Just watched a peruvian tv show were they singled out Hudson for praise...essentially saying that the best thing NZ had was the coach. They stated he is a modern coach 


Lol, he has the best talent available that any NZ coach has ever had with 5 players in the top leagues of Europe (Boyd, Wood, Reid, Thomas, Rojas). This could arguably be our golden generation.

I think if you compare the highlights of the 2010 squad (Nelsen, Smith, Reid, Elliott, Vicelich, Smeltz, Killen, Fallon) with those of this squad (Reid, Smith, Thomas, Rojas, Wood) we are not in quite as strong a place as then, but we do have better depth now and I think the current crop have the potential to be better than the 2010 side, in the next WC cycle.

Interesting to note that the 2010 WC squad had four NZFC players and two members of Unattached FC. This squad has no #HandyPrem or Unattached players, but does of course feature players from the sixth and seventh tiers of English football.
