Not a great look IMO considering Qatar's awful record on human rights and corruption, both of which are directly linked to football. Surely we could have organised to play someone else?

Hypocritical of NZ Football to criticise the reported Saudi Arabian sponsorship of the FIFA Women's World Cup but then to be organising to play Qatar who are just as bad if not worse. 

Take the matches and move on. We played China in the last window - Where was this kerfuffle then?

If we narrowed down the countries that we couldn't play because of human rights issues and corruption, we'd probably have to line up Sweden, Norway, Denmark etc in every window. 

There is more of a chance of us switching confederations to UEFA than have that calibre of opponent line up to face us on the regular.

If we narrowed down the countries that we couldn't play because of human rights issues and corruption, we'd only end up playing a handful of countries across the globe.
