Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Hei tākaro mō Scotland ki Hampden, ka rere a Shaun Maloney i te 500 maero. Kātahi ka tāpiri i tētahi kore ki te pito. I te mutunga o te haerenga a Chicago Fire ki te kāinga hou o San Jose Earthquakes i te pō o te Rātapu, ka tūtaki te 32-tau-tau ki te tūturu o te ora i te Major League Soccer. He haerenga 5,000 maero mai i California ki Glasgow, e roa ana i te nuinga o te ra, mo te whakataetae hoa i waenganui o te wiki ki a Northern Ireland i whai ake i te whakataetae tohu Euro ki a Gibraltar. He iti noa iho te tokomaha o te hunga e haere ana ki ngā kēmu e rua. Kāore he utu pūtea. I haere a Shaun Maloney i te 5,000 maero mai i Chicago ki Glasgow hei tohu i tōna whenua. Ko Maloney, he kaitākaro nō Scotland, e tohu ana i te piro ki te Reipa o Ireland, e aroha ana ki te tākaro mō tōna whenua. E toru noa iho ngā tohu kei muri i ngā kaiārahi o te Rōpū D o Pori i te whakataetae kia eke ki Euro 2016. Heoi, e rima meneti noa iho te waea ki a Gordon Strachan kia whakapono ai ki a ia he mea utu te jetlag. Ka taea e te whakaritenga te mahi. "I whai korerorero mātou, he tino poto", te kī a te tangata i whai piro whakamiharo ki a Ireland i whakaohooho i te pakanga tohu whakamutunga a Scotland. <unk>Ahakoa he poto, he mea tino nui ki ahau. I pātai ahau ki a ia mēnā ka whai pānga kino ki taku mahi ao whānui (te neke ki te United States) a ka mea ia, "Kāore". Koina anake taku i hiahia ai kia mohio. He tino aroha ahau ki te tākaro mō tōku whenua. He tino whakapehapeha ahau, he honore hoki ki te mahi i tēnei, ā, ka whakapau kaha ahau ki te haere tonu ki te whakauru i te kapa ahakoa he aha te kapa kei reira au. Ko te āhua pea o tana whakaaro ina piki ake ngā maero rererangi, he take kē. I reira he kōwhiringa tata. He huarahi māmā ake ki te tāpiri atu i ētahi atu pōtae ki te rūnanga whakaatu. I te wehenga atu i te raruraru, i whakawehia a Wigan i te marama o Hanuere, he tono kaha mai i Leicester City. I a ia e korero ana i te hararei hotoke o Celtic ki Gran Canaria, i kii ano a Ronny Deila he hiahia ki te whakahoki ia ki Parkhead. "Ki taku whakaaro ko nga korero a te kaiwhakahaere o te Celtic ko ia anake te mea tino pai ki ahau hei kaitakaro", i kii a Maloney. He kaitākaro ahau i mua i a Celtic. Ko ahau...
I haere a Shaun Maloney i te 5,000 maero mai i California ki Glasgow. I uru atu te kaitapere o mua o Wigan ki te kapa MLS o Chicago Fire i te marama o Hanuere. E pai ana a Maloney ki te haere ki te whakawhiti i te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa ki te tākaro mō Scotland.
