New Zealand U-23s - Quali Whites
Updated at 6:26 am today
The All Whites coach Ricki Herbert has told Australian television that he won't be taking over from Neil Emblen as coach of the New Zealand Olympic football team.
In an appearance on ABC's Breakfast Show in his other role as Wellington Phoenix coach, Herbert said he would "definitely not" be taking the reigns for the OlyWhites from his sometime-assistant with the senior national team.
Emblen is in charge of the under-23 team as it prepares for the London Games qualifying campaign in Taupo, which starts against Papua New Guinea tomorrow.
Herbert went on to explain that should the team qualify for London he would be a technical director to the team and would work alongside Emblem.
The Olympic football competition is made up of mainly under-23 players with three senior players allowed in the XI.
Don't think so. I think they are beyond being embarrassed, they will probably just twist it in a way to keep knocking him - waiting for 'Herbert shows lack of commitment to national teams'.

It's opinion pieces from a.group of people who are perpetually wrong, generally have rival agendas and are given more airtime than their writing or recent involvement wih the sport justifies.

who's that in this picture?
PNG a potential Banana Skin. Fwank in charge, average Oceania refs, and raw talent. We need to be switched on.

Someone mentioned earlier that it will be streamed live on the OFC site. assume overseas viewers will also have access to this content?
After a one day break on Wednesday, the PNG side missed out on a goal, losing to Gold Coast Knights 3-2.
site for streaming - you have to register first. First game about to kickoff (Solomons v Fiji)
