AUCKLAND - The Young Football Ferns squad for the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica was named on Monday including five players fresh from the U-20 side which claimed the OFC U-20 Women’s Championship in Auckland on Saturday.
Martine Puketapu, Daisy Cleverley, Isabella Coombes, Elizabeth Anton and Geena Gross were all involved in the Junior Football Ferns side which secured a berth at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup courtesy of Saturday’s 3-0 win over Papua New Guinea in Mangere.
The New Zealand U-17 side, made up from graduates for the New Zealand Football National and Federation Talent Centre programmes, head to their showcase event in March after the trip to the United States for a four-team tournament in Los Angeles earlier in February.
Young Football Ferns coach Jitka Klimkova said the trip to the USA – which saw the side meet the host nation, China and Japan - was great preparation for the World Cup in Costa Rica.
“We learned a lot during the USA tournament,” Klimkova said, “playing against the best teams in the world at U-17 level was such a great experience.”
Klimkova says the trip to the United States showed up several areas which will serve as key focus points for the side in the lead up to their departure for the tournament.
“Defensively we want to be more compact and our individual defending should be much more aggressive. Offensively, we have to play quicker with the ball and our movement off the ball should be more proactive.”
The Young Football Ferns will be working on those areas against historically strong opponents which Klimkova has studied well; Paraguay, Spain and Japan.
“Our first game against Paraguay will be a similar game to the United States. They are very physical and play a direct style of football.
“Spain is the best team in Europe and it will be really different football compared to our first game; they are more technical, possession-oriented and unpredictable. Japan are similar to Spain, and playing against them in the USA tournament should be an advantage for us.”
The first match of the tournament for the Young Football Ferns is against Paraguay on Monday 17 March (NZ time).

Can Mosgiel bounce back from a disaster of a centenary year? Will Wrighty be the catalyst for a rivival?
Mosgiel games won
Over 10.5 $1.91
Under 10.5 $1.91
Can I have $5 on neither to score (Cunningham and Dunn) at $75. And $100 on ebanda most red cards. Love your work bookie!
What about odds on golden boot???

No odds released quite yet but word is punters are showing alot of interest in make-shift striker Damo Foster to take that gong, he's likely to open as a heavy favourite.
Mosgiel and Roslyn open the preseason friendlies at the neutral venue of Forrester Park tomorrow. Early signals from the Roslyn camp suggest Attwood and other Southern United stars will be given a rest. Andy Brook was unavailable for comment regarding the fitness of his National League duo.
Mosgiel $3.20
Draw $3.10
Roslyn $2.00
With Damian "Bronze Medal" Foster off to Brazil he surely isn't a contender for golden boot. If Tom Jackson is around for the season he'd be the favourite surely, although given decent odds I'd stick my money on Burgess.
Have you got odds for us Bookie?
On a serious note massive kudos to Hannah English, its fantastic effort to make a world cup squad from down here.
YOLO are you the new Rab Smith? & another thing, rotate the f-ing photo you Doughnut!
Rotate the computer
Cheers Rab.
Roslyn v Mosgiel 6pm tonight @ Forrester Park. Roslyn look to be putting out a 2nd string team whilst the Mosgiel boys are sending out a top squad (with rumours of the SU lads playing). Are they trying to send a message early?
Taylor mcormack or Steven from Dunedin ?
So.....

What did somebody say a wee while back, that there'd be a far-too-positive recap?
In a recent SPL match he called quality AR Chris Boyd and F...ing cheat twcie over an offside decision that clearly wasn't offside (ie AR left his flag down goal scored)
And soccersouth only gave him a one week ban.
Despite that he's not event that good
Found this beaut of a quote on page 1......
What a Fucking Clown
Fraser Cameron was irrepressible at times last season, can the plucky winger come fullback come target man bustle his way to another season in double digits?
Fraser Cameron goals in 2014:
Over 9.5 $2.15
Under 9.5 $1.78
Curtis, Cheese, Wee Gavin, Gav...Whatever you call him, we've got some great options on the dimiutive former Plainsman.

Overly positive and a poor article by Rab. Grasping at straws to claim a 'historical' sixth place when they finished seventh in the league in this 2013/14 season. Obviously trying to distort reality in a similar fashion to Luiz during the season. They conceded 50 goals, gained four points against franchises and if so many players did well how come the team finished seventh. Were Overton,Coburn, Cunningham M and Rodeka really missing from last years team - No! Too many inaccuracies in the article. If I am wrong someone will put me right I am sure. They had trouble with injuries because he never filled the roster. Talk of an injury crisis was exaggerated in terms of numbers. It as just that important players got significant knocks and it was Luiz who went against physio orders and played Viana thus ending his season.
Tom Batty didn't stand up as he was already at national league standard and performed as expected of the best keeper in the South Island. And why should applicants be queing up? Most of the ones queing would be the same old rubbish that apply for the jobs all the time or work for Football South. The board should be head hunting far and wide for a quality coach rather than dipping back into an overused and under-talented well and this process should have started already if the new board has any ambition.
Not getting last was a positive so for this the coaches can gain a small modicum of praise but to have let a poor Wanderers team finish ahead of Southern would have been a total disaster. How about an article that tells the truth rather than spins a line and takes the majority of fans in the south to be completely unaware of what really goes on.
And just to add that there was more money available this time around than for the previous regime. The excuses just don't wash. Just gimme some truth............
^ what he said 100%
I rate your cutter Scottish.

who the hell is Ewan Bakker, Michael Neaverson & Johannes Pergande?
Ewan is from CHCH, played for Halswell for ages, great player, will do well for whoever has him.

Tech need a goalkeeper before another left side midfielder.

With Batty playing up front this season this is true

Been watching a couple of Roslyn pre season trainings and it looks like Fraser Cameron is going to be an even bigger target man this season.Could be tough to get the ball off and should work well with Bronze boot Foster running of him.
Will be interesting if FAD( Roslyn’s version of Liverpool’s SAS) can match last year’s pace and bang in another 30 goals between them. Theyll need that and more if they are to mount a serious title challenge.

You guys have to be kidding? 7th???????????????? There is no chance we finish outside the top 3! Mosgiel to do well this season based on what exactly? The only signing theyve made is Jesse!
Top 4 will be: Tech, GI, Cavvy and Roslyn, just like last year.
Check last years table Green Onion - GI finished 5th and 16 points off the pace. There hasn't been much talk reason why they represent any better this season.
