Not good enough in the midfield. Switzerland didn’t offer much but technically superior.

No end product. We huffed and puffed but lacked any sort of cutting edge up front. 100 minutes of football and we could only manage a couple of shots on goal

If you'd told the Ferns they were going to beat Norway and draw with Switzerland they'd have been dancing in the street and expecting to be in the play-offs.
Losing to Philippines was an absolute killer - alongside our lack of goals!

Yes, the win against Norway raised expectations to the roof!

@Canerbry Same thing happened before the Philippines game. I think FIFA time limit the anthems.

That Philippines result was a shocker.
Good performances and results though against both Norway and Switzerland. Proud of the Soccer Ferns for battling away.

They really let their level slip, the mindset is a little different when you go into the match considered the favourite

@canefan Panic seemed to set in when they went 1-0 down when they had to trust their processes and their athleticism.
A good learning for the younger members of the squad, but they will never have the chance again of making the second round of a home World Cup.

I felt like we played far too passively in both the Phillipines and Switzerland games. We needed to jump on both teams early, but especially in the case of the Filipinos we left them space and were punished

Columbia are up against ze Germans 1-0. I've only been watching 10 minutes or so, but the Columbians display the best and worst of footballers from that part of the world. Audacious skill, and a propensity for simulation and demanding the ref card the opposition
-
What a finish
As good a headed goal as you'll see
Columbia winners 2-1
