Elijah Just is the real deal! Hope he makes it to the Premier League, we need more Kiwis over there 💪
nah mate remind me how many times we said that about Winston Reid? or Ryan Nelsen? oh wait they actually did something. this kid might too but hold your horses.
fair call but we don't need to pretend he's already made it. just saying take the hype with a grain of salt.
yeah nah he'll probably end up at some mid-table Championship club and we'll never hear from him again. seen this movie before.
Honestly so stoked for him! Been following his career since the U-20s, the kid has mad skills. EPL here we come!
another overhyped kiwi player who'll disappear after a 'big move' to some bench. wake me up when one of them actually plays consistently in a top league.

yeah but he scored against Italy mate! in a world cup! how many of us have done that? exactly.
Interesting to see where he ends up. Hope it works out, always good to see NZ talent on the world stage.
different era mate. Woods bossed it but our league isn't producing that level. hope im wrong though.
ffs why does the media keep hyping these players up? remember when Chris Wood was gonna be the next big thing? oh wait he actually did alright. maybe this kid is different.
Elijah Just is a beast on the wing. Saw him live vs Fiji – he tore them apart. If the scouts have any brain he'll get snapped up quick.
cope harder. i'll believe it when he's starting week in week out, not just a 'promising' benchwarmer.
Good on him but honestly the World Cup is just exposure, doesn't mean he's EPL ready. let's see how he handles a full season in a proper league first.
lol imagine thinking any NZ footballer can cut it in the EPL. we're a rugby nation, accept it. good luck to the kid though I guess.
funny how the haters come out whenever a kiwi does well. typical tall poppy syndrome. let the kid live.
Mate he's 22 and already turning heads at a World Cup. That's more than most of us armchair experts have done. Let him cook.
facts. some people just love to piss on any good news.
