Auckland 5 Nix 0. They have the wood on us thus far. It hurts but it is a fact. We cannot deny it.
2 good things came out of that game Rufer's screamer of a goal and Josh's 2 penalty saves. Legend status pending for stopping 2 in one game. Ok, Auckland scored from the rebound but he almost stopped that too.
And Cosgrove flattered to deceive, he falls over easier than Neymar. Eze needs to learn some self control and James was in control at the back except for that rugby tackle.

Enjoyed Eze getting angry, because maaaaan, you run all game, never give up and get fouled and some Hicksville ref not only penalizes you but gives you a yellow…some of our players were squashed, but Eze was looking for that 3-2 with 15 to play, with 10 to play…him Rufer and Josh were epic imo…sorry off topic
Only a matter of time before he gets a red card.
Is it though? Compare his actions throughout the game with Valkanis and crew yesterday. Not much different. He vehemently disagreed with a demonstrably poor decision, as they did.
He didn’t make a dangerous tackle or even an iffy one. He got justifiably pissed off with that yellow. But no more than others in the league and his teammates did the right thing and helped him away.
He is not a dirty or dangerous player.
He’s not a ticking time bomb of Aussie resentment and brutality like Muscat and a fair few others were.
And unlike them and Cosgrove of a week or three ago he doesn’t seem to pursue vendettas with players. He has been justifiably irritated with poor refereeing. The first one I recall was the fudgetard who didn’t stop play for his head clash, waited for the Hefeilberg attack to be snuffed out and the Nix then had a promising counter, so he blew it up. That’s a ref being a prick.
