i understand that christie no longer good enough for the all whites (or is he really?)
but i don't understand the hate
he's a nice guy and very inoffensive
he tries hard and by new zealand standards (especially at the time) has played at a decent level
we are not spain. we have a long track record of midfield grafters; players that lack the flashy skills, but try to do a job
hardly a hateable offence on his part
