"The team will also be looking to play in every subsequent official FIFA window."

Huge if they can keep their word


I'll believe it when I see it. 

Most, if not all of us here have heard that line a number of times before from NZF/SNZ yet how many windows over the past 20/30 years have we not played or only played one game?

Nelsen, Reid, Vicelich, Wood, Elliott, Jackson, Smeltz, Coveny, Batty, W. Rufer, Killen and Zoricich should all have had far more caps and goals to their names then they have due to our bodies inability to organise matches whenever possible over the years.   

Ivan should have easily made 100+ full caps for us and Wood should be close to it too but he's still 31 games away from that record and at the rate we play games he might well never make it.
