lolywhites vs Belgium (Match thread)

highlights on tv1 now!!!!!!!!

Horus, are you heading off to play in the states, do the college thing?

3 - 0 to Brazil, they are carving up now

Thiago Neves, top goal, he also scored the fee kick!

alright team back on topic! I need updates

Belgium 1-0 NZ just over 10 minutes to go.

Well we are running out of time to score 2 goals and thats about it

1-0. Belgium all over us. Killen nearly scored,which would have made it intersting,but our only chance to get back into game has passed and dont see us getting another one.

Our 2 players tackle each other,ball goes to belgium

The only positives I can think of from this tournament is our draw with China and Brockie's goal, and some players maybe being spotted by scouts.

Spoonly just made a very nice save after a rather hard shot by a Belgium player

I have sat my sat's, thinking of it, have talked to a few, will see. Wanna get over injury.

aussie still goalless with ten to go. at least they'll be coming home with us..

Well that cheers me up slightly

Draper coming on :O

I'm disappoined that we've taken this long to play passing football, and it actually pays off!

Seems we're in a 3-3-3 formation atm, 3 strikers all or nothing style 

update - australia now one down. if we can knock one in we'll end up with more points than they did.

new goal.

I do reckon Killen has got a hell of alot better as the games progressed

Corner, come on boys.  Beat Aussie!

corner time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got a corner with 2 min to go....

header waay over the bar.

3min left plus stopage time.

Who do you think have been our standout players? For me its been Brockie,Hogg and Henderson

after all this, only one thing learnt for sure ...we play better with 10

All over 1-0 to Belgium.

Belgium 17 shots, 11 on target.
NZ 4 shots, 3 on target.

Blimming disappointing.  At least Aussie are coming home as well.

Let's hope the Phoenix tear the A-League up.

I know it may have had something to do with the game situation and fatigue but I think we learnt towards the end there that we could have played passing football after all.

done!!!! we def played a lot better tonight didnt look that out of our depth!!!! sick of the long ball tho BIG TIME!!!! haha

bring on sunday arvo woop woop!!!!

Hogg for me and Brockie.

i thought draper showed a little bit of good work in the limited time he was on the field for

I think Hogg proved his doubters wrong.  Henderson is probably our most technically able player, it would be nice to see him go on.

ill give you that brockie scored a good goal with one of the very few opportunities he had, but he was otherwise quiet like Killen. killen lives off crosses, and we delivered very few.

1-0. Went out with a bit of a whimper in the end. Still nice to see us getting some good shots in on goal in the last quarter of the match there.

Players that stood out for me. Hogg definately, especially considering he's the youngest in the side. Brockie was good too, scored our only goal and what a goal. Thought Elliott was tidy as was Peverley. Oh and you have to say Nelsen was a man possessed against China.

All in all good experience for the lads and well done on getting a point. They have something to improve on now for London 2012.
