Its funny how a year ago, we couldn't get a US club side to play us in a lead up to a WC qualifier and now we have 5 games.

If anything, this place was a right bitch fest in regards to our preparation leading into the Mexico game. Granted we have nothing to lead into that is 'significant' but I for one am stoked that the team is playing. I don't care where or who, but they are playing. NZF will need to be wary of the mix of games so that costs are balanced out but if they can get some games in Europe which removes the travel impediment for those with their head in their ass, after you have 15-20 games together, you have some structure, culture and a chance to qualify.
