So, looking ahead to the playoff, thought we could reflect on the previous one... looking at these two games, the questions that came to mind were:
- are Peru worse than Mexico?
- are the All Whites better now than in 2013?
If the answer is "no" to either question then things are going to be very tough... but all fun and games..
1. No certainly not. Though they will be under huge pressure having not been to the big dance since 1982.
2. Yes undoubtedly. Much better prepared and at the moment (touch proverbial piece of timber), Reid is available unlike 2013. Also Wood & Thomas have come on nicely since then. We are a shot if only a long one.
