00:00Alright, alright, alright. How's everyone doing? Hope you're all doing well. I'm doing well, thanks for asking, and today I
00:07will be playing some 2006 FIFA World Cup.
00:13Let's go ahead and get started.
00:39Alright, I just wanted to adjust the settings.
00:57So some drinks, and we have some Kuglue Gatorade Zero.
01:11Glacier Freeze, Gatorade Zero as well.
01:20Splash Orange Refresher as well.
01:35Sunsip Cream Soda.
01:44And some Sunsip Root Beer.
01:55I like the Sunsip Cream Soda.
02:02I'm going to talk to my mic like this now.
02:03I'm going to talk to my mic like this now.
02:10...level into the international scene. Not easy, but they're capable of doing it.
02:16So, we're underway.
02:20York.
02:26Chance, baby!
02:27That's blocked.
02:29Couldn't retain possession.
02:36Gain possession in midfield.
02:38This is York.
02:41Oh, no.
02:41It was always going to be a defender's ball.
02:46Glac.
02:53Merchall.
03:01He's definitely one of the better tacklers around.
03:04Excellent stuff.
03:05Technically got it right and held onto it.
03:09Verne's.
03:16This is Schweinsteiger.
03:23Good forward pass from the defender.
03:26That's a P.
03:35John.
03:36Now, can he put it away?
03:38And they are off to a flying start.
03:45It's a really bright start to this game, but they have to keep pushing men forward.
03:50They've got to keep getting in their box.
03:52That was counter-attacking football at its very best.
04:03He gets his first goal, and it's 1-0 here.
04:09Blamed in midfield.
04:11That's a P.
04:13Edwards.
04:18Now, this is a good position, isn't it?
04:21Safety.
04:24I've seen goalkeepers spill them from there.
04:27That's a really good bit of goalkeeping.
04:29Loses the ball.
04:31Had his geography all right there.
04:33He knew where he was.
04:34He knew where his opponent was, too.
04:35I've seen that defender before.
04:38I like him.
04:48That's a searching ball.
04:51Balak.
04:53Frings.
04:56Verne's.
04:58Good rhythm about that passing now.
05:01Closer.
05:04Mikael Balak.
05:11Good combination.
05:15Ooh, you wouldn't want to come between those two.
05:18This is York.
05:21York.
05:25Possibilities.
05:26He caught hold of that shot all right, but so did the keeper.
05:29That's brilliant work.
05:30That really has got himself in exactly the right spot to make that save.
05:34They have the ball in midfield.
05:36If he can find some space, he's the sort of player who will find you.
05:42Possession lost.
05:44Moving the ball up the field.
05:50That's a P.
05:51Just play the right pass more often than not.
06:04First 45 minutes are almost up and it's still anybody's game.
06:11Andrews.
06:14I'm not sure he really knew what he was trying to do there.
06:18Balak.
06:19Does see those situations developing, doesn't he?
06:25He does know how to win the ball.
06:27And just one minute of time for injuries and stoppages to add on.
06:35John.
06:37Important tackle.
06:40This is Balak.
06:47Lawrence.
06:49Latipi.
06:52Referee blows for the end of the first half.
06:54It's now 1-0.
06:56I wonder which manager is going to be brave if I ever changes it first here.
06:59Because I can't pick a winner out of these two.
07:04Foo!
07:05Foo!
07:12Foo!
07:15Foo!
07:18Foo!
07:19Foo!
07:20Foo!
07:21Foo!
07:22Foo!
07:22Foo!
07:22Foo!
07:23Foo!
07:24Foo!
07:28They've had 15 minutes in the company of their managers.
07:31We'll have to find out if they've learnt anything.
07:41So they know if they can find some space, he'll get the ball to them.
07:45Actify the defender.
07:52They've taken over possession in the middle of the park.
08:03Scotland.
08:05Oh no, it was always going to be a defender's ball.
08:14He's right back there.
08:16Oh, only just offside. I tell you what, that was a good run. I very nearly got in.
08:21Sancho.
08:23He can't pass the ball.
08:28Scotland.
08:32Strider.
08:41Frings.
08:44Malak.
08:47That's a wonderful sliding tackle, clean as a whistle.
08:49He was caught in two minds there, I think.
08:55Scotland.
09:04That's a pain.
09:06He can't afford to lose possession.
09:09Closer.
09:14Control was clumsy.
09:18Long ball not hit with any kind of accuracy.
09:24Wins the ball on the wing.
09:27Stone John.
09:33Promising attack.
09:39Got to it somehow.
09:42This goalie looks really in charge back there today.
09:45He's organising his defence and he's making some great saves.
09:50Mikael Balak.
09:58That sucker.
10:02It's the sort of player who's always looking for that kind of a pass.
10:06will be passed carefully.
10:16Possibility's there, but it's offside.
10:18It's one of the strong points of this team, Clive.
10:20They know the offside game and they play it very well.
10:35Andrews.
10:40Balak.
10:47Kuranyi.
10:52Twice a shot.
10:53Still trying everything they know to get back into this game.
10:57That's a decent strike.
10:59That's unlucky.
11:01Sancho.
11:02Try to squeeze it back to him.
11:07Kuranyi.
11:13That's quick passing.
11:15It's a foul and a bad foul too.
11:17Lucky not to be booked for that.
11:19What a big chance.
11:20Are they going to take it?
11:26Good save.
11:27Couldn't hope to hold it.
11:29Good goalkeeping.
11:30You can't hang on to it.
11:31Push it away for a corner.
11:42We are into the closing moments of this game.
11:47Balak.
11:52Closer.
11:54He shoots.
11:55Keeper just tipped it away.
11:56Good keeping.
11:58That's excellent work from the goalkeeper.
12:00That really is.
12:01Now they must see off this corner.
12:07Possibilities.
12:08Still behind.
12:09But still trying to pull a goal back.
12:14And two minutes being added on.
12:16Four stoppages.
12:19Closer.
12:21Now he's found an unmarked man here.
12:25It's a foul.
12:26And a bad foul too.
12:27Lucky not to be booked for that.
12:29They're the sort of tackles that referees tend to miss.
12:32And that should be a yellow card.
12:34That's the key to good passing.
12:36Good movement off the ball.
12:37It's a stunning start guy.
12:43Everybody looks at his watch.
12:44And blows the whistle.
12:46Great win here in this friendly.
12:48Just see a confidence boost that the manager and his team needed.
12:51Ahead of the World Cup qualifiers.
12:54Well it just goes to show Clive.
12:55it.
