AW v Mexico Match Thread 5pm SS1 Thurs4th

Leo is our standout player on attack. Hope he's half this good against the Jest.

sh!t camera work! Aw doing well. need some better ball in attack!
and whats with those f45kin horns? surely they wont do that thru the world cup?

Problems down our left.

We haven't had a chance since the corner early on. Mexico just need to find their shooting boots. Defence is promising though - better than Bolivia :P

too many passes going nowhere

Stream cuts out every 30seconds for me...

Los Mexicanos seem to be getting behind our defence no problems.

good to see sea monster playing well

Ooh, I'm learning spanish. "Saque lateral" = throw-in. :D

just keep the pressure on! let Mex make the mistakes

Still yet to conceed though, that's very promising against such a good attacking unit.

i love the animated commentating... ahhAHHHahh

"Ella se caido" = "she fell over" XD

no hay nada como el marr�n de tim, para la cosecha �l para arriba y poni�ndolo abajo

half time!!! ricki give some magic words

Halftime then?
Tommy's got some legs, keeping up with Gio pretty well

full credit so far guys.  Mexico has been very average in front of goal.  I wouldn't be surprised at all to me Carlos Vela start the second half.

Geez, the gLOLry last week, los Mexicanos today... have attacking formations the world over figured out Tony Lochhead?

Great stuff, all Mexico's shots have been from outside the box.

If the game was based on chances, Mexico are winning 20-2.
But both sides have been reduced to shooting outside the box or corners, and their radar is off.

Who knows what happens next - either they put a few away, or we hold out... don't see us scoring.

I simply cannot put into words how proud I am of the boys right now. Good to see Coombes stepping up, he might not be there yet but he's got a lot of potential if he can work on those crosses. A good result here and it might get Winston Reid to swing our way.

Am trying to watch on a stream at uni  - f**king impossible. Watched about 7 mins total - saw a header that went close from us.

I missed the start, but from what I've seen Lochy hasn't been all that bad. I think he's too much of a scapegoat these days.

very good stream from justin.tv even if they can't spell "ZAEALAND"

I think its going to take more then a draw here to get reid on board.

Loving internet speeds in Australia, this 90GB a month stuff really makes sure my interent is at full speed for this game.

coombes has had a bit of a mare i think. some great chances to deliver dangerous crosses, and blown all of them. probably bloody nervous though.

Coombes is getting into good positions but seems to be guilty (as many have said) of very amatuer crosses and possibly not taking as much time on the ball as he could. That said though, showing some promise - how old is he?

Tommy Smith is looking good, hard to beleive we have an amatuer centreback but Boyens isn't looking overawed.

Some more concise passing at the right moments would have had goals for both teams.

This is my third favourite half time score in the last year... First 1-0 over Bahrain, second (only because the previous one got us into a world cup) 2-1 over Italy

Hows he looked defensively though, thats what i am more worried about with our rb.

I first read this as "nauseous".

Plus, Denmark just lost their Wednesday friendly to Austria. (because Reid is basing his decision entirely on the results of March 3 friendlies)

I love the noise the crowd are making when Mossy is taking a goal kick..SUPERB!! dairyflat2010-03-04 18:05:17

Yeah he's been poor.

gotta remember its basically an away game, so gutsy effort so far. love to know the crowd figure. good have been back three, elliott, bertos, killie. ok have been brown, smeltz. not good lochie and coombes. thats my oversimplified analysis

Boyens and Smith doing very well so far imo
