Killen needs players runnig off of him, its hard to bring down 40 yard balls with two defenders on you and find a player with no one else around you for 20 yards.
 
He was on a yellow so taken off to protect him for the next game. Ellensons has no touch, every time he trapped the ball it bounced 5 yards away.
 
Boxall was pretty quiet, never really saw him.Good or Bad?

You guys thought Hgg was good? How many long balls did he kick to no-one? How many times did he turn down the easy pass for the glory 40 yarder?

Not one of those Oly-Whites deserve a contract with the Phoenix Ryan because they all have the first touch of a donkey even when they were not under pressure. Lets start with that first before we start with 10 yard passes. They were all below average and not one could say they genuinely had a good game. They were outclassed and deserved to get spanked by more.

An embarrassment and justified why they shouldn't have gone

I was always taught that a defender's had a good game if you didn't notice him

Guys...perspective...of course Brazil were going to make our guys look like chumps. The fact Hogg stood out in a game like that says a hell of a lot about him.
 
Judge them by the china and belgium games more than this one.
 
If we make the next round,i can see everyoine stop being critical and start supportig them all of a sudden

We're not all being critical Tegal.

Three for me, and two for them.

shame we conceeded again at 92 mins,
 
 logically we were never going to beat Brazil
 
surely, it is the other two games that should be used to measure the wisdom of sending the team there

'An embarrassment and justified why they shouldn't have gone'
was it just 3 days ago that they drew with china, almost winning was it not for a touch of individual class. they played brazil for crying out loud, and we have to realise that they are a class above. we shouldnt judge the whole trip too early. bring on belgium

dissapointed to be honest, as the commentator said we don't get many chances but had we really stepped up 2nite, soccer would take a huge step in this country,
 
yes some players steped up 4 the all whites, but the reality was we weren't even fit to clean there boots 2nite, brazil played like it was a training match, and made us look like the amateurs we are,
 
i think people put to much emphasis on the score, when we lost 0-2 at confeds cup it was seen as some sort of victory, but the reality was brazil finished its chances 2nite,
 
we were so out of that game it wasn't funny, particually in the second half and with killen, nelsen and elliot playin i expected better,
 
suppose we can commit redempton by beating belgium,
 
finally brockie might have blown his chances of a contract overseas with that second yellow.

Please explain how Ronaldinho could dribble one in from 25 on the angle touching no-one and not getting 2 feet off the ground. Embarrassing

Sam Jenkins can thank himself for not getting a free shower. Ronaldinho was going to pull the trigger on that one

I don't think scouts are going to judge Brockie on incompetent refereeing.

Wonder if they can appeal it.

I think he meant more that him no longer being able to show his talents in the belgium game will severely hurt his chances as now any interested scouts only have the China game to judge him by

No suprise Agent47 has come out and sl*gged off that Hogg lad...once again this must be more to his reason of hate on the kid.

However Hogg did stand out..lucky he has some pace too..thort he covered Nelson well at times aswell.

Peverley played well again...

Keeper...Pish...i relise Brazil are class act...but easy mistakes made.

Brazil surely must win the Gold

[/QUOTE] games are remembered for scores - but you're right, they missed countless that confed cup night and not not many at all tonight.

Some really poor refereeing in most games ive seen in this tournament. Dont think you can appeal yellow cards...

Yea maybe I think he's shown enough to potential scouts for the A-league.He's performing pretty well in most of the lead up matches,certainly his goal against the Auzzies would of made quite a few scouts have a good look at him

not on the second one, the first one he won the ball, but got warned for it. The card was for doing it again... in the blind referees eyes.

sl*gged him off? Hardly. I just him put in the same category as pretty much every other player on that pitch in white shorts. I just don't think he was good in ths game as everyone else seems to think thanks Stu

It wasn't a pisstake,it showed a much higher class team with very classy players playing against a  team made up of mostly amateur players.

Hey..

Thought i better say something as some people are acussing me of being someone else.

My brother i thought played well in patches as did some others..thats all i have to say in regards to performances!

Agent47 must have something personal against him but all can say what they like.

Good site for opinions!
