Geez I hope that wakes them up - so close for Romania!
Oly Whites vs Romania | Wednesday 28th July | 8.30pm | Hokkaido, Japan
Romania passive - what about us - we seem to have given up any attacking intent and trying to park the bus.
Am feeling a bit like Royz - the writing is shaping up on the the wall for a last minute loss.... not like we haven't seen it before....
Best thing about footy is the bipolar threads about coaching.
Games 1 & 2: Boy we sure did look better playing 4-3-3
Game 3: Boy we sure look better playing 4-3-3 (4-2-3-1)
Jesus this diving and over acting is attrocious
Haha, commentator thinks it doesn't count as a foul if you're trying to kick the ball.
that ball from pinjaker is the one - albeit for champness -not McC. He's so limp on attack - just playing the easy ball backwards - sure not giving it away but not creating either. really annoyed by this set up this half
I feel like we have been by far the better side, but also that we could concede any moment. Boy we are missing Reid (and Boxall).
Also, getting very tired of all the rolling around on the ground, and shouts from (I assume) their bench.

Ganea lucky not to make any significant contact there flying in like that!
I just want to see one NZ player with a little flair. All very fit and strong but lack any outstanding technical ability.
Ref has lost it a bit, missing a lot of stuff both ways.

Like a Singh or Rojas?
Still not much idea of attack apart from long balls.
Some of the guys are looking pretty tired. I'd get Waine on.

Will we go through with a draw?
Have always loved Woud.

Yes. Unless a ten man Honduras score 5 in the next 20 minutes
How can Romania be offside when they kick a corner straight at our keeper? Assume commentator wrong again.
How many times can Ingham give the ball away!
This has gone from great to painful. How was I not expecting that!!!
Finally a shot on goal. It's been a while.
much better

Ingham's chicken on the ball

"Great hands by Hay, he's still got it"
Still got what? Did he used to be a keeper?

Despite having no end product (yet) the Romanian attacks have much better fluidity than ours. They have patterns that the players know and use. While we seem to rush forward in a line with hoping one player will drop out of the line to receive it. There have been glimpses with our short passing but we seem only to use it to get out of right situations compared to attacked ing it
Squeaky bum time.
Just has been absent this half
They have defended Wood well, often double teaming him any time at the top of the box.
Stamenic will be a loss in the next round if we make it through.

Why is Hay telling the team to hurry up?? Ffs just take the draw.
Stamenic should get an award for being able to make contact like that and make the side soon that much.
That's super human.
That's super human.
Woud won me back a bit with that excellent sh1thousery
Hell yeah!
