It's not historic to get a 1-1 draw against China (even in China). Their football setup is a continual mess. Current FIFA ranking 88th.
Even Guinea are higher at 77th.
But yeah I'm happy to have a wager on the Guinea game. $100 bet. Loser pays to charity of winner's choice. NZ lose I pay the $100. We get a draw or win you pay the $100. There won't be any Northern League players starting in France.
Anyway Toomey & Gillion (likely just travelling reserves in France) will be A League players by October. Same Randall who's already an AW, and played pro in the US.
With player availability it is what it is. It's just bad timing that Stamenic & Old have signed for new clubs, in big important moves for them. Ain't no fault of NZF.
