Day -739. WorldCup2018
Oh Frank! Fiji lost their final group stage match in the OFC Nations
Cup. Vanuatu beat them 3-2 but there is a silver lining for coach Frank
Farina. Despite missing out on a semi final spot in this tournament on
goal difference to Solomon Islands they did have a better goal
difference than Vanuatu and, as the third place team, move on to round 3
of World Cup qualifying. The dream of redemption for Farina is still
alive.
In today's other match New Zealand scored an 80th minute
goal to beat Solomon Islands 1-0. If New Zealand do indeed make it to
Russia it will be amusing to think that while they could be giving teams
like Germany and Brazil a hard time, 2 years previously they struggled
to beat Solomon Islands.
