New Zealand Men's U-20s

Billingsley goes off and all of a sudden things happen

Dyer fml

Why has Sargent been able to drop into the pocket all game without been tracked? He's their danger man and we keep letting him get the ball and turn towards goal

Ref falls for dives - well theirs anyway.... we are going a teeny bit better in attack at least.

Singh on now

Bevan is a cock

Oh dare. 

I blame Beasley... the way he set this team up from the start was wrong with Billingsley. He basically said to the team, we aren't here to play, but survive and pinch a result.

oh my, understand Singh coming on, but our best defender off? Liddiciat should've come off, he's been a turnstile all night 

Jeez our defenders are really poor

nothing to lose now. What are we playing? 235?

Oh. Game over 

guess it had to happen. Oh no. That sucks. They aren't that good ffs.

You are right. Liddicote aint up to it, and Mcgarry aint a left back

Does Beasley understand formations? Why would he sub off our best defender? And why did Sarpreet Singh not start? 

McGarry is not a left back - he has been very poor tonight

But we got through to the second round so expect him to stay for the next tournament... only saving grace is he wont be able to pick Billingsley again

Rogerson easily the most comfortable on the ball in team.

Don't quite agree. Never knows what to do with it. His only move is to run into a blind alley

not that much for Venezuela to worry about if they're any good. Been a bad day at the office  for us. it sucks most cos we could do better. 

I hate Dyer

Singh is so much better than what we had on... simple one touch stuff there in the corner and we work a shot

Yep. Singh actually looks like he wants the ball.

How do you get a free header in the box?

That is a shocker from Woud. (and the defence)

4 fudgeing defenders v one striker and the striker gets a free header! wow

Ashworth would have cleared that - that was poor!  Not the best effort from Woud on that one either unfortunately 

a little harsh, he did well to block the intial header, just spun back in. he was never going to get down to it.

Embrassing

just embarrassing now.

but where the fudge was the man on the post. Set up for corners properly.

Have to remember US are missing a lot of their first 11 through suspensions too..

There's no way they're that much better than France. Pity for Woud as he has done really well.

see. That was a good attack. We can do it!

And just to rub salt into the wounds a dab celebration... 

Horrid marking. No one aware.
