'Yeaaaahhh, Za-wa-da's on fire'
He's now reached that point where he fully believes in his own ability to be a proper goal-very-two-games kind of striker, maybe even more. The A League is clearly perfect for him.
He grabbed the ball when we were initially awarded one on Sunday.

Apologies, I wasn't actually at the stadium on Sunday, had to go into work and watch the game when I got home, same for the women. Must've missed it on TV, but very good to see.

Comes across as a great bloke - Humble and down to earth, but has a huge passion for the game, as well as the personality to boot.
Another Uffie masterstroke of a visa signing. This type of player is absolutely the way forward for the league. Happy we've got him for this season and the next.

His favorite players when he was growing up were Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Edinson Cavani and Edin Džeko. Plus he was behind Mario Gomez in Germany.
Awesome Oskar 😎!

If you were born in New Zealand on or after 1 January 2006
- a New Zealand citizen, or
- had a visa that allowed them to reside in New Zealand indefinitely.

Except if you are playing against Phoenix.
Gonna need his dad to stick around at the Nix for awhile for him to get a NZ passport, just being born here isn't enough anymore.

NZF should be pushing the Nix to extend Oskar's contract for however long it takes!

Too late for the 2026 World Cup but if the Nix can keep him that long, honestly might be worth giving him the Fornaroli treatment.
For me a lot of his goals have come from very little - he does a lot of the work out muscling players and we rarely give him tap ins. It's paramount we make the most of him next season because he is something special. We sure as hell aren't making the most of him this season. We are going to need a formation change and change in attacking personnel - I find it silly that our most creative player is currently Yan Sasse who really has been average at best up until the last few games.
Yeah there was this article from Rollo that shows his last 11 appearances with only the baby break. What I wonder is how much more could he have done if he got the service he should be getting "Zawada is only averaging 28.57 touches per game and 2.76 shots per game, which does not leave him with many opportunities to score."
