Glad they got that penalty cause they look like dog shit right now. Outplayed in every aspect.They need to maintain possession so they can gain some semblance of confidence.
I wouldn't agree, I think Ukraine are pressing high and trying to get an equalizer. While we're sitting back, waiting for a counterattack or an opening in their defense.
Our defense has been relatively solid this tournament but we really don't have the defensive quality to sit back against an offense like Ukraine's. We're one errant touch away from an equalizer; I've seen 3 potentially disastrous touches from our defenders in or around the box so far. Let's let our midfielders battle in the center and leave the defense to be the last bastion.
that's the tactic. we're sitting back and making them press. Ukraine have done terribly with long balls going out of bounds. we also haven't had a good counter opportunity but when it comes we should come to life.
Colour me surprised. Idiotic tackle by CHW in a completely safe position. You can't away cheap set pieces to a team that's so much stronger and taller than you.
Conceding the equaliser relatively early might be better for our overall play throughout the match, because sitting back was never going to be a good idea against this opposition.
They need to calm down and get themselves together. Ukraine are playing so well right now. Can’t even be mad if they win.
