With the first goal after 90 seconds I was thinking this.could easily end up a blood bath.
But good on Tahiti for making it tough for us to break them down again. And the 3-0 scoreline probably doesnt do Tahiti justice for how disciplined they ended up being in defence.
We really need to be getting Chris Wood involved more often. I understand against the likes of Mexico and the USA when we struggle the ball to him, but against lower ranked opposition like today we really should be finding him much more frequently.
I'm guessing Rufer must be considered 3rd choice captain behind Wood and Cacace - I'm happy to see he's considered a part of the leadership group.
The heat was probably a factor but we will most likely need to step it up a bit against Malaysia on Monday.
