The below par performance of the new zealand hockey team

i was watching the new zealand mens hockey team play england today at the commonwealth games, and to say that their below par performance was worth watching. I wouldnt say that at all. It was a dismal effort against a team which has maybe two hundred test caps altogether. 152 of them coming from one player. (200 is nothing in hockey) new zealand would have maybe four hundred between them. You know that something is up when hayden shaw misses two drag flicks. The problem with the team is that they play too technical. Its a womens style that they are playing. No physicality at all. It looks like their natural style of play is interuppted by way too much passing. If they brought some high school type play back into the squad and varied it up a bit then maybe we would climb in the ranks. The Netherlands do it and to watch them play is like watching a good movie. Full of twists and turns. BUt yeah the new zealand men need to put some man into their performance.
