    Just a matter of time, this NZ is no stronger than Guatemala.

    Hmmmm, I have thought that McKenzie has been moving the ball well.

    And if he keeps shooting maybe he will actually hit the goal at some point.

    They both seem reluctant to drive the ball into space and play fw when it's staring them in the face. Richards isn't finding the long balls he had last match.

    We totally lack lateral movement in midfield. It's embarrassing.

    A rival can predict exactly how we plan to get to their area.

    Musah has settled into the game. He’s playing well enough now. He’s not balling but he’s a constant outlet.

    I like Morris attitude a lot.

    He's like McKennie before he gave up.

    I'm watching on delay, but even before watching a minute of this I realize it doesn't get much more un-Poch than a starting front three of Wright, Pepi, and Balogun... maybe Sargent for Balogun is worse?

    Would wager quite a bit that we won't seeing that again for the next 2 years.

    Crowd noise with the drum and droaning ohhhh is horrendous to listen to on TV. I wish they would stop.

    Why can't we have an American announcer? I think we're past the cute accent. I guess casuals enjoy it? I dont

    Could Wright have laid out for that?

    Pepi has to finish that. Fossey looks good, but it’s NZ.

    Put on mute and watch the game to Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Great experience.

    everyone is growing into the game, but no one is threatening. Pulisic for Pepi at the half

    30 years ago I'd have looked decent against the Kiwis.

    Shite freekick from Aaronson, then no ideas after. This team looks toothless despite having 3 strikers on the pitch that score consistently for their club teams. Tells you everything you need to know.

    Why would we decide to pass the ball all the way back into our defensive third?

    That is the pass I do not like. Lund is out wide with the ball and passes it across into his own crowded box.

    Finally got to the called back goal. Hilarious. As NZ cleans a US player put 30 seconds later with no call. Not exactly a quality official.

    Pepi has been poor. Balogun is the best player on the pitch by a mile. Morris has surprised me this camp. I honestly never rated him, but he’s growing on me.
