the best thing that nz football can do is to create a local based team to play some friendlies in the region vs oceania or asia national teams to have more players pool and to provide the local players from nzfc exposure and a shop window
players like hayne coombes hogg and spoonley were great a year ago at clubs world cup
that was one of the best things that maradona and bielsa were doing for argentina and chile to improve the talent and the motivation of the local players
nz needs a step 2 situation now and it is to increased the team to create competition for places

That's pretty much what we did for our dead rubber match against Fiji IIRC.

A LEague are in the position to do it. A bit like American styles. A LEague NZ team, Aussie team, internationals, play exhibitions at end of season. QUestion is can they get the all whites shirt. Probably not. How much is that worth? If it is "A League NZ" is that enough for the public to want to watch? Would get McGliinchey and Brokie back!
Oh Wellington is wonderful. We got the wind, the rain and the phoenix. Oh Wellington is wonderful.

V good thought. I'd also like to see a PI (Pacific Island) combination. There are some excellent players out there.

Considering that there are less than 11 first choice Kiwi players in the A-League (isn't it just the Nix lads + Brockie, Kosta and Moss?) you'd have to go to the ASB Prem to get a full side.

The British leagues used to have a team picked from players playing in each country and called the League of Scotland team and League of England ETC.
This was selected from players playing in any league in that country.
Woulld be a good idea to get it started with an ASB league selection team playing a Phoenix selection as a charity shield type game at the end of the season.
As you mentioned more players getting the chance to show at a higher level would be good for the game and the younger players coming along.
