New Zealand Men's U-17s
F**k, was coming
Cracking goal for CZECHS
Couldn't stop that
Czechs are quality side with majority of possession and attempts on goal so far.
Czechs 1-0 NZ Julis with top goal.

maybe we can start playing now...its been one sided.
Need some possession!!
i have a good idea....
Away....awaaay..awaaaay!!!!
Have to say even at this early stage,Kiwis looking under the kosh. They are still trying to find rhythm.
Nice block from Tuialoma, and great one handed save from our Basalaj.

our keeper sounds good at this tourney - how big is he? If he dont have size he'll never get anywhere

Looks big for his age, bit hard to tell though...
Tall - could be a bit nore dominant coming out to collect crosses though... damn stream is pausing on me.
35% possession. SH*T
sounds rather promising - i saw grainy highlights of the uzbek game and he looked very athletic, I couldnt really tell if he was tall though. Great news that he is, hopefully he keeps growing!
we dont need keepers - we need midfielders
we dont need keepers - we need midfielders
Preferably ones with technical ability.
kepper is 6'2
our left back is poor
left midfielder is doing nothing
Midfield looking a bit pedestrian and static right now leaving the Czechs to rampage with shots on goal.
Basalaj throws his hands up. Cmon guys!

boganUH your username and avatar are quality
you dont live on mangaroa hill rd by any chance do you?
It's next door to my olds, and they have a car with 'feenix' on the numberplate...! if not you is it anyone on here?
Basalaj is playing well
Edge and vale getting through some work
Payne hiding a bit for a good player
howieson.. expect better from him
So what do NZ have to do to get back into this match after half time...
First sub Howieson - has done very little and it leaving the LB with too much to do defensively. We need to have more outlests.
Push someone further forward to support Payne, he's getting nothing is getting marked out of the game by two CB's. A little extra support up fron might help create some space for him.
Hattrick boy Carmichael non existant and Vale poor in possession. Only mid doing anything is Edge.
Uh, lucky to go in at the break just the one goal down. If we don't step up, we'll find ourselves on the end of a beating.. Hopefully they can start playing soon! The midfield is getting a run around. Come on lads, better second half please

Of course he doesn't, he lives on Don Buck Road in Massey, West Auckland. His neighbours are Shane and Gaylene, and they have a pair of Rotweilers called Thor and Zeus, and a Pitbull called Tyson.
Agree, think Edge has been working hard. Howieson offering little or no support to the left back, who is getting skinned a bit.
It was a great goal too.
If I was NZ coach I'd be saying something about think All Whites v Slovakia 2010 WC right now.
The backs need to tighten up, the midfield sort their sh*t and close down the attacks that are opening them up every time and how about some quality balls to attacking players?

At least we'll still be top if it stays like this. But agreed that we certainly need support for Payne
Our Left back having a torrid time and we are playing a bit to deep I think. Most of their shots are from range so we need to close them down early.
Paulm, upper hutt born and imbread...
Touchme; left back is poor... howieson needs to pull finger..
payne needs to go find the ball... and carmichael needs to bomb on like the last game
Agreed. He did that once early on and we looked dangerous but it's been flat since then.
Raniga is hardly poor. Midfield needs to get more involved and Howieson needs to stop imitating the guys he sees on TV and not dawdle
On a positive note... the keepers goal kicks a reassuring...70yards on the fly aent bad
our keeper sounds good at this tourney - how big is he? If he dont have size he'll never get anywhere
Coey Turipa was outstanding at the previous U17 World Cup. Pathway for young keepers in New Zealand isn't the greatest. Older goalkeepers are always going to dominate game time in the senior grades
Basalaj keeps most weeks in the Central league or in Capital 1. He gets plenty of game time. Hard News2011-06-23 12:02:32
Just need to get their shape. Won't win anything in the air and generally our first touch is poor and slow.
Much better start for NZ
Basalaj keeps most weeks in the Central league or in Capital 1.� He gets plenty of game time.
Exception to the rule though isn't he?
drag raniga... got no confidence today..
