The Road To Brazil 2014 via Wellington feat. Mexico

Tab offering $4.50 for  new zealand to make the world cup  and $1.18 for new zealand to fail to make the wc.

I think I came late to the party - but why on God's green earth did Jeremy Christie play?? I mean, I've got my boots on me - if NZF had paid for my trip to the US I could have played!!!

My new blog up - looking beyond the Ricki Herbert years: What NZF needs from its next manager http://aleftfootforstandingon.blogspot.co.uk/

Great soundtrack! So whadda we going to have playing when Mehico/Panama/Honduras arrive at Auckland airport? Bird twitters.

oh can anyone tell me what time the aw's kick off please against T&T

some fool put $100,000 on Australia to win the '438' one day cricket game against South Africa on 12 March 2006 paying $1.01 as well.

4 years a go we would have paid $7.00 to get to the world cup against mexico.......maybe we have improved??

Sky TV just told me when I phoned that the game will be televised tomorrow - but the lady on the phone said at 10 am 

My time zone converter says the game is 12.15 pm NZT (7.15 pm in Port of Spain, Trinidad).

In other words check the on screen EPG for updates...on Sky Sport 3 apparently.

NZ Football update on tomorrow's game issued this afternoon:

http://www.nzfootball.co.nz/index.php?id=11&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=2592&tx_ttnews[backPid]=10&cHash=1e12fb6357

"Pre-tour injuries ruled out All Whites regulars Chris Killen, Tim Payne, Marco Rojas, Shane Smeltz, and Chris Wood, while 86-cap veteran Ivan Vicelich returned home from Los Angeles to continue treatment in Auckland.  All bar Killen are expected to be in contention for Herbert’s side next month.

“I’ve said all along that there is a lot of football between now and November, especially with the A-League starting up over the weekend.

“This match provides another opportunity for players to cement their position in the squad or push for a place in my thinking for November.

“Mental and physical strength will be important heading into the playoff and it’s something we’ll put emphasis on from tomorrow,” said Herbert.

Jeremy Christie was unable to make the trip to Port of Spain due to his ‘green card’ still being processed in the USA. 

Herbert is yet to name his starting eleven and has three players who could be in line for their international debuts with Craig Henderson, 18-year-old Bill Tuiloma, and goalkeeper Tamati Williams vying for a chance to wear the All Whites shirt for the first time.

New Zealand (from): 1-Glen MOSS (gk), 2-Winston REID, 3-Tony LOCHHEAD, 4-Cole PEVERLEY, 5-Tommy SMITH, 6-Jake BUTLER, 7-Leo BERTOS, 8-Michael MCGLINCHEY, 9-Aaron CLAPHAM, 10-Rory FALLON, 11-Bill TUILOMA, 12-Tamati WILLIAMS (gk), 13-Dan KEAT, 14-Aaron SCOTT, 16-Jeremy BROCKIE, 17-Kosta BARBAROUSES, 19-Craig HENDERSON, 20-Kris BRIGHT, 21-Cam HOWIESON, 22-Andrew DURANTE

That's cuz that's the Mexican Football Federation's official FB, there's an official FB dedicated to the NT only: Mi Seleccion MX

It has over 2,500,000 likes.

I called earlier today and asked about coverage of the all whites vs trinidad and tobago game and a lady asked me if I was talking about rugby league... If a sky rep mentioned the game being aired at 10 am then I don't have much hope of them actually covering it. I read on a T&T news site that the game will being played on the local CNC3 channel (delayed by 3 hours, so 3:15 pm NZ time) which can be live streamed here:

I couldn't get it working but assume because they have no programs running during the early hours of the morning over there...

All Whites v Trinidad and Tobago is on Sky Sport 3 tomorrow (Wednesday) Sky told me at 9.50 pm on the phone - though they had the time wrong. If it's live it'll be on at 12.15 pm mid day. Check the onscreen EPG anyway.

CONCACAF final qualifiers all 2.30 pm NZT Wednesday - no TV here but you'll find lots of streams online....

Jamaica v Honduras

For Mexico to finish third they would need three points against Costa Rica, a victory for bottom-placed Jamaica over Honduras and a two-goal swing in its favour.

Mexico should take confidence from its success over Panama, but faces a tough opponent in Costa Rica, which suffered only its second defeat of the final round of qualification in Honduras three days ago.

Costa Rica - which has already ensured its place at next year's finals - has also not lost at home since September 2012.

It was Mexico which triumphed on that day as it ran out a 2-0 victor in the second round of qualification, but the host will be eager to exact revenge against a team it has not beaten since 2001.

Defeat for Mexico could allow Panama - which is three points behind in fifth ahead of its game with pool winner USA - to move into the play-off spot.

The onus will be on the likes of Javier Hernandez, who has scored five times in qualifying, and Raul Jimenez - scorer of the late winner against Panama - to help it avoid that scenario.

A draw will be enough for Mexico to wrap up its place in the play-off...

Storm Roux to be announced as part of NZ squad for WC playoffs

Make you wonder why he isn't in TnT now.

Yeah, I think the lady at Sky didn't have much of a clue. I find your link above is working  - I'm getting live Trinidad TV!!!

So that seems to be the go!!! 3.15 pm Wednesday then !

EDIT: This is wrong too - game is on CNC3 channel in Trinidad at 8 pm local time - 1 pm NZT but not likely to stream on the website as they only seem to stream hourly news...

AW's train at the stadium for T&T game in Port of Spain:

Trinidad and Tobago Soca Warriors

11 hours ago

New Zealand trains tonight at the Hasely Crawford Stadium

It's nice that T&T has made such a big deal of this - I guess they don't get too many international teams coming to play them.

Here's hoping for a good spectacle for a pasionate crowd.

Also good on us for wearing the support Akeem shirts during the game.

So is SKY showing this ?

USA fielding a weakened team v Panama. No Dempsey, Howard. Donovan, instead Klinsmann trying out fringe players.

See www.fifa.com

Go Panama!

It wouldn't surprise me if the USA decided to stick it to the Mexicans...

Yes but cant see Costa Rica giving a shit though

Fingers crossed. All we can do.
