The Road To Brazil 2014 via Wellington feat. Mexico

"Though he died after being arrested, GF managed to avoid the agony of being quartered (cut open while still conscious) by jumping from the gallows and breaking his neck."

AJ is one of my favourite posters. "If you leave me now...........you'll take away the biggest part of me..........ohhhh no AJ please don't go..."

Chicago? How old are your parents?

Probably more accurate than 18.

As New Zealand’s crucial World Cup qualifier against Mexico approaches (the away leg is on Nov 14 NZT) the Breakfast of Champions’ reaches out to stalwart Ivan Vicelich to get the inside scoop on the team’s preparations.

Jetsetting All Whites

This is getting beyond a joke.

The Phoenix need to pull their heads in and just get out of the fucking way here.

A World Cup play-off is far more important than an A-League game against the Glory.

NZF need to stand firm and tell the Nix to GGF. It's not even about whether it can be done logistically. It's about the player's well-being. Surely running off the pitch and straight onto a plane for 15-16 hours worth of travel is not great for the body and mind. And by being soft on the Phoenix NZF are also allowing West Ham, Ipswich and Leicester to engage in the same nonsense.

And by the way, there has been so much shit about the All Whites preparation given to NZF on this forum already that I cannot believe anybody could actually summon up enough hypocrisy to criticize NZF if they do force the Nix All Whites to miss the Glory game (unless you are a Dirty Sanchez in disguise).

This! This! This!

Hope to fuck if Durante plays in Mexico he gets a spring in his step! Otherwise they're going to run through him like he's a hole. Who's his cover? Ivan? Lawdy-lord! I reckon Payne's going to get thrown in - I hope Payne's going to get thrown in!

Durante and Sigmund should nowhere near team.

Fitzgerald Reid Smith should be back 3

Termy is right playing against Glory is fucking dumb

According to the article a few posts up ( http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11151401 ) the All Whites are flying out of Auckland Int'l at 10:45pm.

Any folks in Auckland heading to the airport? :)

Just make sure you don't impede their sprint to the check-in counter Mm.

But do impede jeremy christie tho

LOL. Poor JC. Designated AW scapegoat. I suppose we need one before the match(es). Might have more than one after.

Imagine a midfield of

Bertos McGlinchey Christie Lochhead

Enjoy your day!

Aaaargh! Let's see what 11 a.m brings. RH plays Santa.

Plodder and Lochhead in an intercontiental playoff. Golly.

You're (possibly) right! Of course he might go for Clapham...

Match details

Leg 1 
Wednesday 13 November 
Kickoff: 2.30pm (Thursday 14 November, 9.30am, NZ time) 
Estadio Azteca, Mexico City 

Leg 2 
Wednesday 20 November 
Kickoff: 7pm 
Westpac Stadium, Wellington

No Dan Keat?

Christie and Lochhead. FML. The big guy's little boy wept, etc etc...

This is my take on the squad.

Durante, Sigmund,Lochhead, Bertos,Ivan and Christie should not even bother getting changed.

The other major problem that we have is the fitness of Marco and Smeltz.

Other than that we might be able to put a competitive side on the pitch.
