Have to wonder what Doyle has done wrong. Hope Colvey has a better game, but he'd be my 3rd choice after the way he played against Vanuatu

I assume it will be a 5-2-3 with Adams at CB, despite the 4-4-2 lineup shown on the TV?

Because he's the best player in the country at his position? Man, Hudson!

Wow, Prelevic defended well there. At least he can do that right.

Someone told me that Fred was doing quite well as a comments man alongside GGW. And you know what, that person was not wrong!

Yes, it does seem like it is Dewhurst that is dragging him down.

I do wonder sometimes how a matches atmosphere influences our impression of how good a game is. Trying to picture this being played in front of 40,000 noisy fans. Would it make it seem better?

He says as Tzimopolous mows their guy down and gets waved on.

Should've been a yellow there for Themi.

a worry if the ref is going to be inconsistent. Games so far the reffing has been good IMO

Annoyingly this stream is quite shaky. Harder to tell if it was a good challenge or not

I normally hold back on the negativity, but boy this is poor stuff on so many levels. Please improve.

Is Prelevic actually really bad, or just bad in this game so far?

I gathered that from the unequivocal condemnation of commentators and commenters!

he hasn;t played well this tournament. Expect TAHW to come on soon. 

We aren't holding the ball in midfield or turning them over in midfield either.

Reminiscent of Pulis' Stoke. Can they do it on a Wednesday evening in Port Moresby?
