All Whites, Ferns, and other international teams
So, who will have the worst World Cup play-off results - us or Jordan?
Jordan lost 5-0 at home to Uruguay last week - they play again tomorrow NZT away in Montevideo....
Will be interesting - it may become a blow-out as several Jordanian players have quit the team and refused to travel
There's always some one worse off than you......

why are we trying to play offside? i used to tell my 10 year old team that we only push up to compress. and the all whites are stationary waving their hands in the air!?
tuiloma is getting skinned. not his fault, you don't just throw a back 4 together in a few days
smith and durante have never played as a pairing. just like ivan hadn't played in defence for ages before the 1st leg. our limited preparation is made even worse by herbert not building these combinations within the team in the games he's been given
brockie pissed me off man, there's a reason smeltz is our penalty taker and there's a reason you''ve never scored a goal for us, so to upset the order like that was very poor form

Brockie looks like he did years ago for Canterbury United when he plays for the AW's
He scored about one goal in his couple of seasons for Canterbury United. I remember a season for Canterbury where he was a joke in front of goal and failed to score any goals......
I want to shoot those who said Mexico would be easier then Panama etc, this includes RH
the worlds biggest 2nd half coming!!!
Someone e-mailed me they're watching the game streaming here:

He is a stand-out for me

almost fallon again!
again, running and not passing. come on boys!!!
great work by fenton, pity about the final ball
Jesus, is Kosta aware one can pass the ball instead of single-handedly trying to dribble the ball into the net?
storm again! pinching it to stop an attack

Well I'd hope Mexico were always going to produce much better teams than us with their huge population, financial input & passion for the game.
We have the population of Sydney, little money and not much passion amongst the general population for football...
We're producing a few good players like Rojas, Roux, Thomas and Wood but many of our team are not top professional standard.
We can't afford world-class coaches in NZ - and can't even afford for our team to play regularly....
Having said that, actually there aren't many teams with our small population above us on the FIFA rankings...
I knew Roux was good from watching the A-League - but I didn't realise he's that good.
Boy, very promising debut - big talent for the future...

speculator from james, not the worst idea
brockie has bought nothing to this game
why not fallon from the start? or an extra CM
did fallon just take some on and try and dribble around them??!! i never thought id see the day. well done that man!
why not fallon from the start?
james again!! this time twice as high and still wide!
I wonder if the perth coach had a word in rickis ear and asked him to take off smeltz once the game got away on us to say him for the weekend...
C'mon guys, you managed to score in Mexico - let's have one in Wellie !!!!
Wow that was a lucky save from our defender & Moss combining (accidently) !!!!
Big Pete 65, Christchurch
fuck, 2 v 4 and mexico couldnt score! well done and shit we got lucky
