And what of the players themselves. Bowen & Stott are coming to the end of their careers. Would playing the US at 'home' (though Stott is basically an Aussie to be fair) have been a nice highlight.

Are they quietly a bit pissed with their clubs? From memory Barba & Ingham were released by their ALM clubs for that March 2022 OFC Tourney outside of FIFA window dates.

But yeah overall you could agrue, it's the Americans who could have done more to help, by visiting in the 13-22nd Feb FIFA window. Their new NWSL season doesn't start until 25th March, so why does the national team not visit NZ until Feb.

Edit - okay now see the Americans are hosting Japan, Canada & Brazil in a 4 nation tourney in Feb.
