AW v Chile Wed 9th 11:30pm

correct

Got nowehere near it. As I was watching live, I was thinking, hold the space don't rush up! And he does the exact opposite and opens the gates for them to score. He just doesn't read the game well.

Somehow that didn't go in

how did we not put that away!!

how the fuk do u miss that??????????

How the f**k did that not go in?

that was close for a goal by the guys.

oooo close

great chance there...

Also, was that a defence splitting pass from Christie?

peep

peep peep

did they actually just send on a sub for the last 30 seconds??

Who's on the left now ?

who missed the final shot?

Smith proving he's a Centre back, not a wide left player.  Acres for them on the left, where they were getting very little when Lochy was there.

I'm assuming that wont count as an official international?

to think i missed sleep for that

Well I'm sure this game has cleared up any decisions that Ricki had to make. except for BROWN!!! Who should be in SA asap!!!

I don't know who missed the final shot.  Have to get those on target at least.  They can't really make the goal much bigger.

Was it just my feed, or did Siggy and Lochy look fat and useless?

The last 30 mins showed that Reeeeeeki was right with his starting line up for the previous games

Nah it doesn't so the debutants don't get caps

All over - the game pretty much just underlined we have a core of 15-16 players who can hold their own to a greater or lesser extent at this level, and the rest of the guys are pretty much just passengers who should counting their lucky stars that they're New Zealanders.

I think it was Wood who missed james dean2010-06-10 01:28:10

FInal Score?

so we definitely can't afford any injuries then

I hope that's the last of the "Give Pleverly/Clapham/whoever a run" brigade...

Or their feeds. Zing... oh that's horrible, tired... sleep

While they were on it was 0-0.  Once Lochy went they started flooding down that left side.

I thought Siggy was on form, aggressive as usual and could make things tricky for Ricki

See what I did there.

Well only 6 days til the big day!!

Get excited!!!!!!

Chile 2 -- 0 New Zealand

2-0

Pitch didn't look particularly long, I wonder if that limited us a bit in attack. Not so much space between their defense and midfield when we were playing the longer balls forward looking for knockdowns.

McGlinchey was useful down the left. Unfortunately, the speed that he has was just as quick as the Chile players but at least it was quicker than the rest of the team.

Not sure about Smith, he was tidy and quick enough and seems to combine well, but it was hard for me to see with the feed I had. So I didn't play as much attention to the field and space than I would figuring out whos with the ball.

He and Siggy both looked quite porky on my feed.  Must've just been the feed as I'm sure they didn't both gain a heap in two or so weeks..  I missed the first third (internet sucks) but what I saw of Siggy I was far from impressed.

Wood didn't miss that shot at the end.  He got possession and teed up whoever missed it.

was pretty happy with that. Hard luck on Bannatyne. thought we may have got a pk at the end, Also unlucky with those misses. think with Nelsen we are a much stronger unit and with brown back, the paraguay game will be very tight.

we have to be careful of the counter attack and they are very good at getting in behind us

How do Paraguay compare to the Chileans, out of interest, does anyone know?  Don't need FIFA rankings thrown at me, I know them, something more worthwhile.
