5th Multi Ethnic "Mini World Cup" Tournament 2010

[QUOTE=footy4life]What the hell happend in the first game on pitch 1?! All the players left the pitch to fight with one of the teams warming up? Anyone know what started it?  [/QUOT

That was my fault. I suggested a bit too loudly that the West African Team was full of Albinos and their was a rush for the body part auction. Bloody Witch Doctors!!!

Like Bogan said I am all for a good time and a good competitive kick around. But when you have a team that has 14 Central League or Cap Prem players plus 4 NZFC players then things are just starting to get a bit stupid.

West Africas Team has, Andrew Abba, Jamie Mason, Luke Wilson, Michael Fiifii, Jimmy Haidakis, Mikey Halikias, Johnny Gerondis can't remember the rest but there was only one African Abdul from what I saw. Just makes it stupid for everyone else competing.

Well in a negative way, might aswell start the bobsled attack... im sure those boys can't run with one leg. and im sure they have a lot more to lose than any of you older blokes... then they might think twice about playing in a social comp and taking the piss..

Personally I would seriously look at the aims/kaupapa of such events if players were changing 'ethnicities' from year to year- Salmon072010-09-14 10:26:48

Well put Salmon..

Don't despair, learn fast and beat them at our own games. Include few more honourable ethnic players in your team from now on and if give them tattoo or body paint job  if necessary. Afterall, you get lily-white blonde Maori doing maori dance, why can't and why won't you do the same to your "ethnic" team? Ethic Tournament is just a name and underneath, you got to want to beat and win! Rules for those real ethnic immigrants or refugee arrivals will be impossible to police and implement because they will plead ignorance. Lateral thinking, mate.

Like I said alot of other teams have "honorary" citizens such as myself, last two years for Sudan, this year for Cambodia. However I have had alot to do with the Sudanese boys and have been playing regularly for Cambodia in the Sunday League etc.

Not everyone has the contacts to pull together such a team anyway,  I just think its crap that they are allowed to masquerade under the "West Africa" team name. Wouldn't have really cared so much if they had been say "EurosoloKiwiGreek"

Vatican City defaulting this weekend?

That's why we are called Eurasia

but yeah I can understand, if West Africa are as good as everyone said, I think they're gonna win it hands down this year.

Marist tourny in Napier this weekend - top 4 or so teams from the club will be up there. So no fielding a team - sorry. This was cleared with organiser when we entered our team

With the coming "storm", what are out chances of playing tomorrow?

yes please foxy/tayo..let us know asap so we can organize our teams. cheers

NONE! All games are off.

cool, thanks for letting us know.
see ya next week

so are all the games/grounds scheduled as per last week?

Re Vatican City v Fiji Airport: Just a couple of extra goals in our game and we would have been in business. Had heaps of chances in the second half to put in the goals we needed, but it wasnt to be. Best of luck to UK Kiwis for the tourny.
