    A narrow 1-nil halftime lead over Tahiti didn't look likely for the All Whites, after Eli Just opened the scoring in the second minute in Vanuatu

    A narrow 1-nil halftime lead over Tahiti didn't look likely for the All Whites, after Eli Just opened the scoring in the second minute in Vanuatu


    The striker hammered home a left-footed stunner from near the top of the box, in the first game of their Oceania qualifiers for the 2026 Football World Cup.

    But there was no further scoring before the break... a short time ago it was still 1-nil to New Zealand... after 55 minutes.



    No joy for the Breakers on their US tour... where the Auckland basketball side were taking on NBA teams in their pre-season.

    The Breakers have dropped their third and final game... blowing an early lead and a 60-all stalemate at halftime in Oklahoma to go down 117 to 89 to the OKC Thunder.
