That is true but I though the 2012 OFC Nations Cup was rushed, the 2016 OFC Nations Cup will be a round robin format so every team has a fair chance.

Not Spain methinks.

Germany are the new Spain...

I see Argentina as just as likely to win the next Copa America as Brazil.

NZ are clear favourites to win the OFC Nations Cup with it being played home and away.

But I pick New Caledonia to form our main obstacle - they have a defender (also plays midfield) who's a first choice for Lorient in Ligue 1 in France now (15 caps but missed the qualifiers for the last World Cup) plus a striker from Ligue 2 (George Gopes-Fenepej at Troyes, currently on loan to US Boulogne) and Mikael Partodikromo, a young midfielder at Sheffield United, plus four others from the French lower leagues.

There must be two Mikael Partodikromo's then considering the other was playing at David Farrington Park for Team Wellington a fortnight ago..

Agreed, but haven't Germany already qualified as WC winners, so if they win the Euros then the runner up goes to the Confeds?

I reckon France are a pretty good bet to be honest.

To be honest, I would never bet on the French to be honest ... about anything. ;)
