He coached vs Fiji at the Caketin, but yea we're doomed with him in charge.
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.
The English Championship where Smith plays is likely a higher level then the Netherlands and definitely higher then Portugal.
It most definitely isn't. Granted, lower half of the Championship is better than the lower halves of the Eredivisie and Primeira Liga, but the likes of Ajax/Feyenoord/PSV/Utrecht and Ryan Thomas' own club Zwolle could comfortably beat any championship team, as could Benfica/Lisbon/Porto/Braga. Far more talent comes from these leagues than the championship, they actually play with the ball on the ground in the Netherlands and Portugal. But anyway, Most Zwolle fans agree also that Thomas is by far the best player on the team and will move to a bigger club soon. Potentially a good replacement for when Ayoub leaves Utrecht, but similarly Hakim Ziyech will likely move from Ajax soon and I'd love to see Thomas get signed by a club as huge as AA (not just because I come from a long line of Amsterdammers). I think then we really would be looking at a golden generation, particularly if Boyd continues his rise through Europe (although for now Tondela is a good fit)
