regardless of the opposition its good for these kids to be playing in different conditions and different countries.

Ref giving plenty of charity

Cambos up and pressing the ball higher now.

Aussie keeper finally gets his first touch (63rd min) and the ball almost makes its way legally into the penalty area

geez, nice crowd

what on earth was the keeper thinking then

he was bored

It seems like the players have took the pedal off....

Thought both brooks and italiano were quality particularly being 13. would like to see what they will bring against a more competitive side.

Shoot farken

Ahh this ref](*,) ..

I muted the commentary at half-time. Listening to the Vietnamese commentary (three word vocabulary) was giving me ebola.

I'm handling it. Arabic commentary always gets the mute from me, never fails to rustle my jimmies.

Disappointing second half considering how precious sleep has come for me

we dont need to play this fast, just control the tempo and be a bit more patient.

Pretty poor second half surprisingly
some poor through balls poor finishing cheep turnovers

that last goal was the best of the bunch. we were patient with possession and opened them up.

good result, some very nice touches and players comfortable on the ball. Still lots of areas for improvement too which is a good thing at this stage.

Great goal

Another disallowed goal
both looked fair to me

the decision making wasnt a big improvement from previous years but better technique and less unforced errors
for the first time finish was ok but still i think this is a weak point

Poor second half but i suspect they took the foot of the pedal a bit considering the game was over at HT.

Interesting to see how they go against a stronger opponent next game.

Decision making can be improved over time, its a common theme at youth level.

Second half was fucked. Literally passed to the Cambodians.

4-0 win makes me happy.

FT 4:0

Seems like this side sorely lacks a Brattan or Antonis like player, someone with patience who knows how to dictate tempo, redirect play, and stretch the opposition while controlling midfield. Also some very poor passing at times out of pure carelessness rather than the state of the pitch. Against higher quality opposition I can see us getting shredded on the counter. However in saying that its their first game, they showed some good signs, and still plenty of time to improve.

Can anyone tell me who got the fourth goal?

nothing that can't easily be improved over time. I thought the players won the ball back a lot better than the previous group. Second half we weren't playing as a team terribly well. The players need to be a bit more patient with the ball, seemed a bit to eager to play it forward at all costs. The last goal was wonderfully constructed and should be the type of football the group needs to play.

Believe it was Ahmed Sweedan no 11

First half of the game now on youtube....

Better quality picture too.

The patience should come with time. The important thing will be how they move the ball and their technique.
