Details on next The All Whites friendly announced. Against Oman in Muscat on November 13th. Not sure if now still due to play Lebanon in Beirut on November 17th?
That game may have been canned due to security fears? From memory Hudson is against, playing 2 matches in a FIFA window.
Hope the gaffer knows what he is doing. Playoffs vs 5th placed CONMEBOL team are only 2 years away, and still we persist with playing Asian teams. I guess beggars (NZF) can't be choosers, but to me this is all heading towards another shambolic rushed buildup mess as in 2013, before the playoffs verus Mexico.
Should now be aiming to play CONMEBOL/CONACAF or 2nd tier UEFA teams now, in readiness for playoffs in late 2017. Whats the beat come early 2017, and all the AW will have done in the last 3 years is play a host of mediocre Asian/Oceania teams.
Conmebol teams play each other on the November window, same as Concacaf and UEFA teams, they all have WC Qualifiers matches
No WC qualifying matches in Europe yet, November window is for EURO playoffs. Meaning there's 40-odd European teams who have no official competition games in this window.
