looks like oorschot is our guardian angel again :)
lucky draw against england..

Great result. Luck is all you need in Sokker. Shame NZ have never had any luck in games against Australia:)

we`ll see in a few weeks if NZ is lucky enough to have all players available :)
today we lacked 2 of our best midfielders...

really bad luck for us agaist Sweden...we could had even won this match but Brunton has chosen a bad day to throw away all that chances 1 vs 1 with the keeper

2 red cards in the first 25 minutes...what can i say
half of the first team will be changed for the next match against iceland

this guy could be useful! sent mail to scouts and -21 nt manager but no response.

any thoughts?

really upset after today`s defeat against Australia...everything went good until the silly mistake of Jared Holah...I believe the statistics didn`t show the reality from the pitch

with a little bit of luck, we could have got a draw

I agree

about the draw though...I don't think so. the first goal for Australia was uberlucky, but your goal was also a one in a million shot...:)

i also had millions of chances to score but my strikers were keep dragging the ball into your keeper hands in 1 vs 1 duels...you didn`t mention that :)
and those weren`t considered shots...i can count like 5-6 only in the first half

the draw was perfectly possible

Bodger wouldn't mess up those 1 on 1 opportunities.

maybe i`ll give him a chance next time :)
i`m sure he would have done better than Souter

Never trust ginger samurais ;D
