Auckland is my geographically closest team and them getting home finals would be ideal. The season for the nix is a write off not because of AFC, it's because they are useless. I'll enjoy Aucklands run and hope a NZ team gets silverware.
I know the Port will be even more insufferable if they win the title, but I’m slowly coming round to the point of view that it’s still better for a kiwi team to beat the Aussies.
Yes of course it pains me as a Nix fan, but it’ll be good for NZ football and that’s good for us in the long run.
(That’s me faking being a grown-up about it while I go cry in a corner.)
