China/Japan Squad Discussion

I think it's safe to say there will be toys thrown if it's not broadcast here. In fact, would sky be that stupid? Surely not. First games after Halbergs etc.

+1

WTF? We aren't 'Anonymous' we don't have that much power.

Anyway will email now

Japan game off? their earthquake has literally demolished the one in Christchurch.

Highly unlikely that the game will be shown now

Fixed.

Cheers TL

Yeah there will be ground somewhere it can be played (assuming theres even an issue with the initial location)

2 games against china looking on the cards

That sucks.

Well would it simply be OUR call not to go as the J-League is set to resume next week apparently following this weekends postponements?

Van Hattum on 3news said they still plan on going unless Japan pull the plug.

Thanks

I'd rather not have the All Whites exposed to radiation.

Since when has that been an issue? The entire country hasnt fallen into a state of bumfuckery

edit: as radiation has since been made an issue.

On the other hand, we could end up with mutant players packed with superpowers.

Quick, send Mully over.

He's already on his way to China 2ndBest. Hope for prevailing winds and he come back 6'2", 90kg, 5 sec hundred 100m and play like Messi.

Did someone say MUTANT?

http://tvnz.co.nz/football-news/japan-says-all-whites-friendly-go-ahead-4060261 it's a goer!

If Japan still wants us to play then I hope we go without any angsting over safety, player availablity etc

Agree. The risk of another sizable quake while there is very small. The risk of being harmed in such a quake is extremely low. Although player availability may have nothing to do with the quake.

Surely this game should be known as the Seismic Bowl or similar.

Seriously, as t_x says, if the friendly were here I would certainly hope that the visitors would come "without any angsting over safety, player availablity etc".Doloras2011-03-14 14:33:07

To be honest, if I was selected in the AW I would still def go. But to say there is little chance of another sizable quake is just silly, we should now know this by our own experience. Should be a very good way to raise funds for Japanese quake aid if advertised right.

Both these games could be used as fundraisers for earthquakes.. Since NZ, China and Japan have all had quakes in the last few days.

Some people on this thread should think before referring to mutants etc

So we have both a seismologist and a QC on the list now? Are you Ken Ring in disguise?

The team would only be there a couple of days, hundreds of kms away from the epicenter of the quake. You don't have to be a seismologist or a nutter to make a pretty basic summation.

Looks like it probably wont go ahead now with Japan having rolling blackouts.

edit - Heard that on Radio Live but have not actually been able to find any evidence of this on any of several NZ news websites, jfa.or.jp or nzfootball.co.nz

rj big earthquakes like that can trigger other earthquakes on seperate fault lines elsewhere, both seismologists and nutters will tell you that. Please do some research.timmymadden2011-03-15 12:24:34
