Malo  and welcome to Season 3 Episode 73 of Breakfast Bites, by  TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika Peoples sports on this warm but  wet Tuesday morning 13 December 2022, coming to you from paradise on the  180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean ! In the FIFA World Cup in Qatar – it  is estimated by the Association of English Pubs that more than 15  million pints of beer was drunk during the England-France World Cup  game, before Harry Kane missed that penalty. Can you imagine the amount of tips, bonuses and overtime bar staff have made so far? Damn now the British media and public will turn their attention back to Rishi, inflation and the big freeze. In rugby union – if Samoa  can win the Cape Town 7s, beating the All Blacks 7s twice, South  Africa, Argentina and the rest with a totally homegrown crew, why can’t  Fiji? Taking nothing away from our Samoan brothers as they are playing brilliant 7s rugby, while Fiji is simply not firing. In  rugby league – a new era will kick off for the NRL in 2023 with the  Dolphins making one of the most anticipated entries in the NRL's  history. Legendary Head Coach Wayne Bennett will lead the new franchise  for at least the next two seasons, ensuring the Club will be firing from  the start. In  boxing – Philippine boxing great Manny Pacquiao returned to the ring  Sunday for the first time since retiring from the sport last year,  beating another YouTube wannabe, South Korean DK Yoo in an exhibition  near Seoul, South Korea to raise money for Ukraine and homeless  Filipinos. And  the IBF World Bantamweight Champion female fighter, Ebanie Bridges has  just dropped her latest video on adult members-only site - “Only Fans”. Not bad for a skanky stripper!

Malo  and welcome to Season 3 Episode 72 of Breakfast Bites, by  TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika Peoples sports on this cloudy  Monday morning 12 December 2022, coming to you from paradise on the  180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean ! In the FIFA World Cup quarterfinals in Qatar – an  estimated 20 Million TV viewers in Britain watched their FIFA World Cup  quarterfinal loss to France – this is the highest viewership of any  event on television in Britain this year. Meanwhile  tens of thousands of English fans have abandoned their accommodation in  Qatar and sold their tickets to the semifinals and finals of the FIFA  World Cup to trudge back home in tears still wondering how the hell did  their Captain, Harry Kane miss that penalty. In rugby union – Samoa  has won the HSBC Cape Town 7s, beating the All Blacks 7s 7-12 for the  title and earlier beating South Africa 7-10 in their semifinal and  Argentina 10-22 in the QFs. Fiji beat Los Pumas 5-29 for a disappointing  fifth place and USA beat South Africa 22-14 for third. The Australian men are still hung-over from their win in Dubai and Team Fijiana finished a disappointing 7th. In rugby league – NRL  players take heed: A former Bulldog, Rabbitoh and Rooster -  Sandy “The  Sandman” Campbell, played 93 first grade games in the 80s and 90s and  was a star. Now 56 years old, he is homeless, sleeps on a beach and is often spotted at a St Vincent de Paul shelter collecting a hot meal. In  boxing – UFC282 yesterday ended in controversy, with Paddy Pimblett of  England awarded a shock win by unanimous decision over Jared Gordon of  the USA and the main event ending in a split decision between #3 Jan  Blachowicz of Poland and #4 Magomed Ankalaev of Dagestan, Russia so the  UFC Light Heavyweight Championship remains vacant. Me thinks UFC is tainted by fixed fights favouring fighters big on social media. And  in the IBF World Bantamweight female title fight between those hot  Aussie chics, Ebanie Bridges stopped Shannon O’Connell in the eighth  round in Leeds, England yesterday and had this to say, “Not bad for a  skanky stripper I must say, not bad for a skanky stripper.” “She came, she was hungry, she was fierce, she can hit, she can bang. But I was better, and that’s why I’m the champion.” For  TeivovoSports.com I’m Culden Kamea - Mahalo, vina’a and thank you –  please hit the subscribe button below if you would like to receive more  Pasifika sports highlights on Breakfast Bites.

In the FIFA World Cup quarterfinals in Qatar – Cristiano Ronaldo is out, after Portugal crashed one nil to Morocco in Qatar this morning. En-Nesyri scored late in the first half and Ronaldo came on early after the break, but could not help his country. In the last quarterfinal this morning, France beat England 1-2 after Harry Kane missed a penalty to force a draw. With only four games remaining, visitors to Qatar for the FIFA World Cup 2022 have been far less than the 1.2 million initially expected. A government report says Qatar has welcomed 765,859 visitors over the first two weeks, with more than half the people who came already gone. Fiji lost to USA 17-7 in the Cup comp of the Cape Town 7s Cup quarterfinals this morning. In the other quarterfinals, New Zealand thumped Uruguay 50-0, Samoa 22-10 Argentina and South Africa just beat Great Britain. Team Fijiana lost to the Black Ferns 26-21 and also lost to USA Women 10-7. In rugby league – Tongan star Felise Kaufusi reflecting on the RLWC: “I don't know if you can say we started a revolution, but there's a lot of sacrifices that some players have made, Jason Taumalolo in choosing Tonga over New Zealand and Andrew Fifita, it’s massive for the game”. “I just hope that the next crew of Pacific Islanders that come through know that it's okay if they want to play for Tonga or Samoa, Fiji, Cook Islands or Papua New Guinea; to represent their humble little nation. I think it just makes for a better competition,” he added. In boxing – we’re counting down to the IBF World Bantamweight female title fight between hot Aussie chics, Ebanie Bridges and Shannon O’Connell in England this morning. At the weigh-in yesterday, the Champion Bridges displayed a tattoo with “Only Fans” and her account name on her stomach. Wanna watch?

In  the FIFA World Cup quarterfinals in Qatar – Brazil is out after Neymar  scored in the first period of extra time, but Croatia equalized late and  then won the penalty shootout 4-2 to leave Brazilian fans around the  world heartbroken and in tears. In  scoring, Neymar equaled Brazil legend Pele's 'official' goal scoring  record of 77 for the Brazil national team from 124 games for Brazil, while Pele's goals came from only 92 games. Pele also won three FIFA World Cups with Brazil in 1958, 1962 and 1970. Meanwhile  Lionel Messi guided Argentina past the Netherlands in their  quarterfinal, scoring in their 2-2 draw and then again in the penalty  shootout for a 4-3 win and a semifinal against Croatia. In the Cape Town 7s Day One - Fijiana beat Britain 10-19 and Brazil 10-31 and play New Zealand at midnight tonight. Fiji Men trounced France 33 nil and play South Africa at 10.19pm tonight. Samoa beat Uruguay 10-21 and play Japan at 8.29pm. While Great Britain beat Australia 19-21 and in another major upset - Spain 14-10 All Blacks 7s. Ouch that will hurt the All Blacks brand back in Kiwi land. In  rugby league – Felise Kaufusi who recently returned from Rugby League  World Cup duties with Mate Ma’a Tonga, is still a few weeks off joining  his Dolphins teammates on the field for preseason training in early  January 2023, but he’s liking what he is seeing from the players  slogging it out in the Queensland sun.

In  Breaking News – US WNBA Basketball star, Britney Griner has been  released from jail in Russia after a prisoner exchange with  notorious  Russian arms dealer at Abu Dhabi Airport. US President Joe Biden and VP Kamla Harris spoke by phone with Griner and the call included Griner’s wife. In  rugby union – here’s the thing about the sackings of Wayne Pivac by  Wales Rugby Union and Eddie Jones by England – they were both contracted  until the Rugby World Cup in France next year, so first up they will be  compensated for having their contracts terminated early. Second - if –  both teams lose out in France, these guys can’t be blamed. So you gotta wonder about the thinking behind both sackings. The Cape Town 7s start tonight. In  rugby league – no other sport has a chance of trying to attract any  interest right now with the FIFA World Cup on in Qatar where we tip  Brazil to bamboozle Croatia and the Netherlands to ninja Argentina  tomorrow morning, and Morocco to mambo Portugal and France to fringo  England on Saturday. Wayne Bennett has confirmed the Dolphins are in talks with Tessi Niu. In  boxing – UFC Prez Dana White has caused a social media uproar by saying  football is the least-talented sport ever with the eyes of the whole  world feasting on the FIFA World Cup on in Qatar. The Fury vs Usyk fight is on in February or March 2023. And  finally, FIFA President Gianni Infantino has faced heavy backlash  leading into the Qatar World Cup - but we can all still agree he's a  vast improvement on predecessor Sepp Blatter. Amongst  his many indiscretions, the disgraced former chief of world football  once suggested female players "wear tighter shorts" to put more eyes on  the sport. Ha ha no comment.

So, is Scott Razor Robertson lost to New Zealand? In  rugby league – the Eels are desperate; having offered playmaker  Mitchell Moses a A$1Million per season extension, he is yet to accept,  as he weighs up more money from other Clubs. Both Moses and his halves partner Dylan Brown are now free to negotiate with rivals for 2024 and beyond. And  the Newcastle Knights have signed a pair of Super League young guns,  Kai Pearce-Paul and Will Pryce for two years for the start of the 2024  season. Pearce-Paul, 21, has been one of Wigan’s best players since  making his debut in 2020 and is hyped as England’s Sonny Bill Williams. In  boxing – Mills Lane, one of the most well-known and respected referees  in professional boxing, celebrated for his no-nonsense demeanor and  pre-fight catchphrase “Let’s Get It On!”, passed away Tuesday morning in  his hometown of Reno, Nevada. Mills was surrounded by his two sons and his wife Kay. He was 85. As for the most complete fighter he ever refereed? That distinction went to Sugar Ray Leonard. “Leonard  is probably one of the best athletes ever in this sport,” Lane said in  an LA Times interview. “God gave some men a lot of talent and only a  little bit of character. Other men got a little bit of talent and a lot  of character. Sugar Ray, he got it all.” For his efforts and contributions, Lane was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2013. Rest in Peace bro.

In  not so breaking news - Pivac is being replaced by fellow Kiwi and  former Wales Head Coach, Warren Gatland who has agreed to a sensational  comeback from the Chiefs in New Zealand Super Rugby. This,  effectively saves Eddie Jones’ neck, as some reports suggest that the  Rugby Football Union had a sneaky little plan to backstab Fast Eddie and  install Gatland as a caretaker Coach. In  rugby league – a new NRL salary cap is set to be finalised this week  which will see a pre-Christmas rush of player signings, according to The  Daily Telegraph. So  Souths Latrell Mitchell, Cody Walker and Damien Cook will all be able  to extend their contracts. So too will Brian To’o at the Panthers. A  new NRL salary cap will also likely send Eels forward Nathan Brown to  Wests Tigers and trigger Sea Eagles veteran, Marty Taupau to also move  on. In boxing – English football legend, Wayne Rooney says that Tyson Fury should be knighted: “He’s  an absolute legend. His mentality is incredible. He’s won titles abroad  and defended them abroad. He epitomises everything that boxing is. I  think he should be knighted.” Hear, hear I say! “Arise Sir Tyson.” The other question is – how soon before Tyson Fury gets to defend his Heavyweight crown at his beloved Old Trafford? That must be one of his dreams.

The fullback is expected to sign a four-year extension worth more than A$1Million per season - and he’ll be worth every cent. Also off-contract at this season-end, Damien Cook and Cody Walker are the next two priorities that South Sydney must try and keep. If the Bunnies have to choose they should go with the former, as a good Hooker is arguably tougher to replace. In boxing – Tyson Fury plans 12 fights in 12 months featuring five Wembley blockbusters and a seven-stop world tour in 2023 with a showdown against Olexsandr Usyk in March, followed by fights in Australia, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, a return to the US and either China or Macau.

Underway at 7am  this morning Portugal vs Uruguay at the Lusail Iconic Stadium. In rugby union – The  ground announcer at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff mispronounced  Mark Nawaqanitawase’s surname minutes before the Wallabies ran out for  their Test against Wales last weekend. But by next year’s RWC in France, Nawaqanitawase could very well be a name on everyone’s lips. In  rugby league – speculation is bubbling along in England that their  rugby union Head Coach, Eddie Jones is going to make the switch of codes  to Coach his beloved South Sydney Rabbitohs in the NRL comp back in  Australia. This, after England’s worst run of results since 2008.

Malo  and welcome to Season 3 Episode 59 of Breakfast Bites, by  TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika Peoples sports on a bright and  sunny Monday morning 28 November 2022, coming to you from paradise on  the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean ! In  Qatar at the FIFA World Cup today: Upsets were the order of the day as  first Costa Rica 1-0 Japan, then Morocco 2-0 Belgium, Croatia 4-1 Canada  at Khalifa International Stadium, leaving Germany with everything to do  against Spain at 7am this morning, to keep their hopes alive. Meanwhile  a female Argentine TV station reporter, Dominique Metzger claims money  and documents were stolen from her handbag as she interviewed and danced  with fans before the Qatar versus Ecuador FIFA World Cup game in Doha  on Sunday – more on that later. In rugby union – Rugby  Australia has floated the idea with their trans-Tasman neighbours, New  Zealand Rugby about fielding a combined ANZAC XV against the British and  Irish Lions in 2025 with the prospect of 100,000 fans packing the MCG  for the rugby extravaganza. NZR is considering the idea. Awesome  and you know why? The Pacific Islanders Team featuring the best from  Fiji, Samoa and Tonga well they can be touring again as the next cab off  the ramp. Thanks Charlie! In rugby league – ARLC  Chairman Peter V’landys has confirmed the ORIGIN eligibility rules will  be reviewed following widespread calls for tier-one players to be able  to take part. Under current rules players cannot represent either  Queensland or NSW after playing for another tier-one nation other than  Australia. The  Titans are eyeing Cowboys young gun Jeremiah Nanai as a contingency  plan should David Fifita move on to another Club. Meanwhile, Broncos  forward Keenan Palasia has requested an immediate release from the final  year of his contract with several Clubs interested to sign him. In  boxing – Jermaine Franklin claimed he was robbed after he lost a  majority decision against Dillian Whyte in their tough 12-round fight at  Wembley Arena yesterday. Whyte now has his eyes on a 2023 rematch with Anthony Joshua who was at ringside: “I’ll fight Joshua tomorrow for less money.” So continuing with the story about the Argentinian TV journo who had cash and docs stolen from her. The  robbery wasn’t caught on camera, but Dominique Metzger believes it  happened as she danced with fans, with her bag hanging from her  shoulder. She  reported the theft to the Qatari authorities soon after, only to be  baffled when Police officers asked her what kind of punishment she  wanted for the thief. “The  policewoman said to me ‘We have high-tech cameras everywhere and we are  going to locate him with face detection. What justice do you want when  we find him? What sentence do you want us to give him?” Huh? Sharia Law or what? I think Dominique dropped the charge!
