damn it, he got a hand on it too

ACT Crusader

Pressure was building and we got caught with a man open in the box.

Kiwiwomble

so different to the iran game where we actually managed to get the ball through the middle and create oportunities

ACT Crusader

Come on. Too much complaining and they went on attack.

Kiwiwomble

1-2

shold have been a free kick but also get up and play

bayimports

yep hopefully Egypt try to shut up shop and we can sink another set piece with a limited reply in counter attack...big hope

ACT Crusader

I hate this game.

Kiwiwomble

Kiwiwomble

Disappointing we conceded that last goal, but the guys were strong in the first half.

Bovidae

A disappointing 2nd half. NZ won't be happy with the poor marking from those crosses. Defending 101.

KiwiPie

Poor defending for first goal and keeper should save it. Sarah's goal was excellent. Third goal sloppy defending. I reckon the Egyptian coach just reminded his team at half time that NZ players aren't top level players - gave us no time and space and we coughed it up.

No Quarter

I missed a lot of the 2nd half due to work, but agree @kiwipie I suspected they would come out and try to pressure us into mistakes. Huge effort though, must have really put the shits up their fans at half time 1-0 down.

The way Belgium is playing - or not in this case - I wouldn't give up hope just yet

Argentina have arguably the greatest player in the world - ever in some eyes - but fuck me they’re boring to watch

Lazy as fuck

Yeah, take Messi out and they are less than ordinary.
The 10 other guys hit the jackpot by being in the same team as him.

The Golden Boot is a ridiculous drag race. Messi already has 5, Haaland and Mbappe have 4. They've all played twice.

Messi is the best player i have seen, and it's not close.
