    NZ has a lot of hurdles when it comes to football. Country size, the fact that we excel at so many other sports and pursuits and probably Rugby. I think our best chance is to attract overseas prospects who wouldn't make top teams in their own country. Sounds terrible but it's either that or spend a fortune on a great coach and let him have a pool of players permanently to torture into being great.

    NZ can't afford either option to be frank.

    To be fair, I don't expect us to win many games against decent opposition or make another world cup while I'm still alive but as long as we get rid of the negative hoofball tactics, I'll be happy.

    Although maybe it's the attitude of people like me which is holding us back.

    and it's a long haul thing too. nota problem that is gonna be sorted over night or ever potentially.

    I'm not sure you actually would. Teams failing horribly to play expansive football isn't that much better to watch, just ask Spurs fans.

    Down 4 goals to Japan within 20 minutes. >_>

    Haha, we were paying 15 to win, no idea why we had two teenagers debut and have no idea why Chris wasn't starting, such a joke

    Had $200 on over 2.5 match goals @ $1.50. Made $100 profit in 10 minutes :) Now for Keisuke Honda to score a hattrick for my other bet....

    Got home, saw the cricket was at lunch, flicked to this and laughed.

    Because it was a friendly...

    Did we just look like a bunch of school boys out there or did we actually make some progress?


    Phoenix had some shabby results while they changed tactics but seem to do well now.
    Hopefully this is the same.
     
  12. 99* JJ Ritchie

    Probably won't see much progress until a new coach is finalised.
     
  13. Gazza GJ Weaver

    Obviously, but the amount of friendly's we get a year is very low
