Two reports in one - firstly cos I'm not well, secondly cos I didn't see all 90 minutes of either game, thirdly cos I'm lazy, fourthly cos someone (who's too chicken to put his name to his whinge bagging me out for not writing a report and fifthly cos I'm rather to single out anyone!
So..on to the brief reports. If England and Australia (v Germany) had put in half the effort the boys in Maroon put into their two games, they' have been getting much better results.
The Hogs match is always a bit of a grudge game, but like the first match at home, seemed to be played in a pretty good spirit. With the wind in our favour, Dave C's corer flew straight into the net, but from then on it was hardly backs to the wall stuff. As in the game against the Azzurri the week before, passes were being played mostly to feet, Pete was hardly troubled in goal and from the 45 minutes I saw, I don't think the Hogs could have been too upset by the scoreline.
For the makos match I arrived just in time to see Pete make a blistering save, but at that stage we were already 1-0 down. What i did see was the ball being predominantly in the makos half, although admittedly shots were few and far between. As the match progressed and we through everyone forward, makos caught us with a swift break in virtua;;y the last minute. 2-0 flattered them but a few more performances like that will see us very soon on the whites coattails.
Sorry for the brevity of the report, feel free to flesh it out in the comments section.
