New Zealand "A" vs Fiji

i thought it was an awful game; barely looked like football. 

We probably wont play Fiji until Sep 2008. That is when we play the top ranked island team after the pacifc tournement. I assume fiji will win that.

NZ needs a change of mindset. We need to actually start playing football. Pass the ball around more and try a few things. I only saw the first game but I thought Fiji looked like the team trying something and most likely to score.

you're right hammer head.  ricki herbert has introduced that notion to his sides, but funnily enough, i didn't see it over the weekend with jonathan gould coached invitation xi... our only route to goal appeared to be a long hoof.  i saw it from fiji however, they looked a tidy side - just couldn't finish

I think the problem with a lot of Nz players and coaches is we panic.

What do you expect from a Gould coached team?? Fashanu up front I mean Messem.  I'm sure he would be happy with the way the game was played.  He looked really bussy in the first game.  I had my doubts he could step up but he seemed to do well.  Brockie was quite and didn't look like an all white.  Best part of the game was the comments man.  He had knowledge of all the players on the field and was never short of somthing to say.  Loved him. 

LOL yeah that guy comments for most of the big games in fiji. the support for the local comp's there is crazy i wish we could have support for football like that here

yeah, the commentator was a crack up.  first and second names for everyone every time!  i thought that gordon glen watson was quality in game two.  a rival for mark elrick for a-league games maybe?
