We await your response and that of the broadcaster,

Sincerely,

who wants a bet there will be ads 1 min from half time.

Ill just tell you whats happening as we see it here in NZ.

Killen had a deflected shot after a mix up from defence.

We're currently springing a few passes together

Its on sopcast for anyone interested.

Good phase of possession and great ball to Killen on the right side but no support with four Brazilians pressuring him. Very sad. Where was the right midfielder and centre midfielder?

we need to string a few more passes together before booting it away as someone said. their midfield isnt putting that much pressure on ours

cheers,

give it a go...

Got better towards the end and tried passing, our best players at the moment is Brockie, Peverly who looks very good in the midfield, Elliott is poop.

Never a yellow, never.

that card was ridiculous.

f**k me these officials are awful.  Brockie now booked for being kicked.

Brockie gets yellow for challenging the ball, which is apparently forbidden

and mises belgium game, not even a free kick

That guys Ronaldinho is pretty good. Ricki should sign him up before someone else does.

Nah, no better than what we already have.

half time much better 2nd half of that first half. They spent more time on the ball and put a few good balls though. Bring on the 2nd half.

yea cheers ref, we can hardly get the ball and get yellowed when we try to get it.. "oi you fella in white you're not meant to have it, yellow card for you"

First half stat's:

So. 2-0 at the Half.

I don't think we've been all that bad personally. Responded well to that early goal we conceded and were somewhat unlucky to be caught on the break for their second. Credit to them they're on another level obviously but i think we've held our own so far. Ref has been shocking though.

Brockie missing the Belgium game ARRRGHHH!!!!

we played a bit in the last ten. terrible yellow for brockie. ive seen some shockers from the officials in this tournie.

<!-- bmi_SafeAddOnload(bmi_load,"bmi_orig_img",0);//--> that is Brockies second yellow of the tournement.  does he miss the belgium game now???

he likes watching Brazil play though (Larmer that is, not Brockie - and yes, Brockie will be watching the Belgium game)tigers2008-08-10 21:57:49

Chris Killen and Simon Elliott are 'minnows' according to the commentator

i must be watching a different eliott. doing a hell of a lot of the donkey work in the middle

Is it me being harsh or does Spoonley get caught off his line too much? 2 of our 3 goals conceded in this tournament have gone sailing over his head as he been caught bit too far off his line..

brazil sprig our legs,dive, do whatever they bloody want and they get a freekick.

The sad thing for us is that the brazilian team is not even hitting their straps. It's a bit of a walk in a park for them. We seem not to have enough ideas of what to do with the ball from the second third to the attacking third. Our defence is doing their best, but long ball is used too much as the penultimate/ultimate pass. We need to mix it up.

TEGAL he stands lik 2 to 3 feet off his line,i dont knw why im not a keeper but both goals...yeh

On his line for the second would of made it look worse by been off his line a little bit he cut down the angle and atleast got close TouchMe2008-08-10 22:02:57

I hate to say it but dam Ronaldinho is having some fun out there!

draw will still happen ;)

Yeh I did catch myself asking that when Dong scored, but didn't know if there was a reason for it...
