Let's hope South qualifies for the Grand Final and we can get at least 20-30 Hellas fans across to Auckland.

All good mate, you I know you were.. Just also highlighting that I think THAT is the best path froward for a lot of these smaller nations.. Its amazing that a country like Tahiti can FINALLY have their national team players playing ina professional environment, can only improve them.

Yeah it's absolutely great. And hopefully the OFC Pro League serves as a pathway to the A-League and beyond. Much better than the current strategy of sending the good players to the regional divisions of Metro France.

This is going to lead to a congested fixtures for the 6 clubs that have not played their second match. In one scenario, if the postponed match was played in the Australia hub, then we could have our crowd and no extra travel time imposed that would impact NPL matches.

3 observations ....

1) I have really enjoyed the NZ commentary.
2) I have now heard 2 coaches needing an interpreter. When was the last time you heard an interpreter required?
3) Who is the lone young Hellas supporter?!!!
