Its hard to know where to address the issues this team is facing. You could almost pick any aspect of them and there would be enough to take a world cup cycle to sort out... and we have what? like 100 days until we kick off against Norway? Very worried.
I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.
Better players in the national league. Too many of these girls are complacent and have proven time after time theyre not good enough. Need a coach that is finally willing to change it up.

I'm not sure there is. But we do need to understand why our best players are playing soo poorly and then do something about that.

So…on the bench we have Mackenzie Barry, who has consistently all season been named one of the top performing Phoenix players, and on the field we have Kate Taylor who….hasn’t. OK
we are soo poor, dont even look like we know how to play football...... no players have any confidence, we cant string passes together. not much hope left for this team
Calling all fans in Japan, come down and support the mighty nix in Osaka
For me the biggest issue is the lack of movement and energy - who is running into space, coming to get the ball etc etc. Its all very pedestrian and boring.

Agreed.
For example, Moore. Should've been dropped for a good long while after the own goal incident but no, apparently we have to be nice about thar.

Have we got someone better?
That incident sucked but at least she is playing in the top Scottish league and was in the second tier English comp.

she appears to have a bit of a chip on her shoulder. those seasoned pros really do need to step up and provide this team with some spinenand structure

It's not really about what level she plays at though. Three own goals is unacceptable. Even if she was one of the best in the world she should've been dropped.

Oh don't get me wrong. That was fudgeing brutal to watch, but the best player at the time is who we need to play.
Is it her or someone else? Not sure, but one atrocious game doesn't mean you should be not played a year later if you ate the best player available at the time.
anyone with Analysis on Chile vs Argentina, is Argentina more beatable?
Chile 38, Argentina 29. No that is not the number of goals they will score against us but their FIFA ranking. Although Argentina are currently beating Chile 0-3, Chile have beaten Argentina in the past. Argentina definitely stronger so I think Argentina will beat us and Chile might be a draw (0-0 of course). We are supposedly ranked 24 and Portugal 22, yet we are at home and getting pummeled by them.
That was the worst performance I've seen from a NZ international side in any sport in decades.
I'm sorry but that was absolute garbage. The players are terrible and i know they won't get better but even a bad bunch of players can at least get into some form of shape in and out of possession...thats on coaches.
Yes it finished 5-0 but it should've easily been double figures! It was a training run for them.
