The OFC Cup of Nations is serving as Round 2 of the Oceania qualifying process. The top 2 teams from each group advance to the semifinals of the OFC Cup and to the 3rd round of qualifying. The tournament is taking place in the Solomon Islands. Friday, June 1 Samoa 1-10 Tahiti Vanuatu 2-5 New Caledonia Saturday, June 2 Fiji 0-1 New Zealand Solomon Islands 1-0 Papua New Guinea Sunday, June 3 Vanuatu 5-0 Samoa Tahitia 4-3 New Caledonia Monday, June 4 Papua New Guinea 1-2 New Zealand Fiji 0-0 Solomon Island Tuesday, June 5 New Caledonia 9-0 Samoa Tahiti 4-1 Vanuatu Wednesday, June 6 Papua New Guinea 1-1 Fiji New Zealand 1-1 Solomon Islands Standings Group A Tahiti 9 pts +13 New Caledonia 6 pts +9 ---------------------------- Vanuatu 3 pts -1 Samoa 0 pts -23 Group B New Zealand 7 pts +2 Solomon Islands 5 pts +1 ----------------------------- Fiji 2 pts -2 Papua New Guinea 1 pts -2 Semifinals Friday, June 8 Tahiti 1-0 Solomon Islands New Zealand 0-2 New Caledonia Sunday, June 10 3rd place: New Zealand v. Solomon Islands Final: Tahiti v. New Caledonia Quite a shocker seeing New Zealand lose. Australia and New Zealand have won every OFC Cup until this year. The winner of Tahiti/New Caledonia will advance to the Confederations Cup next year.
I'm behind Tahiti in this one for two reasons. 1) I spent my honeymoon in Tahiti 2) I didn't even know New Caledonia was a nation?!?! Is that near Eritrea?? Man, I wish Rick Perry would hurry up and secede from the United States! A Texas National Team could probably be competitive in WC qualifying. We'd have Clint Dempsey up top, and we could give Juvechelsea a call up on defense. He played college soccer, he told us a million times

And Thomas Rongen isn't even coaching New Caledonia! It's not a qualifier, but just fyi, Brazil and Argie are playing in a money grab...er...uh...I mean friendly in NJ this afternoon. It's apparently on Gol TV at 2 pm. Brazil is using the same Olympicish team that played the US and Mexico. Argie is supposedly bringing Messi.

I know it's a friendly, not a qualifier, but you should see these goals from the Brazil x Argentina game on Sat in NJ. If nothing else, watch the last Messi goal.

Qatar is already burning. Isn't that the problem people have with them hosting???????? I hope Ghana utterly fails. But part of me wants a "3rd time is a charm" game, too.

I want to see Zambia make it out of that group I liked the run they had in that African Nation's Cup.
