Am I on the only one that thought we were a little underwhelming? Granted I was multi-tasking by watching the game at work, but from what I saw is that we were under hitting our passess, hitting them out of play etc. making silly mistakes.
Bar from a 2 minute passage when they gave us two goals.
Feel like this team would need to step up massively for my competitive games. However, there would be a fair amount of personel changes if we do get to the Olympics. 

p.s Willem is a cracking player! Although, also I very bright lad and from what I know is that he would prefer to pursue what an Economics degree from Havard can bring him

I think there will be a fair amount of personnel changes within this tourney, let alone next years Olympics.  Isaac Hughes, Lukas Kelly-Heald, Alex Paulsen, Finn Surman and Oskar van Hattum, all now to come in as starters for the semi & hopefully the final.

I only saw the last 30 odd mins of yesterday's game and yes U23s weren't that impressive, though perhaps coasting a bit in the rain. Just trying to avoid injuries?? The Fijians were pretty physical, and not surprisingly quite organised under Rob Sherman.
