Certified Legendary Thread From Injustice to International Cup glory - the Renee Tong story continues

[Moo]

Almost every one of those jumpers looks better than 90% of the AFL 'Reverse Strips'.

I'm all in on India finishing 9th.

Haha Alright, thanks There are some whopping scores though, Indonesia and India have been on the end of some smashings.

 

[whatis]

Turns out they even have live streams available for this thing. Hidden away on the afl website: http://www.afl.com.au/global/aflic14

Also match replays, although looking at the results it doesn't look like there have been too many close ones played so far that would be worth watching.

Some of the upcoming fixtures might be worth a watch though, like Ireland vs New Zealand who I'm guessing would be the top two teams. Probably could include Nauru and the USA 1 or Canada 1 teams in there too.

I saw tonga heading in to have dinner with her teammates at South Wharf a couple of nights ago, but I was in a hurry and couldn't stop to wish her luck. Good to see you in the bests Renee. Keep up the great work!

Apparently our red jackets stand out, especially when we travel in packs! If you ever see red jackets, feel free to say hi - we've had lots of fun chatting with the locals.

The Suns have a bye this week, but will be back in action on Monday the 18th against Ireland at 11 am at McAlister Oval. Hope to see you there/ have you follow along

Trust me, if I'd had time to stop and say 'G'day' I would have. 11am on a Monday is probably going to be difficult for a guy in the corporate machine but I'll see what I can do. I didn't stalk the Zwickers on Facebook to help get you out here only to miss out on seeing you play

Some more videos here, including some Canadian Midnight Suns games.

Some of these are not on the AFL website. I think the US and/or Canada have made some of their own videos.

That's correct, the Canadians have their own video. Some games have up to 3 video cameras going.

Northern Lights made the GF not the Midnight Suns.

 

[tonga]

Northern Lights made the GF not the Midnight Suns.

Yep, the Northern Lights made the GF, but the Midnight Suns are playing the 3 v 4 game tomorrow! Not too bad for a team that assembled itself in 2 days! We're going to be facing off against the USA's first team. Wish us luck! 11 am game at Royal Park for anyone that can make it.

And really... thanks again for everyone that helped myself and the team out along the way. Its been over a year in the making and now its down to the last game of the tourney. You guys are the best.

Will be barracking for you guys from the other side of the country tomorrow!

Heading to the Canada vs Tonga men's game soonish. Probably will only be able to stay for the first half. Will have my new Canada jumper on. Wave if you see me.

Was a pretty good game and a well earned win by the GOOD CANADIAN KIDS! Especially loved the hanger by the Canadian full forward (Koslowski I think?) for the first goal of the game and how fired up the Canadian bench got watching it. Definitely a step up in intensity from the first game vs China. Just a shame I had to get back to work and couldn't stay for the last quarter.

BTW, tonga that was me rudely interrupting your conversation at half time. I was so starstruck I forgot to introduce myself properly. Was lovely to meet you.

 

[Moo]

tonga - I think I might have left my reg grundies at yours last night?
