All Whites V Saudi Arabia Friday 6 Sept 6.15am SS2

Of course he's going to lose sharpness. Training fitness is totally different to match fitness. It will also be an issue if the Phoenix do not allow him to train with them - doing your own training is never the same as training with a squad. (Does anyone know if it's definite that he is allowed to train with them)

As far as playing in the Indian league goes - the only comment I make is Kayne Vincent played in it and was a star, then he moves to Japan and hardly gets game time. So that's the quality of that league. So what if Colosimo, Mehmet are there, doesn't mean Indian League is great prep for AWs going to the world cup. 

I guess he'll be fine if AWs are only going to be playing against nobody but the CONCACAF team they come up against will not exactly be pushovers.

Vincent didn't do much when he was at Waitakere.

Its a pro option starting soon. China and thailand etc finishing soon. 

Guess everyone's definition of pro footy is different. 

IMO I think he's in NZ cause he isn't good enough to get anything, anywhere else. At the very least I thought one of the other A-League sides might have been interested but no-one came calling which says a lot. 

So Reg and TV you might be right, India may be the only League that might offer him something.

And let's not forget, playing in the ASBP gets Ivan picked each and every game.....

Big win tomorrow, I can feel it in my bones.

5 - 0 was easy enough last time

for those of us in the UK does anyone have a stream for the kick off in 45 minutes?

I know you're in a different time zone, but i'm hoping you are in a different space time continuum, otherwise i've missed the game!

COYAW

Not even on tv yet, updated planner says 6.25...grrrr

They keep bumping it out for some reason.

has Dennis slept in?

Would imply a problem at the ground

one possible stream http://www.justin.tv/xllx_tvtoday#/w/6738163120/3

nice to find out I could have had an extra 25 minutes in bed

good crowd there 

Looks like a Phoenix crowd. If this was in NZ, there would be outrage....

Stream anyone? Only one I can find is Saudi.

do we lose now to play trinadad and tabago?

So it was Moss, Sigmund, Reid, Smith, Lochhead, Kosta, James, Butler, Brockie, Wood and one other I missed

Right so a 4-2-3-1. That's what I'd prefer to see

Fred didn't ask them for their $2k each. I can tell cause there are no names on the back of the shirts. It's all part of the program Fred...

We just got split open the length of the field...

Damn NHS has justintv blocked and the other doesn't work here, any other links?  Have tried usa goals etc

For all the people that said Moss can't organise a back 4, he's certainly talking a lot.

Why are the Saudi bench wearing black when we wear black? Surely they should be in bibs.

my betting syndicate (lead by Greenie) has $500 on Saudi to win this.  After 10 mins of the game, i am very nervous.

keep trying to force the pass when its not on

should be 1 up not happy with kosta so far

Dura is putting in a ton of yards. Getting to both ends of the pitch
