"Our relationship with New Zealand Football has been good, we're going up on Friday and I don't think they would put us through a whole lot of trouble if they didn't want us. We've lined up some good marketing strategies, similar to the Bahrain match, we've got good partners to assist us so there's no stone left unturned in terms of trying to get this game. We've put in a bloody good bid."


"Another shot for glory"?

Some one better find Tim Brown then.

Honduras 2 Jamaica 0

Honduras go top (tho should be overtaken in 45mins by USA presently leading Panama 1 0)

At this rate we may well end up playing the bloody Mexicans!

Persil get behind One More Glory Shot

"As official sponsors of New Zealand Football, Persil are excited to help the All Whites take One More Glory Shot on their way to Brazil. Persil is great for getting out stains so we encourage all Kiwis to get out there and take One More Glory Shot and then use Persil to clean up the mess afterwards".

If that is a real Ad then Persil's advertising section must all be Clerics with marketing degree's or have very twisted sense of humour.

.... so long as they dont start encouraging everyone to "come" together and have one shot, all at once, simultaneously.

Like others in the thread I am annoyed that they haven't announced the venue yet. I think I am going to chance it and book a flight from Sydney to Wellington for the 20th. 

Although i'm possibly bad luck, wasn't at the Bahrain game but was at the Australia game in 2001. Jason frickin Batty!

Oh hello everyone btw. First post and all.

This story really is hilarious...

http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/8799063/Morrison-miffed-after-mayor-leads-delegation

Local politicians squabbling over who gets to take One More Glory Shot. I have to say, if anybody gets to take a Glory Shot it should be the Mayor.

Still, it's good to hear that John Morrison won't be indulging in any "blatant electioneering" during his Mayoral run. Hmmm...

About 80 seats left for $19 flights Auckland to Wellington 18th - 24th November for anyone interested...

2nd special for these dates, would be great if NZ Football announced the game venue already.

Indeed, but by the time it comes about all seats will be gone....hopefully another sale after the game announced for people who wish to travel...

There's no way we want to play in Honduras. Ask anyone else whose been there. Away journos and supporters have been advised to stay inside their hotels during the Hex. Its a totally intimidating place to play and they have an awesome home track record. They put 8 past Canada there in early WC qualifying as you all probably know. Ironically the only team that's beaten them at home is Panama. We'll get all the usual fan antics in Panama City, outside the team's hotel etc all night, but it's a safe place compared to Honduras. Also less chance of getting done in the first leg. Has Herbert been given overseas technical help for November yet. What happened to Blanco ?

I also found Herbert's comments surprising. I would have taken Panama over Honduras any day. His rationale about knowing Hondurus works both ways - they know our weaknesses as well. They have also played here but we have never ventured into their den. Looking at their team, in terms of names, Hondurus also frightens me much more then Panama

I kind of agree - I remember being impressed by Honduras' Olympic football side last year in London who were undefeated in group play, including beating Spain, and were only narrowly edged by Brazil in the quarters 3-2 in a quality game.
However, in terms of all results this year: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honduras_national_football_team#Results
HONDURAS : P: 11      W: 3       D: 3      L: 5
PANAMA:        P: 12      W: 4       D: 5      L: 3
In the two Panama - Honduras games this year it's a win to Panama and a draw.
Honduras were also comfortably beaten 2-0 by Israel in a friendly in New York a couple of weeks ago. 
(Now if Israel can get a result like that, then so can we...)
Panama's form hasn't been good this month (three losses, one draw) after being undefeated in all matches this year until June 1st: 
lost a friendly against Peru 2-1 at home, lost their two World Cup qualifiers against USA and Costa Rica the last couple of weeks, drew with Mexico. 
June has been so intense for Panama - four games in 18 days....the All Whites will be handicapped by not experiencing anything like that level of intense competition .
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
CONCACAF GOLD CUP, USA JULY 7- 28: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_CONCACAF_Gold_Cup
Honduras, Panama, USA, Mexico, Costa Rica will all being playing in the Gold Cup regional championship played in 13 US cities.
(Minimum three games - group stage, possible six for teams who make the final)
Jeez, they're going to be well-prepared for the final stages of World Cup qualifying....
