Lets be fair- this team has looked much more like a Hudson team: shape , but a bit toothless
What is preferable - a team that just gets the job done (i.e. hoofball) or trying to play on the deck like this and being completely ineffective?

wonder if horsehead is watching. probably the chap to ask. If tonight is anything to go by Kosta, Marco and Brockie are not an attack which will defeat a latin American team. Kosta the most impressive, but needs something to aim at in the centre.

If we can't get past the Islands while trying to play some small amount of football, I think i'd rather us not go through. I'm fine with playing whatever we need to do at World Cup/Confed Cup level when overmatched, but surely we can try and advance our game here.
Luke Adams has been good - deserves the goal.
Considering how Hamish Watson's return has been and that he's in a position we are looking for would he be worth a shout for the 'Nix?
Harsh cards on Brockie and Boxall IMO.
also boxall's long throw is rubbish, wouldn't even call it a long throw
Fudgeing hell the ref is calling some soft shark now
rojas who? his game has deteriorated something chronic he is shockingly bad
As we all feared this pitch is starting to resemble Passchendaele in 1917. More rain before the semis and it will get worse
It's hard to play a precision passing game on a cow paddock. I favour a more direct game with the big bodies of Fallon & Wood (if fit).
It just works at this level .
It's a sign of a good coach to adapt tactics to win, so be interesting to see how Hudson has AWs playing their semi.
this is bullshark - we should go for the 2nd goal.

he doesnt run the ball at all
Poor from the All Whites - They should really be dominating all of these teams, most of our players are full time pros I think Krishna is about the only full time pro from the other nations.
won all the group games. Haven't conceded anything.(except against Fiji. Oops) Scored in all games. Sack everyone!
New Cale has some pro's in france.
not too impressed how we parked the bus along with the Solomons. We'd won the group anyway and its not like we dont need the practice on attack. But i guess a win is a win in those conditions.

I really dislike Fred doing commentary.
Glad we got the win. Roll on Wednesday!

be interesting to see how we go against them
just poor, very underwhelmed by that some of these guys need to have a good hard look in the mirror
Anyone tracking yellow cards?
20 shots, would like to know how many on target
The youngsters were the pick of the bunch - except Dyer, who was just that. Te Atawhai, Luke Adams, Rogerson with another impressive cameo, Ridenton. Others like Rojas, Brockie, Kosta to a lesser extent, we're very poor.
Anyone tracking yellow cards?
Haven't been counting but they're adding up. Some dumb fouls but also a tendency for diving among a lot of these teams. Thought one or two fouls by the Solomons warranted a yellow given what we were carded for - but I thought the refs were pretty good all round.
How many yellows can you get before missing a game in this comp?
Solomons did well with their off-side line in defence - caught us out heaps!

Brockie didn't have anything much to work with to be fair. Delivery into the box was pretty ropey overall, although build-ups were pretty good.I think the whole team will improve with more game-time together. .

thought Kosta was quite good. Made some space, but we didn't seem to have enough bodies in the box on counters and breaks, and Brockie seemed a bit static, though he did put one dangerous ball in from out wide himself.
Reckon Wood would have done well there. Wouldn't mind seeing how Watson would go too. You'd hope Rory would cause a bit more trouble than we saw out there. We weren't a lot of threat, even though we sent in a lot of corners and attacked a fair bit. Marco didn't shine like we have seen from him in the past. The youngsters probably have played together a bit more and in the Hudson system to be fair. Plus they've played in the OFC club comp too.
I don't get all the negativity, its not like we're world champions or anything close to it. If it were the Phoenix playing the result could possibly be similar and i've seen some real shark performances from them too. We are winning, its a bit hot and cold but give the team some time to gel and I'm sure we'll get to a good level by the end of it. We're missing that extra dagger in the middle/up front. Rojas looks a shadow of the player that won the Johnny Warren. Dyer looked pretty handy he needs to atleast get into ASB prem side. TAHW was rock solid and carried his form from ACFC. Kosta was dangerous. Overall we had plenty of chances against a team that bus parked all game and countered.
it seems the island nations have developed more than we have
