I'm not sure why anyone expected us to beat Kenya? Overestimation of us, or underestimation of them? We'll beat Chinese Taipei two or three nil, and then draw with India I reckon (0-0 or 1-1). Kenya v India final, NZ enjoying watching Avengers Infinity War on their flight home.

Given that both teams were playing basically their 3rd choice squads, I'm not sure anyone knew what to expect. The AW's played better football and had the Kenyan's pegged back in their own half most of the game. I think a lack of a real goal-scoring threat was identified by many people when the squad was announced and I guess it showed.
