the vanuatuans?

I'm actually hoping to go to New Caledonia is the All Whites - Fiji game gets scheduled there. Way I see it, if the NZF can't bring that match to NZ, then we should bring NZ to that match. I hope to be there wearing white and flying the flag I left at home yesterday, using my poor first year french.

I always loved "En depit des rumeurs, je ne suis pas canadien." I dated a Canadian a couple years ago and often our accents rubbed off on each other, so people often through I was a Canuck upon first meeting me, and she a kiwi. So I'd go "En depit des rumeurs, je ne suis pas canadien" and they'd go "Okay. French Canadian" '

French Canadians are really grumpy
