Oly Whites vs South Korea | Thursday 22nd July | 8.00pm | Kashima, Japan

I'll go with 1-1. Woodsman to be a handful for the Koreans.
Reid, Cacace & Bell also to shine. 

I hope we win

I hate to say this... but I kind of hope we play a bit more direct tomorrow (and only for this game). Whilst I have been really pleased to see our move to more of a passing side compared to previous years, traditionally the Korean sides have simply outran other sides with constant pressure and attacks at pace. 

Having a unit to hit up top and pin them back a little could be quite helpful.

Yep, win some corners and bring up Winnie

Does anyone know how good Jamie Searle is? He up there with Woud? Or Nah?

Take it with a pinch of salt, but he wasn’t playing first team football for Melville before he left, so wasn’t deemed better than Max Tommy who isn’t bad but isn’t great either. 

Could be entirely wrong, but I heard that he got signed by Aston Villa because Sam Wilkinson knew someone there from when he worked at Birmingham and said “we’ve got this keeper who’s not that good but he’s 6’6” and organised a trial for him. Giant keepers like that are always a chance at youth football, idk if he’s better than guys like Cam Brown, but he might be the beneficiary of being out of sight so Gould and Parker couldn’t see him first hand.

Definitely won't be Woud level yet with Michael starting every week in senior competition, but playing PL2 with Swansea has got to be pretty beneficial for his development. He might get a game against Romania if we've gotten good results against Korea and Honduras (or if we have no chance of progressing to the knockouts by then).

This is exactly what I heard too - heard he wasn't even rated as the best young GK prospect at Melville (Keegan Hansen iirc was prioritised ahead of him), but has turned it up a notch in England, impressing at both Villa and Swansea. Everyone involved is pleasantly surprised

He might have also benefitted from the picking of players in pro environments only , rather than a Cam Brown locally and from the qualifiers .

The OlyWhites will lineup against South Korea just like they did in the warmups v Australia: Woud, Ingham, Stensness, Reid, Pijnaker, Cacace, Bell, Lewis, Just, Wood, McCowatt

How can i watch this?

COYAW!!!

https://www.jokerlivestream.xyz/joker-football-live-streaming-41.html or on sky 5

what a joke 5 at the back!

we look nervous

soo when do you think we will start playing?

that was better! they found space very easily there. 

First shot on goal for once

how fudgein deep do we want to play???

Curious why Ingham seems to be the focal point of our attack. Like him but he’s been woeful so far

Wasn't expecting to see us sit deep in a 5-4-1 and lumping it

So we are playing 5-4-1 and sitting deep? wtf

we look horrid. it's like we don't have a clear plan with what to do with our midfield. 

How did Korea not score then

Poco

So we are playing 5-4-1 and sitting deep? wtf

 and insist on building from the back and putting ourselves under pressure at every opportunity.

 I'm hoping it's more of a 3-4-3 and we are just under the pump, but...

cracking save by Woud. but again, we put ourselves under soo much pressure. 

Korea miss a golden op to score damn Olywhites are pathetic 

I dont mean to be harsh on the team but our players are better then this, why so poor.

OK, building into the game a bit now, still really struggling with their pressing. Just needs to step it up though.  A bit nervy the last few minutes.

Based in how high SK are ranked I think we are doing ok.

Anyone got a stream? Couldn’t get Joker going
