Jut making the final CONCACAF round would be a result for them - haven't done that in a while.

If you want to read true numpty however, have a goosey at the comments on this Stuff article.

At least Clapham is by world standards a better player than Nelsen. Also, turns out Grenacre is a Kiwi? Didn't realise!

A long way off yet and I realise a lot could chnage from now. Given USA and Mexico will highly likely be in the top 3 CONCACAF teams, currently these 4 teams are the most likely the All Whites will play.
 
Jamaica
Kosta Rica
Honduras
Panama
 
Other more unlikely possibilities
Canada
El Salvador
Trinidad and Tobago
Guatemala
Antigua
Haiti
Cuba

Kosta rica were not total muppets against Brazil so might pose a few problems

That Brazil team didn't play too well, the supposed 'B' team they used in the Copa Rocca against Argentina played a far better style. So not sure what you can take from the result v Kosta Rica. One thing the Brazilian media say was how rough they were. Something we would not find too foreign...

Botafogo - Rio de Janeiro and Wellington Phoenix, my two teams til death do us part.

No we play a much harder play off this time against Concacaf 4th best team.
Would have been better off with the 5th best Sth American side.

No it was not. I would rather play the 6th best Sth American side then the 4th best Concacaf side.
I am pretty sure Asia's 5th best will win there play off spot against them.

The 6th best South American side would be in the top 3 of CONCACAF every single time.

So what you're saying is that you'd rather face Colombia (currently 6th in South America and 32nd in the world) than Honduras (currently 4th in CONCACAF and 53rd in the world).
 
And that China (currently fifth in Asia and 73rd in the world) would be favourites to beat Colombia if they were to meet in the AFC/South America playoff.
 
I think we're gonna need a bit of justification for that.

Bench: Moss/Paston, Killen, Smeltz/Kosta, Smith/Siggy, Brown/Elliot/Henderson, Boxall
Just missed out:
Fallon, Boyens, Gleeson, Cunningham, Mulligan, Bertos, Daniel.

Don't think henderson merits a place at all - anywhere near the squad. But he's not in the 'locked up when squad is announced' group with guys like Old and Christie

I would also expect the first 11 to be over represented by under 23 players in anticipation of London

NZ to host 2012 Nations Cup
Newstalk ZB December 21, 2011, 11:51 am

New Zealand Football is poised to make a play to host the 2012 Nations Cup.

The tournament features eight teams from Oceania and is part of the World Cup qualifying process.

NZF boss Grant McKavanagh is hopeful the tournament may move to New Zealand.

McKavanagh says the Nations Cup is scheduled to be played in Fiji during June, however their is some conjecture around that going ahead.

He says if the All Whites finish in the top four of that competition, they'll be playing in home and away Olympic qualifiers during September.

 Nations Cup = World Cup Qualifiers
Olympics in July - August
Asume games in Sept would be Final Stage World Cup Cup Qualifiers

Not the best article.  Headline is pretty misleading too.
 
No way the final stage of WC qualifier will happen within a month.
