"The Herald understands that the OFC executive was considering a vote of no confidence in Chung at that meeting, so his move may have pre-empted any such vote."

Yeah, nah, I agree. Nothing to this. A big misunderstanding. All I can see is some honorable football administrators doing honorable work for the good of the game. Must be a beat up. Can't believe this is even getting any media coverage. Hope it doesn't hurt that nice Mr Putin's World Cup.
Really looking forward to being able to know what the real scoop about Ngahue is

Yeah I'm just picking up on the politics around it all, any one able to give me a run down to date? All I know is I get to kick a ball there every so often and it's close to my place in GI...
If it's about the development of a home of football, I reckon there is a good chance of contracts being awarded to friends/relatives without proper tendering process.

In every sense, Oceania is a basket case. By Adrian Deans

But found a Gem
"To a large extent that, to my mind, justifies the place of Wellington in the A-League. We have a responsibility to keep football alive in the Confederation we abandoned, and indeed I’d take it further. As the A-League expands and acquires a second (and one day a third) division, why shouldn’t there be an Auckland team to create an NZ derby?"
This guy isn't wrong. Also from his story...
New Zealand might have to be convinced, now that they are all but guaranteed to play at every World Cup Finals going forward, but the opportunity to join Asia (including the Asian Champions League) should be a major enticement and they’d still be a fair chance with the likes of China, Thailand, North Korea and American Samoa to take one of the 5.5 places.
I agree. Even though it will suit us soon in WC qualifying, NZF should be selfless and aim to wind up the Oceania confederation and be in a 'West Asia' confed.
I would love to see this happen but not sure the overall mood for change exists across FIFA, AFC and OFC.
So he pays a pretty small fine (for someone of his stature), waits a bit and then can work on football again? That's what's wrong with Fifa... They should make an example of him and anyone else dealing and wheeling, but sadly they're a money making machine and corruption is rife.. Shame.
Roy Krishna carries his domestic form into the International game as he grabs the only goal of the game as Fiji beat Mauritius 1-0 in Lautoka.
Highlights from the game - Krishna goal at 58 minutes.
Earlier in the week Mauritius beat New Caledonia 3-1.
Solomon Islands kickoff their friendly against Chinese Taipei later on this evening.
remind me again who the All Whites played this weekend?

We played 2nd fiddle - to the other OFC nations who are surely more resource strapped than we are, but they at least are organising matches and getting their teams together.
Solomon Islands beat Chinese Taipei 1-0 thanks to a 1st half Benjamin Totori penalty.
it is very depressing hearing of these results
Side note, if you're on Spotify or iTunes or what have you, keep your eyes open for the Oceania football podcast.. Very good!
Surely Aus and New Zealand can start up an annual fixture. It doesn't need to have the top internationals but could be a "B" team game - one that would get the public interested and keep the "All Whites" brand in the public eye

I reckon the All Whites brand is just plain unreliable these days, you cant go playing second string players or not commiting games every windows and accept that it will make the brand look good. Retire the legacy and just call it the Mens National Team and use black as our main jersey.
Oceania confederation ordered to pay $412,000 to Auckland's Home of Football contractor
Now, in a judgment released Associate Judge Warwick Smith says it is claimed that the confederation paid for flights and accommodation for its staff and their families to travel to China for Chung's wedding, and the confederation is said to have made a $10,000 cash gift to Chung.
The judgment relates to a payment dispute between the confederation and construction company ESSL.
In June 2018 ESSL said the confederation owed it $558,000 for six unpaid invoices dated between February and April last year.
Stinks to high heaven. Clearly ESSL are dodgy AF
