1 - 0 down against Uruguay is an awesome result so far. Especially when we are still missing Chettle and Woodsy.
I woiuld have taken a 2 - 0 scoreline happily at the start of the game. This is a hugely encouraging performance in my view.
How did we actually play? Did we have chances or did Uruguay hit the post 34 times? it is a respectable score line, but i wouldn't rely on our team improving significantly because of the return of two individuals. Albeit I hope Woodsy can pick up a couple of goals in the WCu20 group play. I would like to say our team is pretty good and competitive as they are.
good luck to the boys for the rest of this Korea Cup thing, it is a great build up opportunity, we can only get better from it and learn from it. These games will def be helping us come WC time.

That link doesn't seem to be working? well for me atleast... I have found http://www.kfatv.com/opentv_pop.php?szStr=535605154f18540e5b5c511d5f115448&nWidth=640&nHeight=480&isAutoPlay=1 however it seems to be more like pictures every 5 seconds instead of a actual stream. Lol. And my internet is fine so don't think its my connection.

Full time score 4-3 to NZ. Good for us to get a win against the African champs! must be a confidence booster going into the WC.

That's a top result.
The critical thing is to carry over such performances into the pressure environment of the World Cup.

That is surely the biggest result we have ever had at age group level, beating the African champs... who traditionally play overage men aswell.
Plus we were apparently unlucky against Uruguay as well. We only seemed to be outplayed by Korea.
Top stuff, simply brilliant. All we need now is some decent highlight footage.

Awesome result, really encouraging tournament overall. Would love to see highlights but dunno if this game or the Uruguay one were even filmed, the KFA website was only showing Korea's games.
Anyone know if Sky has any plans to cover the World Cup? Don't really know what the precedent is like for Sky covering age group tournaments, I guess they'd do rugby but that's probably it? Would hope they'd be on board for at least NZ's games and the later stages though. P big deal especially since we're hosting the 2015(?) one.

Sky have had coverage of the last two U20 World Cups.

The last U17s as well from Nigeria?
I think the last Rugby U20 was the first one they ever showed. Might be wrong.
Permalink

Yep, they showed the U17s too, not just from Nigeria, but the one before that too - in Korea maybe? When Kosta was the captain? We played Brazil, England and North Korea in that one.

Great result and for that matter the other two results were not shabby either

Milicich was tweeting about putting some goal highlights online but warning their footage wasn't the greatest.
@cmilicich if anyone's interested in following him.
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.
