Last Saturday we were supposed to play the first friendly match of the season, but unfortunately, the Dutch coach forgot to put in the line-up and so we won 5-0.
Good for us :)

Good luck!

Thank you !!! :)

Tomorrow we face Sweden U21.
The match was prepared to play against Holland, but it will be a very good test tomorrow's match.
Finally I can observe the behavior of our players and understand how strong we are and whether there is still something to improve, especially at the tactical level.
So, I expect you all tomorrow to cheer together our New Zealand U21 players :)

It was not a beautiful game, especially defensively where I will see if I can make some changes.
We conceded the first goal on a penalty kick, while the second goal we conceded from a 'wrong exit of our goalkeeper.
He seemed to have blocked the ball with his hands, but the ball slips from his hands having also a very very high parry skill and gives the goal to the Swedish striker in an easy way.
Mulligan did nothing but send the ball out to give away the throw-in, and many stops by our midfielders started many opposing plays.
Mitchell was the only one who looked fit and many actions started from him and he was also the most dangerous to our opponents.
Too bad he didn't find the goal because he deserved it.
He gives us some hope Van Dyk, but he scores in the 85th too late and it ends 2-1 for Sweden

Its just the first game....heads up, you will do good.

I will try to do my best thank you :)

Sokkerians of new zealand, I want to wish you all a good start of the year.
Happy 2025 :)

Here is our next game to be played tomorrow.
Denmark's coach is an Italian like me, and so far he has had a win against Scotland and a loss against Italy.
I have never faced in the league or in any other way this Italian like me, but I notice that he has been registered for only 3 years and that makes me happy because there is someone who is willing to register in Sokker and try to lead nationals.
I hope to have a good game and see our players ready and meaner than the game against Sweden.
So, I will see you all tomorrow. :)

Good luck.

There is very little to say, because we played a very bad game.
Despite the fact that they lost a midfielder to injury and played with 10 for a red card, our team was never incisive and we conceded too many chances.
The forwards were always offside, the midfielders struggled with who to pass it to and our defense tried to block the many attacking attempts that would have ended the game with many more goals for our opponents.
Certainly we are not as strong as Denmark, but I certainly got many things wrong, first of all the tactics.
I will have to start doing something in the future because this is not the path I wanted to take with the new Zealand U21.
