Could somebody give me a list if the cancelled matches the All Whites have had since Ricki Herbert has been All Whites manager please?
All Whites, Ferns, and other international teams
Cancelled All Whites Matches
or, you could research yourself. The only one I can think of is the Japan one because of the earthquake.
There was supposed to be a Ukraine match a few days after we played Wales in Wrexham, but they pulled out... Fiji WCQ at the start of the last campaign after Winston Peters' nonsense... and we were supposed to play Iraq a few days after we played Jordan in Amman, but it was cancelled when Iraq wanted it played in Baghdad...
The Fiji game was just postponed and relocated, not cancelled outright, as Glenn Moss can testify.
ah yeh, fair enough :) Croatia game was cancelled in 2003, but that was pre-Herbert
I remember someone from JFA was quoted as saying something along the lines of the NZ v Japan game was postponed as well but it would seem indefinitely. I wonder if NZF will try and follow up on that one at some stage. It might not be a CONCACAF nation but would be a good build up none the less.
im curious, why do you want to know this? seems like an odd piece of info...
I am making an article about the All Whites since RH has been Manager.
Why? He has done a great job.
Highs
- Qualifiying for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
- First ever point in the FIFA Confederations Cup.
- First ever point in the FIFA World Cup.
- First win against a UEFA side in Europe (i.e. Georgia like New Zealand should be in Asia).
- Braking John Adshead's (both spells) record as manager in terms on managing the All Whites (needs 4 wins to equal Adshead).
- Winning the 2008 OFC Nations Cup.
- Unbeaten at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Lows
- Not winning 2012 OFC Nations Cup.
- Not qualifiying for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup.
- Losing 5-0 to Venezuela in 2007 and to Spain in 2009.
- Injuries to key players in the past 7 years.
- Since he has been manager 5 matches have been cancelled and 32 FIFA Match days since 2005 New Zealand has not played in.
- Not many home games.
Ricki Herbert was directly responsible for those cancelled fixtures and you know it.
All the highs are actually Ryan nelsens achievements.
All the lows,yeah they're rickis.
