I’ve gone from watching an exciting game with 14 women trying to bash two shades of shit out of each other then springing up for more to watching 22 men (well maybe 11) falling over in agony if someone gets too close to them.
And it’s fucking tedious.

Definitely far less direct ⚽️. The loss of Reid has destabilised our defence. Japanese are starting to create chances

Sarpreet Singh is not in our squad. A Bayern Munich prospect isn't good enough for the Olywhites?

Maybe you should finish the joke with a drumstick for effect? 🥁

Woud makes a great save from a point blank Japanese goal chance

We are under pressure now, Japanese are cranking up the offence

They agreed not to select Singh as he is to be loaned out to another Bundesliga club and would have missed preseason.

He dived right and the ball hit his trailing legs. Lucky.

We are showing a predictable lack of precision in the attacking zone. Someone has to get Wood the ball

Yup. But after the Honduras game he'll take it

Is it 15 minutes each way of extra time before penalties?

Still 0-0 in the Oly Whites v Japan game.

Very shakey here in the gt12 household. My wife - who never watches sport - is very behind Japan putting us away and we keep staying in it.

I might never get laid again if we win.

Can we make it 5 and be done with it?

Except Singh will play for NZ in the future. This is about not biting the hand that feeds them.
