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.

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

We deserved that, playing long then sitting back and defending at the top of our box. Not sure what our tactics are, whether we haven't implemented the game plan or the game plan is just terrible.

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?

This is the attitude that's wrong and all too persistent with New Zealand coaching.

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

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

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.

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.

Agree we didn't come to play which is a real shame and the coaching staff should cop it for that. Also agree that all Roberson does is run it straight. If he can't run he gets caught on the ball and loses it. Can't think of many positives at all from this game. Some shark attitudes from players out there as well. Which is why many of them won't become professionals

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