No miracles for Bilikiki team

Despite Cameroon’s shocking victory against Uruguay, there would be no miracles for the Bilikiki boys as they slumped to a 14-2 defeat to Portugal. There really is anything else to say - the result speaks for itself. Disappointing? Definitely. Unexpected? Not really. Portugal judging from past tournaments is the second best team behind Brazil and today they displayed that.

That heavy defeat left us on 3 points, equal to Uruguay. They however advance to the quarter-finals due to their better goal difference. We remain on third ahead of Cameroon. This probably wasn't the way we would've wanted to go out but coming into this tournament, we really weren't given any chance. We performed brilliantly against Cameroon, performed remarkably well against Uruguay and just met a fired up Portugal side today. Despite two defeats, we managed a win and therefore leave the tournament better than when we arrived.

All things considered, it was a successful tournament for us. The Bilikiki team represented the Oceania region and our country with pride and I'm sure the boys will be welcomed home as heroes which they truly deserve.

Cheers Bilikiki.
