Sweet as a nut!!

CONCACAF has 6 qualifying games left. Fingers crossed I reckon Canada (FIFA ranking 40) or Panama (63). At a neutral venue, full strength, one off have a real shot!

Wonder if NZF & Hay will try plan now for 'CONCACAF simulation' opponent, January window. Haiti (FIFA ranking 87)? They played in Bahrain a few months back.  Trinidad & Tobago (100) 

Top 8 ranked sides in CONCACAF, are the 8 teams in their WC qualifying final stage that finishes March window next year.

Or just stay with AFC, CAF opponent rumours - given is some top 100 CAF teams maybe available.

A real hard quality friendly early days June, about 10 days before 13th-14th June playoff, also shapes as a must game somewhere in Europe. Should be plenty of options with most teams having well finished WC qualifying. Even 2 friendlies from say late May to give all of a 23-30 man squad a run, as the jump in quality & intensity from that March OFC tourney to Panama or whoever will be huge.

FYI - Curacao have a FIFA ranking 80. What a handy choice as a friendly they may turn out to have been. Curacao only lost a 2 legged playoff to Panama June this year on aggregate 2-1, meaning Panama went though to final stage qualifying.
