2007 Mini World Cup in Upper Hutt

Hi Guys,

Hey Tayo, by Richie Macaws cousin i believe you mean me, lol. um yeah id be very keen to play in the novelty game for sure, just let me know what time and where and i will be there for it.

Sorry Tayo i wont be able to officiate 2mrw as i have to work, maybe next week if theres another novelty match

It for the novelty match between the finals. Its immidiately after the 3rd place match on the 13/10/07.

Hey Tournie watchers-i couldn't make the semis yesterday, had to work

Only saw a little bit of the Sudan vs Celtic game,  Celtic were up 5 - 2 with 5 mins to play.  Sudan had a lot of the ball in the 2nd half but just couldnt make the final pass to break down what looks to be a very good defence.

UK Kiwi run out 3 - 2 winners in the other game in extra time. after it being tied up at 2 - 2 in normal time with UK scoring with 3 minutes to go in normal time to send it to extra time.  This game was played at a good pace and in great spirit by both sides.  Zimbabwe took the lead after about the 30 min mark on the counter attack from a UK corner.  Uk levelled the score on the stroke of half time.  The game opened up in the 2nd half with both teams mounting some good attacks.  Uk Kiwiw missing some easy one on ones.  with 15 minutes left Zimbabwe took the lead again from a free kick just inside the UKs half.  The wind caught the ball and it drifted over the keeper into the back of the net.  With time almost up and the Uk side pouring forward in numbers.  A cross was delivered into the far post were the keeper went up for the ball in a crowd of the UK boys, he failed to hold the ball and it was a tap in from the UKs right back.  The protest went on for a foul on the keeper which were waved away by the lines man and ref.  Extra time was called for, 10mins each way.  About 5 mins into the first period the Zimbabwe keeper muffed he goal kick which went straight to a UK player who calmly played it through to his striker who made no mistake this time one on one.  The keeper getting a hand to it only to see it slide into the net.  Zimbabwe pushed forward and created a couple of good chances but just couldnt find the finish.

Sunday Celtic were just much too physically strong for us and played really well as a team unit, we had so many chances but just failed to take them well. A couple of soft goals let in by us didn't much help our chances and I did think at one point at 3-2 we were still in with a chance. Celtics strikers really took every chance they had very well and this proved in the score line. I think if we had taken more of ours the game would of been a different story. Well done to them though and all the best of luck for the final

I have refereed two games at the tournament thus far and have been thoroughly impressed by the attitudes of the players from each team. I think it's fantastic when we can have a tournament where people can come along and simply enjoy playing football.

check out the Police XI..shocking ay?

obviously, these bloody second halves..that's what let us down.

by the way, if you have a look at the goal scorers chart, you'll see there is a guy called Daniel who's got 2 goals, that must be Chile..his team didn't make it though. Think they only got one point in 3 games

yaeh bro at the office pop on up.
also yeah it was chile he got two goals in one game

Final tomorrow, what are the predictions for the Final UK Kiwi v Sunday Celtic, will either team stack their side? or just use the players who have got them to the final. UK Kiwi to win 3-2.

Well mate- I was an Celtic in the first two games, missed the last pool game and Semi

I play in the UK Kiwi side and no stacking will happen from us either.  It should be an open game with a few goals scored.  Of course we will score at least one more than Celtic.  

Just got to wonder how many times Pedro will tell me to go away go away.

With your young legs Spurs crazy,   Pedro won't be able to catch you to tell you to go away. If you don't get in his ear you'll be alright

Haha only young compared to the rest of the team.

celtic are a really good team unit, physically very strong and play well together, I feel their defence may let them down though, we cracked through it so much during the semi but lack of any finishing ability absolutely killed us, at the other end of the pitch they have two very good strikers who will be looking to have a crack from anywhere and back themselves well in 1v1 situations.

Not sure how we will go vs Zimbabwe..

Well that was a thrilling 3rd/4th play-off!! Zimbabwe up 3-1 at half time for us to come back and be level 3-3 all at the end of normal time! Ref called ten minutes extra time each way which I was well pleased with because I felt we were alot fitter than Zimbabwe were and it showed with us taking the game 5-3!! The guys were so happy with the result!

Big ups to Tayo and the whole organising commitee, was a really fun tournament and I absolutely enjoyed myself and will definitely be back next year to play again!!

Well done to UK KIWI on winning, third- fourth game was good to watch, Spurs crazy i hope that wasn't you that got a yellow card from Pedro how many times did he tell you to go away, he seemed a little pissed off when he gave the 2 yellows, the guy from Sunday Celtic had been causing abit of trouble with elbows and hacking ankles so deserved his and Uk Kiwi grabbed him round the neck lucky to stay in my view.

Well i did get a yellow,  first one of the game for the foul just outside the box.  Yeah he spoke to me a little bit but never heard the go away call from him.

Was a good game, and went from end to end.  I do think that Celtic were a bit scared to shoot. They played some good balls across the edge of the box but no one wanted to take the shot.  Yes was a good trophy presentation, and well done to all the organizer's. Job well done.

Well done to UK Kiwi

Its not like you  to yell at the ref spurs crazy... Who got golden boot? hope it wasnt you, as you know where most your shots end up.

Well Spurs, it was really just a couple of players at the back for UK kiwi who were using foul language

I was equal first going into the final games, Not bad for a centre back though.   Jimmy ( I think) from Zimbabwe got it.

(Well Spurs, it was really just a couple of players at the back for UK kiwi who were using foul language)
Haha! You know that is their traditional response to the pressure.

At least it wasnt me this time. 

Good Afternoon All,

it was great to see so many cultures out on the football pitch.. even though we lost the final we were pretty happy with how we went.

Wow quite humbled that I was up for MVP! You done an awesome job Tayo, even though there were a few heated arguments about different issues you always managed to keep on top of everything!! Well done to you all and we'll be back next year to win it!!

Well, next year is a long way off BUT we will be holding Wellington's version on March 29
