It is not that me or anyone here is any smarter, it is just that we know you cannot try and do the same that we tried before, and that is what AV is effectively proposing with minor tweaks.
If we do not try to evolve and improve in this very short turnaround time, we should be packing our bags instead of going sightseeing while Belgium is doing an extra practice.
Maybe they wanted the All Whites to have a rest, a first World Cup group stage for almost all the players, got to have energy for an intense, giant must win match.
With more time, the team can move to Alex Paulsen and Tyler Bindon to start as default. With James McGarry to get game time over Francis Devries as he ages at some point next few years as a substitute.
Got to get a few more clean sheets after the World Cup to go up the world rankings. Let's hope they can schedule a few teams around the level of Peru/Paraguay/South Korea/Czechia. Fascinating what they will choose for November.
