After watching Korea in the Asia cup you quickly realise what a good team they are. They are physically strong, technically good and are highly skilled......plus they have good pace and play at a high tempo

NZ could get a thrashing......Hudson is to be admired for blooding youngsters but away to Korea he will need to pick all the senior guys that we have. 

So are the Senior guys going to be at the next world cup if we make it? This is the time to be blooding the players we want for the next world cup campaign. I can't understand the mentality of having to pick the senior guys because you think we won't get thrashed if they play. There is absolutely nothing at stake (apart from pride) in these friendly games. 

Football NZ have to run the AWs like a business, you don't invest money in people you know aren't going to be with your business when it comes to the crucial end of your campaign.
