So you'd rather watch us play "valiantly" against a big team once every 4 years rather than qualify for a World Cup? It's not our fault the rules will change, so might as well embrace it rather than being miserable about it
I would like to be able to see my national team play at home against quality opposition (read top 90 in the world - not a lot to ask) in a game that matters.
Rather than qualify for a World Cup? Who is paying for this team to come to NZ outside of a WC qualifier? Football fans in NZ have some very very strange priorities
Other than the cash, I don't think playing only two World Cup games every four years is great for our football. It's probably preferable to what we have now, but being a part, at some stage, of the Asian qualification process so we get to watch our team play at home every now and then would be nice, even if it means we can't make the cup every time. If we aren't good enough to make the top 8 teams in Asia we probably shouldn't be there.
