That would be crazy, Im telling ya if the  Southland rugby team wins team over the year from the all whites, (which some union fans are suggesting) I will leave this country.

Ps: Bopman, do you post on pandasport???

Nope, I read and laugh at the absolute bollocks that gets spouted on Panda Sport. Southland will not win team of the year, jesus even I will leave if that happens. More likely a rowing team will be the AWs main contenders or one of the yachting crews that won a world title.

Wouldn't mind a rowing team winning it.

Don't think the All Whites should win it really.  Don't think qualifying is enough.  If they get to the second round somehow, that would be worthy.

They need to make the story accessible to a wide as possible audience. Unfortunately they have to worry about readership and making a profit. Until the general public becomes more aware of football this will continue to happen.


Yeah.  I pity the media.  If only they had some way of making the public aware of things other than rugby, then they wouldn't be stuck in this awful trap.

 I'd say Auckland City's recent endeavours put them right up there for team of the year

I would say they warrant a nomination ahead of the All Whites.

watch McCaw get sportsman of the year this year


McCaw is New Zealand's version of John Terry. Can't do anything wrong in view of the NZ media.

Three for me, and two for them.

Football wont surpass Rugby and it doesnt need to. I believe it can one day be as big as Rugby though. The biggest challenge is that college age gap where people stop playing.
