NZFC Grand Final

NZFC Grand Final

The grand final is now between Waitakere and Team Wellington.

This year's record reads:
� Waitakere 2 wins - 5-1 and 1-0
� Wellington 1 win - 2-1

So 7 goals and 6 points for Waitakere and 3 goals and 3 points for Team Wellington.

Who are you picking to win and why?

I am picking TW to win. They have momentum and their midfield will hurt Waitakere's midfield. The strikeforce and defence for Waitak are superior but this game will be won or lost in the midfield. A few goals in it.

3-2 to Team Wellington but that means TW will have to be prepared to attack to score and leave themselves open.

I think this has the making to be a great final.  TW are the underdogs but are running high on the great result against the Aucks. Waitak have had the break which can be a good or a bad thing. 

TW because they have the good sense to play (most of) their home games in the mighty Wellington suburb of Newtown.

TW 2-1, momentum is on their side, and they've played like they want it more.

Football will be the winner on the day

closely followed by TW

I think that Auckland City will win.

Ive heard Halstead could be out for the final, can any of his fan club confirm or deny?

Fairplay is always the winner on the day..

Team Wgtn 2-0 Waitakere

Does Corrales always dive that much.
TW aren't getting shots on goal this half. I reckon their formation is wrong.

coralles gets his body right and players end up giving him a bit of a tap,  - he is quick

Coralles = Ahmed El**ch in disguise?

Krishna, Bazeley,Pearce, Koprovic,Sykes, Hat, Butler , too strong fot TW. Halstead was the only one with much penetration.

Had to laugh when Emblen said "The fans have been great all year" despite the fact they don't even know what the word noise means.

what was the bobby moore?
i heard 2-0 to Waitak- say it aint so!!!!!!!

Yep, Team Welly came and went a bit  - great period first 20 mins after halftime but waitak soaked it up - if G's shot had gone in at about 63 rd min it might have been a bit different

I could certainly hear the Welly boys chanting over the TV. Well done! Dunno what soe of those lyrics were though..."we've got the wind, the rain and mumble mumble mumble..."

Seconded What a legend, I hope we managed to get it on video or something.

Video news story at tv3.co.nz.  Hard luck but a good year, retaunung our best players and replacing G is the priority now!

NZFC Treble = Youth League Champion, NZFC Premiership, NZFC Championship. OCL isn't part of the NZFC so it doesn't count as part of the NZFC treble...though I know if I had to choose between 2008 Waitakere's position and 2006 City's position, I'd pick the latter.

I believe we won the Youth League that year too. Quadruple like?

To be fair Auckland City have never won the O-League they have won OFC Club Champs which was a one off tournament in Auckland. All sides were allowed to bring in recruits to play in the tournament. The O-league has only been won by Waitakere United as this is the second year of the O-league.

Technically he is correct no one has won the Treble of NZFC League, Grand Final and O-League. Might be symantics but he is right.

Hardy a great thing that no one has ever done the treble if it is only in its 2nd year of existence...

I agree with you. Auckland have won the treble, just because the competition was called something different it was still essentially the same thing.
