classic..
Daniel and Durante were asked to fill in the gaps in a series of lighter questions with the Australian often having the final word.
Q: Who's the fastest in the team?
A: Chinese import Leilei Gao and Vaughan Coveny, "who's got a lot of pace for a 37-year-old".
Q: Who's the best at `keepie-uppie' (a ball control exercise)?
A: Daniel and Leilei Gao.
Q: Who spends most time in front of the mirror before a game?
A: Rightback Vinnie Lia.
Q: And after the match?
A: Vinnie Lia.
Q: Who's more likely to hit the crossbar with a shot from halfway?
A: Midfielder Mick Ferrante "practises it a lot" and "Doddy (Karl Dodd) has got a decent boot on him".
Q: Who's got the strangest nickname in the team and why?
A: (from Durante): "If Daniel grew a moustache, he would look like Borat".

How is he eligible for citizenship after being in the country for 3 years, but I have to wait 5 years from when I got my residency.
Surely he falls under to new citizenship requirements that came into effect April 2005, where you can only apply for citizenship once you've been PR for 5 years, opposed to the old requirements of being PR who had been in the country legally for 3 years.
The only other option is for the Minister of Internal Affairs to grant citizenship due to exceptions circumstances - which comes with the proviso
The exceptional circumstances requirement is very difficult to meet. The public interest requirement means that the granting of citizenship must provide some "advantage" or "benefit" to New Zealand.

Does it mean that he's no longer classed as an import player for the Phoenix?

i dont think so because he still has to get his citezinship - could be wrong though

No, he needs to get full citizenship for that. I think he could easily meet the exceptional circumstances, he has been named Wellington's sports personality of the year, is possibly the biggest Nix hero and he does a lot of work in the community to pay that support back. Looks like he benefits NZ society to me.

Nah, the title is paraphrasing Daniel himself. Does this mean the press shouldn't be reffering to him as Brazillian anymore?

Also, isn't FIFA tightening the rules on country switching as well (or at least making concrete noises on that front), after a mass of Brazilians started turning up for Middle Eastern countries, etc?
I know that a figure of 5 years in the league of the country the player wants to play for is being mooted as an idea by the FIFA, so that wouldn't bide well for Daniel either.
If someone has more info/time to do research on this, feel free, I'm kind of busy right now to look into it in any great detail.

Given the perilous state and dwindling numbers of the world's gingers, The Scottish Executive has tasked the 13% of the Scottish population that is Ginger to re-supply the world's countries with Ginger offspring
This is know as Project Ginger Root(fest)
I'm doing my bit by marrying a ginger therefore ensuring the 100% likelihood of producing wee ginger nippers.

As I've mentioned my wife and I are expecting our first. Now, bear these facts; my dad was a skull-of-rust (it's now grey, of course), and, although I'm not (in fact these days I can only be either matt or gloss) my beard does sport more than its fair share of bronze.
There's a scan that we will have at 20 weeks that can determine the gender of the baby, hopefully it can pick up abberations of hair colour too.
I'll keep you posted...

Hair!! God, I remember those days.
How about a rounding rendition of the much used, rather boring, but quite apt chant of Kiwi, Kiwi, Kiwi for Daniel after his first, much anticipated and expected piece of brilliance on Sunday. Should lift the hairs on the back of his neck.

I once dyed my hair ginger on a dare...it actually looked kinda good. Until it sunbleached pink. Not the best hair colour for an Aussie bloke in a Kiwi high school

Yup, they changed it to five years at the recent Sydney pow-wow.

At least it means he isn't about to race off to an Aussie club or elsewhere, it seems he belongs to the Phoenix for as long as we want him.

The Sydney meeting in question where the change was made was only a couple of months ago, so the Reinaldo case doesn't apply anymore.

Unlikely, all through Euro 2008 they were talking about Senna as a Brazilian who got residency in Spain - imagine it will be the same here.

Senna has Spanish citizenship, residency isn't enough to represent a country in international football.
