Roles reversed. We are trying to break the Philippines down, they are defending tightly. I'm not convinced we have the quality to unlock them

Need to use height in the box

Play Wimbledon style for a bit

If we can't make chances I hope the coach has more attacking options available. We made one cross that Wilkinson couldn't catch up with. I think we need to drive down the wings and make the early cross. It's very hard to try and score against a static D

[Bovidae]

A nervy 1st half by NZ, none more so than the hometown girl CJ Bott.

[Chris B.]

Putting the ball in the back of the net is a significant weakness from what I've seen of the Ferns. I was thinking 1-0 was a likely scoreline for this game, so it's not good that we're down.

[canefan]

I hope Milly Clegg is on the bench. Scored several goals for the Nix. Really young, but it's the time to be brave and bold right now

[sparky]

No need to panic. Keep possession, wait for the mistakes and the chances.

[Bovidae]

Two changes at HT. I'd bring Jale on for Wilkinson at some stage too.

[canefan]

Come on girls. Have to keep upping the tempo. Boss midfield

[sparky]

Wilkinson had a free header but couldn’t keep it down. NZ the better side, keep going!

[MiketheSnow]

Won’t get a better chance than that

She is some athlete mind

Similar to the Filipino girl's goal chance. A bit higher

[MiketheSnow]

That was cheap as fuck

[canefan]

We aren't good enough for Tika taka. Have to go full steam ahead

[canefan]

We are on top, but these girls have no idea where the goal is. I predict we lose 1-0, or 2-0 as they capitalise on our mistakes

[sparky]

Hand hits the post.

[Machpants]

Well, at least they won one game!

[canefan]

Yesssssses

[Stargazer]

Awesome goal!

[canefan]

Let's not fuck spiders. Go on the attack and take the win, or at least take the Filipinos out of the running

I'll wait a bit until I drop another line like this, beautiful set up by myself
