If we're playing Lebanon away a trip back to the Philippines or NZ wouldn't really be practical in the same window. Another Middle Eastern, North African, or even European team away would make sense. Or a friendly on neutral ground in London. Didn't we play Australia at Craven Cottage about 10 years ago? A rematch of that would attract some interest with both countries' expats in London you'd think

We did it was Ricki Herberts first game in charge, think it was actually an Aussie "home" game, we lost 1-0 to a late goal. There were lots of ex pat Kiwi & Aussies there as well as quite a few AFC Wimbledon fans as Shane Smeltz had just signed for them

could be good but I'd prefer to see NZ actually play in NZ for a change!

As a side note I was at Wimbledon the other day watching them lose to Plymouth and the programme had a write up on the clubs first international player (as AFC).
