Yeah it's off topic, but in a circular QI way brings you back to the fact, the Ferns are a middling international side that can be hard to watch, mostly due to the poor technical ability of the players. They only really get to the Olympics because they have the easiest qualifying path in international football. Watching someone like Anna Green, in that first half was cringeworthy for an international footballer male or female.

Yeah sure Sermanni/Birnie can tinker. Bring on Rennie and/or Satchell earlier. Start one of them even maybe. Same Longo. Start with a back 4 - read they switched from 5 to 4 at the back sometime 2nd half, against Matildas. But it's a lazy agrument just to put blame on the coaches.

Only when you get some female Just, Stamenic, Singh, Bell like equivalents who can play on the deck with speed & movement, coming out the top 2 academies will there be any improvement. Shame Maya Hahn chucked in her lot with Germany.

While Hahn said the Under-17 World Cup was one of the best experiences of her life, she has made no secret of the fact she was becoming increasingly disillusioned by the women's game in New Zealand.

As a ball-playing midfielder from the Ole Football Academy, she said the long-ball tactics deployed by most New Zealand teams were diminishing her love for the sport.

"Going into camp, it wasn't like it was fun being there. I love football so much but when I go into that environment I don't really love football that much, and that's the important thing — that I'm having fun.

"I felt when I was in Germany, despite being with a completely new group of people and the different language I was having fun playing football and enjoying it, which is important.
