Asunto: National Team

Hirons strikes again, this time again after pass of Papalia! :]

Hirons got greedy and wouldn't let Papalia get the assist :p.

Nice win Borkos :)

I think it was a great show made by Sokkeroos. First goal after long pass of Schwarzer, and Byers finished it properly.

Second was a good idea of Hirons, who passed instead of dribbling, and Dreger finished it.

Third one - Papalia goes from wing to the middle, and makes a pass to Hirons, who passes to Dreger, who is put down. Penalty changed for goal by Hirons.

And another situation made by Papalia, who made a pass to Hirons - 4:1.

I think all Australian community can be proud of what youngsters shown :-)

questions will be asked about the eligibility of a 24 yr old playing in an U20 match :p, but nice work for a good match :).

Even if they scored all shots, it would be 4:3. ;)

And NT coach of Norge was informed about Necevski.

Thompson was pretty good at wing.

And Haliti, who is rather def, played as centre mid - that's the reason of few bad passes.

Necevski played well , great save at the end there just to keep it at 4 - 1. Overall, I'd say it was a pretty good performance, Papalia played extremely well and Dreger and Hirons up front had some great chances.

Yes, this shot of Hirons hitting the bar...:)

Byers had the best goal:shot ratio :)

Mehlum got 1/1 :P

;)

And Dreger had best shot/time played ratio. :p

Propably because defs were exhausted after first half :)

i'd say cause defs fumbled and papalia came on just quietly :p.

:)

Btw - Papalia gone onto the field normally...or he teleported? I've though for a second, that there's system failure and he isn't going in, but then he...got the ball :p

Yeh when I saw him there, I was thinking, did I blink and miss him...or was he always there

Byers had the best goal:shot ratio :)
That's 'cos he kept fumbling the ball and Hirons picked up the scraps.

I liked the tactic Borkos. I think it worked very well on many dimensions. Hopefully you can see where it was good and integrate those things into future tactics.

Yes, I liked it too. I was surprised how often did Papalia and Schwarzer carrying the ball on right wing - very nice suprprise :). Also finally I've managed to make the real winger get into the box, and try shooting goal, Timpano has some striking so it can be useful :).

I think that defence worked pretty well, the only goal for Norge was after great pass, the defs had nothing to do about it.

And I'm pretty optimistic about future after seeing Byers - Dreger - Hirons trio working so well together :)
