FOOTBALL PROBLEM (5 mins)

5W DEFINITION:

WHAT? OUR FOOTBALL PROBLEM WAS WE PRESSED WITH OUR #6 & #8 TOO HIGH WHICH ALLOWED AUSTRALIA THE SPACE TO FIND THEIR #10.

WHERE? IN OUR MIDDLE THIRD

WHEN? IN THE 11th MINUTE OUR #6 & #8 PRESSED TOO HIGH AND ALLOWED THE AUSTRALIAN DEFENDERS WHO HAD THE BALL JUST OUTSIDE HALF WAY PLAY IN BETWEEN US TO THEIR #10
