China seem like quite a strong team?
I have watched Wilkinson over a reasonable period. Her inability to keep control of the ball at her feet has let her down badly.
Surely someone can coach her to dribble properly rather than kicking the ball ten metres in front of her and then chasing like crazy to no avail.
To give ourselves a chance of progressing as one of the 4th best 3rd place teams we have to beat China. Missing that penalty could really end up costing us.

It's looking very much like penalties in general have cost us so far.
The Canada penalty in the Canada v China game was never a penalty, we should have been awarded one against the Netherlands and we should have put our one away (I mean the keeper went the wrong way, we totally should have been able to tap it in).

Looks like, unfortunately, we might have to actually score a goal (at least) to have any hope...
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Game day! Time to start delivering on all the talk. COYFF
Football: Beating China vital for Ferns

media release is 'Ferns call for game breakers'. Does this mean they will start someone different? The same lineup hasn't proven to have any game breakers as they just don't score goals

As long as we win then we don't have to worry about Group B
Thailand 0 Germany 4
Ivory Coast 1 Norway 3
Betsy Hassett looks like the only one able to find great passes. Longo has a ton of ability but hasnt done much.
Hungary must have an oil pipeline or something they need from China. Two horrific officiating errors since the goal.
Why didn't the lino say anything to the ref FFS?
Kotahitanga. We are one.
Need a big second half here. Rosie White and Katie Bowen on. Gregarious and Bassett off
White on for Gregorius or Wilkinson is always a good move.
Grumpy old bastard alert
I just have that awful feeling that we wont get any luck going our way in this game.
Less focus on quirky music lip sync videos, more focus on football.
