Fair enough. A game against likes of Socceroos, South Korea or Japan would be better than nothing given limitations on availability of countries in that October window.
Even the 7th best CONCACAF side would still be handy opposition if someone like Panama, El Salavador, Honduras etc. Maybe play the game in USA aligned with a training camp
Also by October European season will be back in full swing, so club coaches of the European based pros will be happier if their AWs players are going stateside rather than longer haul flights into Asia. It's crucial that post Confeds Cup, Hudson has all his AWs squad available (unless injured) for games & training camps - and he needs to have the club coaches on board with that.
