Jale with some proper game time and up front please and thank you.
She might be actually able to connect with a header unlike our other options.

Wilkinson from a set piece??? If it accidentally hits her in the head and goes in maybe.
I would love Michaela Foster to come on, even just for the corners/free kicks where she can put it on a dime.
I'm not sure about Longo starting in place of Hassett, or Chance instead of Riley. They didn't change the game much when they came on, but, hope I'm wrong!
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
COYF!!! Pump the cheese!!!
I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.
Fark we have looked the most like scoring for 30 mins. Given how other games have started like this tournament I'm getting bad vibes.

Exactly. Longo does nothing productive. Might as well play with 10. Hassett if you want harrying. Jale if you want a goal threat.
Yank Wilkinson off imo. She looks tired already and isn't getting stuck in. Steinmetz has been poor too
Why is Hand, at 24 years of age, being referred to as a 'young gun'? At what age does one stop being a young gun? Or perhaps she played for the NZ cricket team in the early 90s with Paddy Batch, Hogan Crowe, and 'always knew he was fat' Smithy?
Hassel for chance is a change for me. Has Wilkinson touched the ball, she doesn't seem to have any anticipation.

Norway is pumping Phillipines.
So if I'm correct we need to win to progress, and if we win we go through first in the group?
First or knocked out seems rough haha.

Her 1st touch almost always guarantees a required tackle for her 2nd.
The only thing worse than not scoring at the moment is having to watch this match on Fox, and listen to a bunch of Americans commentate football.

Yeah that is correct. Lots of posession but don't look like scoring. Seems to be a trait of NZ football teams.
Time to throw the dice. Send Jale, IP Riley, and Hassett or Rennie/Clegg on now.
Cmon, a bit of positivity in this forum, one goal might just do it. Second half, let's go Ferns!
Seems to me Switzerland is playing for the draw. They aren’t pressing high. They keep everyone back defending in two rows of four. Even on attack they don’t commit numbers forward. Ferns have been good. Nice crisp play out from the back. Shot off the post which was so close. They just need to find an opening somewhere. Unfortunately I am predicting a 0-0

I dunno if they are playing for the draw so much as not playing for the loss. I expect them to spark up in the last 20 mins.
That offside goal could especially sting soon.
Or its a funny anecdote when we smash one in and win it 1-0

FUCKING HELL SOMEBODY GET WILKINSON OFF THE PIRCH SHE CANT EVEN PASS THE FUCKING BALL PROPERLY HOW CAN ANYONE CALL HER A DECENT FOOTBALLER!!!
Steinmetz is a good player, but just cannot pass the ball. It's like she can do everything else right....
