Yeah I hadn’t factored that in
WWC23 | England v Spain - Spain win the World Cup - and Rubiales gets sacked
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
Trouble with NZ winning to go though is we just don’t score goals, it’s been a problem for a number of years now. I don’t see us scoring in this game, the Swiss look comfortable defending
I’d be shocked if we (NZ) get a goal let alone the win from this game. I was at the game vs Phillipines and having watched the Norway and now this Swiss game, we just don’t seem to be able to play the ball into any of our forward players feet. Nothing comes through the middle, it’s all long hopeful balls for our striker to try to get on the end of while being outnumbered.
It’s all good though, we are developing. Quietly hoping they prove me an idiot and conjure up some magic, but not holding out any hope.
Totally late to the party on this one, but the atmosphere at USA vs Netherlands was great, and compared to the NZ vs Phillipines game, literally chalk and cheese skill wise.

That’s never a penalty 
we Need to sub off Hannah Wilkinson
They're just dull. Though I admit my feelings are influenced by years of watching their men's teams (national and club) grind out results.Not a fan of Alisha Lehmann's you-know-what?
I also would like to see New Zealand through. But I can't say I have the same wish for Australia since they stand in the way of a Canadian qualification and since my favorite team in the AFC is Japan.
Though in this case, I also think it would be good for the tournament for NZ to go through.
who will norway face in playoff if they finish 2nd in the group?
It's A v C - so Japan or Spain
The winner of Japan vs. Spain.
The only question is which airport that team will be heading to once we’re done with them.
That’s a yellow card at most. We’re getting all the luck with VAR in a game where don’t need it ffs.
Some very tired players in the NZ v Swiss game
11 minutes added to the Norway game - that's just cruel
NZ played so well in the first game, what happened to that team?!

I hope New Zealand can score but they lack quality in attack
8 minutes to save the tournament for NZ - they need to get more players in the box when they're attacking. They need to score.
How did this NZ team beat Norway? Seems like they could play for another 90 minutes and come no nearer to seriously threatening the Swiss goal.
We played our best game and caught Norway on a bad day. The reality is we are in a transition phase with too many older players needing to be moved asideNZ played so well in the first game, what happened to that team?!

Frustrating - losing to Philippines after that start was such a disappointing result.NZ played so well in the first game, what happened to that team?!

Dang it! The NZ goalkeeper had a free header only to put it wide.
GK first to the corner but not doesn't get it on target
On the plus side we won our first game at a WWC and also the crowds have been much better in NZ than expected.
0-0 hosts go out. Swiss do their customary route to the knockouts.
Unfortunately New Zealand just not good enough. Switzerland were comfortable yet uninspiring
A draw in this game is not a bad result but yes NZ threw it away with that surprise loss against Phillipines
Shame for hosts to out this early, although I expect both Norway and Swiss to go out next round anyway
Spain or Japan should be able to find a way to carve that lot open. I hope so for beautiful football's sake.
the tough bit was the incredibly close offside that ruled out out equaliser against the Phillipines, by the letter of the law correct but so marginally close.
Elbow to the ribs and Popp looks like she's in a fair bit of pain. Hopefully just a bruised and winded. 0-0 at 18 minutes.
Big chance for Popp there but not her usual high class finish - apparently she does sometimes miss. Still goalless at 44 minutes.
This may be the match that Colombia practiced for in that (stopped after 20 minutes) training match with Ireland. Certainly, Germany won't be enjoying it. 0-0 at HT, Colombia will be delighted, Germany need to find a way to crack this without getting frustrated themselves.
Damn what a goal, so skillful.
I blame the ref though. The attack that led to a corner should've been a freekick to Germany.

Wowza. Caicedo scores for Colombia 1-0
Chelsea are after the wrong Caicedo.
Oberdorf pushed her luck once too often there. Yellow card.
Germany have been so poor. So many touches ending 10 yards from the player
How can that German team manage to mercilessly torch Morocco and yet be this poor today?
Free kick right on the edge of the penalty area.
Rugby kick
Very poor free kick by Popp.
Great goal, that
