AkCity FC At The FIFA World Club Cup

Stick those laser pointers up your asses

So basically exactly what I said?

Glad I didn't watch all of that for a loss on pens.

Good stuff Auckland, always happy to see a NZ team do well overseas!

Congrats City, had everyone in the office watching!!

Well done acfc. It doesn't matter at all about the quality of the game, it is the result, and you got it. Great day for nz football

Yeah, I guess.  I started typing that ACFC deserved the win more, but just couldn't quite do it!  Maybe if it had been 90' rather than 120' I might have been able to do it, but that last half hour really knocked me about!

Top win. Proving they aren't bunnies in Rabat

.

Is there 'not this' button yet?

 

Let's not chase that pun too far down its warren.

The money was a big carrot I guess.

Well done ACFC

Cue posts around how they have saved football in NZ for 2 years.

It's all got a bit Harey here.

Thank you ACFC for winning NZF more moneys.

oh how i wish our beloved wellington phoenix could be as good as auckland city.....  again proving they are at least the 6th best team in the world....

how much money for NZF when we beat wanderers in the final?

Probably about as much as TAB are paying for that result

Pulled a Rabat out of the hat

Interesting negative comment considering ACFC have, once again, achieved an exceptional result against both Uzbekistan and now the Moroccan champions.

Clean sheets (bar for penalties) against both too. Well played Tamati!

Nice positive comments chopah - nice one!

I'm over the moon.

Would love to see Auckland City in the A-League and I hope it one day happens.

I wouldn't. CWC would not happen that way.

Damn, Moghreb Tetouan were so close to becoming world champions. Must feel bad knowing it couldve only been 1 pen away

But if you are the 5th best team in the world are you not? You should be able to sweep the HAL, make a convincing case as to why you should be in, then get through the AFC teams without breaking a sweat all before lunchtime and NZF realising that they have put their infinite millions into the Phoenix in error all these years.

(this may or may not have used sarcasm)

No shame in being the 2nd best team in the world. Real Madrid aspire to be that...

Such a privilege to even get to play ACFC imo. What a honor it must have been

 

Funny innit. Once upon a time I would have been absolutely stoked by this ACFC result. Kiwis on the world stage, doin' it!

But you and your friends (or multis?) and your insistent trolling on here has gradually made me more and more apathetic about it all.

I suppose overall it's good for the game here because of the money and the exposure it brings.

I may or may not have slept through the first half but either way in the second half the commentator was almost constantly talking about how good ACFC's center halve was (Dodovic or something similar). Anybody else think he is good enough to possibly be a future Phoenix CB or not?

Based on the sending off in the 4-0 defeat against Team Wellington a fortnight ago.  No.

Team Wellington provided much more of a threat to City than the Morrocans did.

I for one refuse to be influenced by the ACFC fans on here and the constant battle between them and the other forumites - this is a great result for ACFC and for NZ and this was re-inforced to me by watching people at work today huddle around and watch ACFC in the pens and giving an NZ team support.

FYI - it's possible to be an ACFC fan and a Nix fan!

While I agree with Smithy to some extent, putting aside all the A-League / ACFC / Phoenix crap for a bit - it's a great result for ACFC today.  

Their fans and all of NZ football should be happy for the lads.  Hopefully the momentum built will give them some confidence going into the next game.

Does anyone know the time and date of the next game on sky? 

I think we can all be bigger than to judge the whole club on the behaviour of a few muppets on here can't we?

I get a bit sick of the muppetry too but nevertheless I'm stoked for ACFC. I'll never support them with the passion or dedication that I support the Nix but I wish them all the best at the CWC. Good on them and good luck for the next game.

Next game is on  13th Dec 16.00 local time which will probably be the same time as today. Plus 13 hours local time.

I agree entirely it's definitely possible to be an ACFC fan and a Nix fan!! I go to every ACFC game at Kiwitea Street but it doesn't stop me from watching the Phoenix and wanting them to do well and I'll definitely be there at Eden Park on Saturday supporting the Nix. Our first teams play in different comps we shouldn't be rivals. 

I am with Chopah. Can be a fan of both. As much as there are 2 trolls here, there are equally a few yf trawlers, see JV post above, which are as much a waste of space

Also worth mentioning when the two teams played last year at Kiwitea in the after match speeches I clearly remember ACFC board member Mitch Herceg stating "We support the Phoenix" and the Nix were one of the first clubs to congratulate ACFC on this morning's result. To me it goes to show the two clubs actually get on and are supportive of each other so I can't see why some ACFC trolls don't accept the existence of the Phoenix and constantly send abuse. It's a false rivalry a one way rivalry. It's dumb. 

I'll support any kiwi football team playing against any non-kiwi team so I'm happy with the result. But the attitude of the ACFC trolls on here means that I sincerely hope that every other ASBP side smashes ACFC every time they meet.

Even as an ACFC fan I fully understand I'd get pissed off after a while with the trolling on these forums 

Haha, all good. To be honest, more than it pissing me off the attitude amuses me. I kind of enjoy the silly rivalry, because it is so dumb.

Anyway back to the topic of this thread I hope Auckland City can put up a good performance against ES Setif on Sunday the prize money always comes in handy. 

Well done ACFC. Looking to getting MySky a quick work out again on Sunday so can fast forward to the penalties.
