He has scored 14 goals from his 19 caps for Fiji. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Hate Scouse 10,327 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Never even heard of it or half the countries involved. Is this a competition for the lower half of the world rankings that can't qualify for anything? A sort of Micky Mouse competition as such.....

Or was it WC qualifiers?Yeah, We (Australia) beat American Samoa 31-0 in a WC qualifier in 2001.http://en.wikipedia...._American_SamoaThis is the OFC Nations Cup but it also the Second round of World Cup qualifiers for the OFC Zone. The top 4 teams of this tournament go through to the third round in the OFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccioso 2,545 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Fiji and the Solomons' have really improved. Back when we were in the OFC, whenever Australia or New Zealand showed up you could guarantee the former two would have a bollocking handed to them but that's changed a bit now.No idea how showers of shit like Vanuatu and Samoa are rated ahead of PNG.

Ollie 4,400 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 so Samoa are above Tahiti in the rankings and Tahiti won 10-1? This seems an epic tourny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccioso 2,545 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 It's for countries in the Oceania continent....doofus. It's like the Euros except better.I am firmly of the belief that this is the greatest international football tournament there is. There's usually massive amounts of goals every game, such entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
