WC Intercontinental Playoff vs Costa Rica | Tue 14th June (15th NZT) | 9pm (6am NZT)
Yipe I don't think we want it going to pens. Navas is world class, and they are overall just far more experienced in those high pressure situations. At Brazil 2014 Ticos bet Greece on pens Round of 16, then lost on pens in quarters to the Dutch. That's when Navas first really got noticed. Throw in a heap of UCL knock out games, and he's been there done that many times over.
But to me today's result overall is encouraging for the AWs. An Australasian team shutting down and beating a more favoured Latino side.
Is just such a pity we don't have either or both - Thomas & Singh. Mooy really set the tiempo for Socceroos, dropping deep & getting the ball off his 2 CBs, and playing through from there. Imagine Bell doing that alongside Thomas, with Garbett & Singh in front of them. Really hope it happens one day, and in that scenario I see the AWs playing a back 4.
Peruvians really found it hard to press as high as they did against us, but then Mooy & Co were just more precise with their passing compared to Stamenic, Tuiloma, Bell etc in Barcelona (esp first half in Spain)
Without Thomas & Singh, I think back 3/5 is the way too go. Cacace is hopefully gonna be a big threat for us. 3 CBs allows him more leeway to bomb forward. Boyle (yeah he's a winger) was a big threat against Peruvians today, esp in the first half. I see Libby as our best bet to do similar, not any of our actual wingers.
The @FlyingKiwisFC have gone above and beyond to deck out the stadium tomorrow. Plenty more where that came from too! @NewshubSport pic.twitter.com/OaHAKdjc65

Sail is solid.
Biggest problem is lack of creativity.
The keeper is not among the biggest factors at all in my mind. Even if we had Neuer we won't do much if we can't score.
Seeing the Aussies beat Peru via a penalty shootout has given me more hope, but has also meant I'm expecting a 2 hour stress fest tomorrow morning.

I've really enjoyed the build up that's taken place over the last 9 months. While lacking in experience it's still been a treat to see this All Whites side play with passion and belief and really go from strength to strength. No matter what happens tomorrow I really hope Danny Hay stays on. There's still work to do, but this brand and culture he has nurtured in both the players and the fan base is something I am desperate to see continued. It's been so great to have juneof86 pop in each month to give us the latest inside scoop on the inner workings of concacaf football. I also have felt moreup to date with the goings on in nz football than ever before thanks to Coochie keeping us all in the loop. And everyone else who has chimed in, in conversation this year it's all been very insightful.
It's so surreal the day is finally here, and If we pull off this heist tomorrow, not only will it hold a place in the nation's greatest all time sporting moments, the future landscape of the game in our country will hopefully be changed for the better. At least Five fixtures to see out the remainder of the year. All against quality opposition. These young talents we've developed getting themselves in the shop window to further develop their careers. A heap ton more financial security for NZF. As a fan I have everything crossed fingers, toes, earlobes, you name it.
See you in the morning, everyone. And let's show the footballing world what we're made of!

Probably should get at least a nap in before 3am. Apparently it’s guna be on the FifaPlus site or something, not terrestrial TV?
Cheers mate! Muchas gracias!
I hope you are a naturalised NZer, rather than a neutralised one!

OFC website may stream it (they did all the OFC tourney games)
Or NZF or even FIFA
Off top of my head Hrustic and Boyle would also waltz into a combined full strength ANZAC side. But yeah then it would start to get interesting.
Come on AWs!
When are the starting 11s released?
A bit keyed up to sleep yet.

Probably about an hour before kick off.
