Mexico will not lose today vs USA, and they have 2 games to go, I say NZ would play vs Honduras, Costa Rica or Panama. Panama the more likely to get NZ again to the WC.
Next test RH needs to trial Hogg and Boxall maybe Craig Henderson and Rojas if fit, the main problem today is the lack of games played by NZ during this key 2013, plus more drama since he couldnt find his team yet, it is a big question mark.
At least CONCACAF teams are playing final matches twice this week and two more times next October. This defeat could be better than a victory. You always learn from your mistakes and shortcomings. It is a wake up sign.
