Without doubt, one of the greatest performances in Auckland FC’s short history. Remarkable.

@M1D3V Same

I was forced to come to the AFL but I just want to be on the couch watching #ADLvAKL

@MattBH93 Mate! Great to hear from you. I’d have Payne at RB, Surman for Bindon and Thomas for Garbett. Good options though!

@pineynz Piney!! Long time, hope you're well. My Xl Paulsen Elliot Boxall Bindon Cacace Bell Stamenic Garbett Singh Just Wood Thoughts ?

Looking at the big questions ahead of Thursday's All Whites @FIFAWorldCup squad naming; Who gets last midfield spot? 3rd keeper? Extra fullback cover? Tommy Smith v Bill Tuiloma? Any possible bolters? nzherald.co.nz/sport/football… @nzheraldsport @NZ_Football

@scott_walpole @newstalkzbsport Yes! Sims Roux Tuiloma Stanger McGarry Parker-Price Howieson Dibley-Dias Rogerson de Jong Brooke-Smith

@pineynz @newstalkzbsport Seeing as everyone’s predictions are virtually the same, what about a best 11 of people missing out?!

My All Whites World Cup squad. @newstalkzbsport

1 - Pia Vlok (@WgtnPhoenixFC) is the first teenager on Opta record (2016/17 onwards) to be directly involved in 10+ goals in their debut @aleaguewomen season (10 - 6 goals, 4 assists in 2025/26). Stellar. #ALW

@GregAFC Yeah it is and that’s why I’m over there. But hopefully there’ll be somewhere showing it!!

@pineynz Piney… isn’t Magic Round for the NRL on this coming fri/sat/sun. One would think you might be struggling to get football coverage at ground zero of NRL fever this weekend. But good luck

A bit of advice please, Brisbane-based football fans. Where in your superb city (preferably in or near Caxton Street) will be screening live A-League football on Friday night (Adelaide v AFC) and Saturday afternoon (MCY v WPX)? Thanks in advance.

@WarbzFC Accurate

@pineynz Woods looked to have a bit more in the legs for the celebration than Ifill did

Paul Ifill reminded me this is exactly what happened in the 2009/10 men's finals match against the Jets; he had a golden chance to win it in regulation time, but missed; he was devastated, but then scored in extra-time to send the Nix through. Same for Makala Woods today.

@josephesposito_ @Ryans_Rovers Top man, Joseph, thanks mate. If not, I'll just come to your place😂😂

@Ryans_Rovers @pineynz I’d ring ahead to the Lord Alfred, The Paddo or Last Man Standing. Given its FTA you should be able to get it on a screen at one of them.

@afc2024 Beauty, thanks!

@pineynz The only pubs I know of in Brisbane that have Paramount + are Sporting Globe Chermside and Sporting Globe Loganholme neither of which is close to the City but since the Final is on FTA it might just be worth asking at any pub except The Caxton if they will play the game

@matthews_adam I would love to be there. Unfortunately, work calls. I'll be tuned in though.

@pineynz Wouldn't feel right if you aren't at what could be our first silverware mate.

Its a little bit out of Brisbane, but AAMI park goes hard on a Saturday night....

Under-rated sign, this. #liquidfootball #tractionengine
