Sadly here in Blighty we've seen very little of the men's footie and not a minute of the OlyWhites to change his mind.

That article is just a filler written by a generalist sports writer, so he pick up his pay.  For me it says nothing.

except that he's an excellent journalist who writes extensively on football and is well respected in those circles. Disagree with his opinion by all means, but his credentials stack up and he never just phones it in.

Yip, Jonathan Liew is a very well respected football writer.

I think he presents a typically English view in this article that does not take in to account how much it means for those who don't have their own EPL

Or Euros. If he'd done his research, he would have found few countries in the world are as starved of international mens football as much as NZ, and it's football fans. 

Hence why to Wood & Reid (only 25 AWs games in 11 years) playing at an Olympics actually means something.
