NZF in a really awkward situation here. Morally they need to vote for Ali.But just because Ali is running on a 'change' platform, there is no guarantee that will be the case.
OFC likely to get an easier WCQ path with Blatter in charge. The financial implications of that can not be understated. Voting for Ali would put us offside with many of OFC nations given the money poured into the region recently. Which can have other implications when the OFC exco vote on various issues. Without being on the OFC exco then NZ is in a pretty sharkty position if they piss off all other OFC nations.
That's a relatively short term position Dale. As hard as it might seem, the right play is the the long term game here. Blatter won't be there in a few years time and change will happen.
