Mexico vs New Zealand
ye he did look good much better player then Brockie however as we
all know NZ football does not go by skill it goes by what kind of
name u have. Since Brockie was lucky enough to have played for the
knights and god knows sydney FC he will likely get that under 20s
spot unfotunetely. I totally agree that Spoonley was the player of
the tournament he was really good, but thats quite sad putting a
goalkeeper player of the tournament. But really no one else played
very well. Purcell was also good today.

I remember him having a huge game against Team Welly in one of
those last two NZFC matches last season as well.
The NZ U20's finished 22nd out of 24 teams in the World Cup in the
end.
As Canada and Scotland loss all their games too, but ended up
with a worst goal difference.
agree with most of pavlos comment a lot of blame on brockie but i
think keats should put his hand up and take some heat he was
captain can some1 tell me why?? thought he was the worst of the
bunch
I think experience whys. Hes played for Team Welly for a while and
was very good. Played in america a bit. But ye who else was there?
I thought spoonley should be but i guess only the team will know
whos the best leader. Im not too sure only know a few of the
players. All i gotta say is nz footballs based on who u know not
how good u r. Caz there were players that should have made that
team that werent there!
Bollocks... I'll informed clap trap.

Thats funny. I thought I heard one of the commentators
laughing in the back ground, during the game against Gambia. They
must have thought we were sh*t!
Also at half time in the mexico game, the commentators on the
fifa game were chatting live when they thought they were off line.
One commentator was appoligising to the other for having to be
watching the nz vs mexico game. he asked if the gambia game was any
better.

Quality.
After watching all 3 game under 20 world cup game it is clear that
our 3 best players are Jenkins, Boxall and Draper + Spoonley is a
quality goalkeeper! Jenkins was easily our most dangerous player on
attack he just didnt get the ball enough in the Gambia game and
even in the other 2 games, against Mexico and Portugal he
showed he has the skills and technical ability to beat any of there
defenders on the dribble how about his roll back then flick nut meg
against the Mexico defender in the 1st half was quality!
Boxall is a super athlete he looks fast fit and strong and didnt
look out of place at all in this world cup! and draper seemed to
have a goof first touch and eye for goal which I liked! There 3/4
players can should easily be playing professionally somehwere! Will
there be an Olympic team this year cause surely these guys would be
in it!
That game was an absolute class showing from NZ, considering how
many people were saying they shouldn't even be at the tournament
and how they would finish last, not score a goal, etc.. They
deserve all the credit in the world for fighting so hard against a
much better mexican team in a stadium containing mostly mexican
fans.
Spoonley was definitely the standout, making several huge
saves when no one could've expected him to, and he really can't be
faulted for either of the goals. Pelter played a very good game and
so did Brockie I'd say. Roydhouse was also a standout, but mostly
because of his incredibly stylish mullet.
I'd say of the 32 000 fans at the game, maybe 100 were NZ
supporters, with the rest being either mexicans or canadians. I
spotted one woman wearing an Auckland City shirt and a few AW
jerseys in the crowd but they were largely drowned by the sea of
green and spanish chanting. I was delighted that the AW's did a
haka after the game, but annoyed that I had to explain to my
friends what a haka was. I think the majority of the fans realised
the significance of their performance and gave them a good response
in the end.
That was a fun game to be at. I just wish the Canada/Congo
game didn't suck so much...
