SKY won't show it.

maybe our friend iraqgoals ?????????????

No killen for the Jordan game

http://tvnz.co.nz/football-news/killen-s-withdrawl-leaves-door-open-2968329

today:
Jordan vs Malaysia

Oh FFS

do you think the game will be shown on iraq goals?

maybe.. they have had a lot of games lately. Though who knows. It'll be pretty low key

No Chris Wood now either so Smeltz and Fallon are the only two strikers in the squad.

Chris Wood is also out - "Fallon will now start the Jordan match, after the injuries to Killen and Wood"

What's happening with Chris James? Is he no longer thought of as a play maker? or just out of form at the mo'? Seemed to be quite pormising....

Broken, not even playing in Finland

friendly

Jordan 0-0 Malaysia

Malaysia NT compose of all U-23 players

Hopefully the team are settling in well, very important rehearsal for the qualifier.

LF1 - I'm guessing there'll be Sweet FA of the Jordan game on telly, will there be anything on radio?

Guys, if anyone knows of any kind of coverage can they let us know on here. Really big game in terms of build up, cant believe its not on. Well actually can believe its not on but it sucks.

Is Ivan Vicelich in good form for the all whites?? Sorry had to ask as Iv hardly seen him play. How is he doing for Auckland FC?  

Killen injured? What a surprise.

Nelsen fit, that's an incredible achievment.

Sky coverage confirmed.

Breakfast at Backbenchers?

Ask Ubergunner.  I'm on leave this week so being up by 6:30 isn't endearing itself to me.

Sack Ricki.

LOL, just checked electronic guide and you are correct.  Sky Sport 3 at 6.55am Friday - Intl Football Live.

I'm sure it will be rectified so lets not freak out, but in the meantime, lolz.

I had to go through a lot of hoops but I finally got someone at sky business to confirm that both this game and the Scotland vs Netherlands game are being shown Thursday morning @ 7am. UberGunner2009-09-08 16:50:56

Time To Bounce Back

Jordan have some preparations of their own as they face two vital 2011 Asian Cup qualifiers with Iran in November after collecting just one points from their opening two games.

Matters didn't take a turn for the better last weekend and the West Asians were slated in the local media for  goalless draw with a young Malaysia team.

Last Test For Kiwis

While Saudi Arabia and Bahrain are locked in a fierce tussle in the Asian play-off for the 2010 World Cup, New Zealand have the luxury of waiting to see which of the two they will face in a final face-off in October and November.

But the All Whites are not sitting idle; they are in action in Jordan in an important warm-up for their future West Asian test.

It is New Zealand�s last match before playing either Bahrain or Saudi Arabia in October.

The second leg takes place in Wellington in November.

"This match is very important -- it's certainly a dress rehearsal for the opening qualifier on October 10," coach Ricki Herbert told New Zealand Radio.

"It'll be quality time, five days together with a very competitive game in an area of the world we'll be coming back to in a month's time."

TEAM NEWS

Jordan

The hosts are set to field the same team that couldn't put Malaysia to the sword.

New Zealand

The Oceania champions have injury problems. Celtic striker Chris Killen has withdrawn as has West Brom�s Chris Wood which gives Rory Fallon of Plymouth Argyle a chance to show what he can do.

It just means Rory will probably get 90 minutes which is extremely exciting for his first cap," Herbert said.

"We know what Chris Killen can do and we know the potential of Chris Wood, which is great, so it just means the door of opportunity swings open even wider for Rory."

There is some better news however as captain Ryan Nelsen is fit to play after recovering from an injury sustained in Blackburn Rovers� opening game of the Premier League season in August.

PREDICTION

This is a game that both teams want to win but home advantage will count.

Jordan 1-0 New Zealand

Has there been any TV news on the All Whites match due to play on Thursday yet??

Please tell me this is your odd sense of humour... the top post on this page, the title of the thread and the front page news telling you all about it not enough ?

I think he means has it made the sports news on telly with an article talking about the game

Fair point.

The answer is no anyways, I haven't seen any and I watch the sports news most nights...

Yeah there's not much covergae of it at all. I hope there's at leat one item tonight.
