I don't think Ernie knows how to deal with the Victory which is kind of ironic.

Oceania>Asia

Feel real bad for Fenton though, that's his third shoulder injury in 3 years, hope it's not too serious.

I'm not convinced that should have been a free kick for Adelaide but I think Stebre is a garbage ref so maybe I'm biased. Not to mention the poor defending from the set pieces.

We were all kinds of terrible. The ref was our best player tonight.

Ironically, Auckland did better and made it to the quarter finals.

oceania > asia

The last time the Nix played Auckland was in a preseason friendly last year which Auckland won iirc. There is a Wellington reserve/development team in the NZ league and they are doing ok so far.

There has been some talk about another Auckland team in the A league although I'm not actually sure how feasible it is as it lacks a decent stadium. Mt Eden is the obvious one but it would need to pull 12k+ crowds to break even, North Harbor is a ideal size but it is on the wrong size of the bridge and miles away from the rest of the city. Given that Auckland also supports the Warriors and Breakers I don't think there would be interest in a pro football team.

As to why we aren't in the AFC, I'm not sure. I think we would like to be but the AFC is massive already and I don't think they want to add anyone else, maybe if they split in east and west Asia but I really don't think that's going to happen.

E. Also the crowd at the game in Auckland vs ccm yesterday was pants, 11k when last season they got around 20k.

I hope the Nix move wherever this is permanently, looks awesome

It's pretty great but it's only temporary while the cwc is on.

That was a frustrating game to watch, Burns hosed up a tap in and now I don't get free pizza.

Aw, thats hosed, How was that gonna work? Pizza hut handing out 10000 free pizzas at the gate?

Hells pizza were handing out Nathan Burns masks at the gate, if he scored everyone who took the mask to a store would get a free pizza.

Sigmund and Riera both out for the nix. Burns, Krishna, McGlinchey, Griffiths all starting with 3 attacking players on the bench. Ernie going with the 'score more goals than the other team' approach.
