Just pointing out the facts.
You can still make the argument that the finances are not being well-managed (although Sport NZ seem to think they are) and that it was 'lucky' that we got Mexico for the play-off.
But failure to qualify for the World Cup this time around is no longer the financial disaster it could have been, we will actually be better off than immediately after WC 2010 regardless of the result against Mexico.
