"Schmid expressed his satisfaction of being offered a benchmark test against a world-class opponent in the Republic of Ireland.
The Swiss also reaffirmed his ambition to secure further international fixtures, besides another European-based game in the November international window, to offer his young team extensive international exposure through a complete match calendar for this important year."
Sounds like Schmid maybe getting a little bit of that 'no AWs games' angst, that made Huddo have a go at NZF & Martin in the media one time.
Anyway looks like NZF are trying hard for further games. Socceroos for March or June? Come on FFA, give us a game!
Bit hard to organise things when you have no staff.
