All Whites vs Mexico, Confederations Cup | Thur 22 June | 6am | Sochi | SS2

why is ingham still on?

Bill "Rory Delap" Tuiloma?

this is why i stopped watching the copa america

these fuc kers act like they've just lost all of their limbs on a land mine every time someone touches them

We play like this against Portugal, we will smash them

Kosta! Wood was fuggin clear!

some strike by Thomas - so unlucky

Then Thomas! Portugal must be terrified already!

Dura brain fade, Smith to the rescue.

Love a bit of handbags

4 mins to pull it out.... brawl! Box giving it.

Get in, lads! Sick of the negative Mexican time-wasting tactics!

Look at Smith ... have a go at me Bitch!!!

what a finish

As we used to say "that was all a bit gay".

Do they not stop the clock for the VAR?

Should be a card or two here.

VAR judgement day on Box.

Hold up, I thought VAR was only for red cards, goals, mistaken identity and penalties? Why did he stop the play to look at VAR if he's only giving a yellow? 

Retake free .... one day soon! Fudge me!

98 mins. Box pulled again!

Not sure the ref handled that game well.

lol

6 - 6 a fair result.

Mexicans? Mexi-cods more like

Great performance by us - really excited by that.

yeah, rubbish comment. durante has been class

Thomas outstanding. MOM no question. Still running box to box in final minutes. I like that wood straight up said in the interview i should have had to more and looked genuinely disappointed in himself.

Farcical end to the game but that was immensely entertaining and much better than out last 3 games. Wood won't have helped his chances of a PL move bombing a couple of those chances, could have been a different game if he'd taken one. Still, promising signs. Ingham should never have started and even after that should have been subbed off at half time given how often he was getting skinned. 

You have to wonder why we can play like that but we were so garbage in the Russia game and the two friendlies. What's going on?

Better performance. A loss is still a loss.

Um, so, um, why couldn't we have seen that kind of effort v Russia?  I know different opponents playing a different system, but we also looked a different beast...

We played really well on the first half but let's be fair, it had more to do on how bad was Mexico playing. In the second half they tried just a bit and came with two goals. A shame Wood couldn't take any of his chances besides the goal. And why the hell was Ingham starting? I think Roux would have done it way better. Still, great match from Thomas, Smith, Durante and Lewis. At least we were competitive and didn't look out of place at this level

I wasn't particularly impressed with Dura, he's been giving the ball away a lot.

Despite us all thinking Tuiloma should've started, I though Clayton didn't do himself any harm tonight in midfield.

Hudson IN??????? 

Yip, IMO (now, not before) yip, we need to keep him and we need to feed him every opportunity to take this team forward

agreed, but weemac was invisible. I thought he was playing in the deeper role.
