ONLY FIVE WEEKS UNTIL HE ALL WHITES' NEXT GAME:
Will the All Whites v Japan be on Sky TV? Surely it will be because all Japan team games including friendlies are broadcast in Japan.
Who will coach the All Whites? (Bet you it will be Neil Emblen)
JAPAN V NEW ZEALAND TOKYO WEDNESDAY MARCH 5th 11.40 PM NZ TIME:
(7.40 PM IN TOKYO - JAPAN ARE FOUR HOURS BEHIND US)
"As the first game in 2014 used as the FIFA World Cup year, SAMURAI BLUE (representative of Japan) greeted the representative of New Zealand, and being pitched against each other in the National Stadium on Wed., March 5 determined it.
This game of representative of Japan in the present National Stadium the last."

Alberto Zaccheroni’s side will play once more at home, on May 27 at Saitama, before leaving overseas for training camp.
Japan’s first World Cup game is against Ivory Coast on June 14 in Recife, followed by Greece on June 19 in Natal and Colombia five days later in Cuiaba.
“We’ll only have a couple of days to prepare for the New Zealand game in March,” Zaccheroni said. “We won’t have played since November and everyone plays for different clubs where they do different things, so we need to get everyone back on the same page.”
Impressive coach - Alberto Zacceroni: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberto_ZaccheroniFormer AC Milan, Inter, Juventus, Lazio, Torino, Udinese manager
"He is best known for having managed a number of top clubs in Serie A, and won a scudetto with A.C. Milan in 1999. He is renowned also for his unconventional and trademark 3–4–3 tactical system."
"Three-at-the-back" advocate like our Ricki was.
