Okay, so what does "A" stand for do we think?


Starter for 10: Average...

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

what was the reason for a 'A' team? Why not give the main team some much needed game time together?

Not a FIFA window and the Phoenix players are in the offseason (but Jordan managed to get a full team together)

Some good passing going on when we keep it on the deck. Nice move there by Clapham.

Jeeze with compelling arguing like that I can't help but agree with you.

Back to the game. We're not so bad now. Don't ever look like going into the attacking third, but keeping the ball a bit which is nice.

I hope our first squad are watching 'A' teams passing. It is a step up.

For every nice thing that Clapham does, he does 3 poor things and 2 shocking things

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

They love the big left-right switch the Jordanians...


Wonder if that's because they're picking on Hogg, or it's something they just like. Or maybe an identified weakness in Australia? Who is the Socceroooooos left back?

Our passing is magical at some stages ..well maybe it's not, I'm just not used to seeing a NZ team string some together.

Compare how this team and the team at the Olympics played under Emblem, with the Herbert team that played Dunedin - poles apart

This is not accurate, because he does zero nice things, and >0 poor/shocking things.

So your equation is not correct.

Unless by "nice things" you mean in life and not on a football pitch, in which case perhaps your equation would stack up. I don't know him well enough to say.

Think it has a lot to do with the amount of space out there due to Howieson playing very narrow

Better half than I was expecting pre kick-off and after the first five.  They have butchered chances but we've been useful.

Clapham has faded as the match has worn on.  Hogg not lookinag good option to replace Lochy..out of position to often and slow to track back.  Boyd enjoying himself but is lone ranger.
