Yeh, me too. Should be good.
Hope the women's Argentina is not like their men's side

Piney just said it was good fair enough, but one side did look kind of bare at kickoff, but anyway a win from the ferns is all that matters now.

Piney was muted after 2 minutes,useless commentator,maybe OK on radio,but he never shuts up and talks crap.

We gotta start scoring goals. Most teams will know they just have to score and then do half a job in defense.
Ranix have they not watched the Phoenix games? I bloody well have
Bananas i think the ref was the problem,not Portugal.
Well,for the life of me I don't understand how we have set up at the back. Especially with Taylor in the middle,sheesh,we are lucky it's only 2, Portugal should have done more.
Rennie just continues to unimpress me,I don't think she has a clue how to lead an attack for team that's a bit under the cosh. Pritchard in disguise -actually I think Pritchard is better.
Well, I can only hope she proves me wrong second half.

First part is certainly true, but I think lining up as we are otherwise, although they are skilling us big time, we would be a chance in games. Wilkinson is actually our best option up there, and Bott is lifting us. Just don’t roll the subs
Good seeing Bowen the face of much of the media. I think she is our true leader. She will make a huge difference to the performance and mentality of this team.
3-1 Ferns.
3-1 Ferns.
Can’t make it to the Friday game but hoping to take my eldest to the Monday game. Hope some Argies are in town for it.

In the Argentinians in NZ Facebook pages, apparently over 300 of thme are goijg to go.. get ready to hear the hit song “MUCHACHAS” over and over again but instead of Messi we have Yamila Rodrigues 😜
.@RileyThree could make her 150th appearance for the Ferns against Portugal tomorrow night.

But which game stands out for her?

Big injury blow for the #FootballFerns, and for Rebekah Stott personaly, after she had just come back from an ankle injury, but hopefully a chance for Michaela Foster to show what she's got over the next week https://t.co/EZdjsv1qxy

Real shame for Stott but at least it sounds like just a minor injury. Plus she still has quite a bit of time to get herself as fit and prepared as she can for the WC.
Pitch looks great, Hamilton's turning on the sun, gonna be staring into it for the first half. Go the Ferns!
Taylor starting?!
The Portuguese definitely taking it easy before their big one I think
Rubbish attendance at the moment

Can't believe they have Taylor out there.
And let me know when rennie has a touch

Siuuuuu
Taylor is having a shocker. Has been out of souts all season. This half will really dent her confidence. But she neeeds to be pulled at half time.
Really can’t see them achieving their goal of winning two games and advancing out of the group stage to be honest
It's one thing I hate about football. In the replays it really looks like she launches herself before the contact.
Still a pen and dumb challenge.

Hey guys, I get this feeling that we may not be a very good team.
Klimkova out.

Jesus the Portuguese make the most of any contact. She comfortably won the ball??!?!?
Portugal the better team. They deserve there lead.
Portugal playing all the footie in that half, their players look half a yard faster, their passes are played to players feet.

The mere fact the Taylor was picked to start tells us that the coach has no clue what she's doing. You would think she would have seen her phoenix form.
We are not a team set up to win in my opinion. And good God do we need to find some goals soon.

Right I can confidently confirm we won't win the opening match against Norway.

Wait is that no changes at the half?
unforgivably awful
Oh wait we have. Thank goodness
And we still have naylor in goal,who won't play in the WC
Quite deservedly dragged. She had 10 touches in that 45 minutes, retained possession only 4 times. Numerous positive mentions from the commentators though. think Steinmetz is our only real accomplished footballer out there.
What’s gone on here? Moore is on but Taylor is still on
Portugal only qualified for the 2022 euros because Russia was suspended, so nowhere near the strongest European team.
Holy fudge sack the coach, sack the players. This is absolutely dire. Do any of this lot even want to represent their country? They don't look like it.
Change needs to happen real fast if we don't want this world cup to be a disaster.

I knew Portugal were handy, but they are very impressive. We arent covering ourselves in glory by any stretch, but Portugal arent letting us.
this is a tough watch
can someone who knows the playing personnel better than me please reassure me the situation with this team is recoverable?
