China seem like quite a strong team?
Football Ferns
I have watched Wilkinson over a reasonable period. Her inability to keep control of the ball at her feet has let her down badly.
Surely someone can coach her to dribble properly rather than kicking the ball ten metres in front of her and then chasing like crazy to no avail.
To give ourselves a chance of progressing as one of the 4th best 3rd place teams we have to beat China. Missing that penalty could really end up costing us.

It's looking very much like penalties in general have cost us so far.
The Canada penalty in the Canada v China game was never a penalty, we should have been awarded one against the Netherlands and we should have put our one away (I mean the keeper went the wrong way, we totally should have been able to tap it in).
So what are the permutations for possible qualification?
Looks like, unfortunately, we might have to actually score a goal (at least) to have any hope...
Game day! Time to start delivering on all the talk. COYFF
Football: Beating China vital for Ferns

media release is 'Ferns call for game breakers'. Does this mean they will start someone different? The same lineup hasn't proven to have any game breakers as they just don't score goals
As long as we win then we don't have to worry about Group B
Thailand 0 Germany 4
Ivory Coast 1 Norway 3
No line-up changes...
Wish Rosie White was starting.

sounds like 90% of the croud are Chinese
Canada have scored in the other game
We just dont create any shooting chances
Anyone got a link?

Betsy Hassett looks like the only one able to find great passes. Longo has a ton of ability but hasnt done much.
Yes!!!
wow what a strike.
tidy finish
That was a flop worthy of Inzaghi.
Naylor has a lot of work coming her way in the rest of this game
Wish Hassett would just have a go herself
Oh crap
dodgy ref
Thats bullshark
far kin bollovks
Hungary must have an oil pipeline or something they need from China. Two horrific officiating errors since the goal.
fin Hungarian slut
I thought we looked the better team so far.
Why didn't the lino say anything to the ref FFS?
Need a big second half here. Rosie White and Katie Bowen on. Gregarious and Bassett off
White on for Gregorius or Wilkinson is always a good move.
I just have that awful feeling that we wont get any luck going our way in this game.
Less focus on quirky music lip sync videos, more focus on football.
Ok I'm ready for a china own goal now
