At least we had two Premier League overage players back then and here we are 16 years on with pros all over the world still making up the squad with Northern League players. Naby Keita will have a field day for Guinea. At least the 2008 crop got a historic draw against the host nation - that is not happening in 2024.

This must be the worst NZ Olympic squad ever assembled.

My prediction: 3 games, 3 losses, no goals scored.

Knee jerk reaction. The run on 11, will still be okay. Hopeful of a result against Guinea.

Olywhites starting 11 verus Belgium, last pool game at Beijing 2008.
J. Spoonley, S. Old, M. Boxall, I. Hogg, S. Jenkins, A. Scott, S. Elliott, C. Henderson, C. Peverley, C. Killen and D. Ellensohn (got sent off)

Of that lot only Boxall, Elliott & Killen would you say (have) had careers of note. I'll wager the class of 2024 will do better than that.
Ryan did play the first two games though, and Brockie scored in the first game v China
