Simple speed and counter..
Yep, so easy to counter, and they are absolutely rapid.
China a lot more dynamic with the ball than us.
AW's with 69% possession, but China have worked some decent chances and aren't afraid to shoot...

Farkin hell this would be a game to be at. Should have taken leave.
China almost scores and Tom Payne saves our balls, then multiple damn good shots in that passage of play.
0-0 seems unlikely.

Wasn't that bad of a shot from Boxall.
Height and curl was nice.
Chinas defense is just so smothering. This is how you park a bus.

Genuinely enjoying all these attempts at rocketing it in from outside the box. That's the spirit. One of those will land soon and break the goal drought. Much better having that intent than all the possession in the box and not knowing what to do with it.

NZ struggling with a lack of height frustratingly. Likes of McCowatt Just Rojas very technical but almost trying to pass it in at times.
Some well hit shots by the guys further back - Chinese defence doing well to block a fair few.
With the amount of shots we're getting on - surely, surely we'll score today.

Bahaha very unconfident, tbh a lot of pressure on him to end the drought but I'm happy with the effort so far.

So bad in front of goal we had to get China to show us how it's done. 😅

I just wish they just scored a well worked open play team goal. It would do wonders for their confidence.

So was 600+ minutes since they scored against an opponent outside of Oceania?

With Boxall and Rojas both starting we look so much better.
Why did those two just about never play under Hay, personality clash, not from the same school that he coached at etc?

TBF for the pen that's supposed to be the highest % success rate.
The problem is a) you gotta be good enough to make the goalie pick a direction and B) you look like a dick if you screw it up.
He should have at least blasted it and kept running in case the goalie dropped it.
As for the goal, fudge it, still counts.

We still appear to have zero plan for actually scoring goals, but i expect bazeley to be made permanent after this 'upset'

Half an hour to go. This upset doesn't seem settled to me.

Great run by Garbett. Great spot and pass by Bell. And great finish. Nice.

Just another great example of it being easier to defend a lead when you keep attacking.
