I calculate the game as 8am, 14th November, I see people here talking about 13th but that's local time, which would be 14th here....
...correct me if wrong
You're right, it's 8 am Thursday 14 November NZT. Mexican sources say the game is 2 pm Wednesday 13 November in Mexico:
We're 18 hours ahead of Mexico - time zone calculation done here: http://www.happyzebra.com/timezones-worldclock/Mexico-and-New%20Zealand.php
AWAY LEG V MEXICO CONFIRMED AS 9.30 AM NZT THURSDAY 14 NOVEMBER (2.30 PM 13 NOVEMBER MEXICO TIME):
NOTE: Mexican daylight saving ends this weekend, so we are an extra hour head of Mexico.

Disappointing interview IMO. It was flagged as a talk to the USA assistant coach on how NZ can beat Mexico.....and they talked about everything but that.
Will be interesting to see the NZ squad announced.....NZF will probably announce it 5 minutes before kickoff for the first game.
For me the key to the first leg will be how well Ricki manages his subs. With the heat and the altitude it is obvious that many won't last the 90 minutes. The back three of Dura, Reid and Smith will be OK but the worry is the important defenders around them. Leo and Locky are both into their 30's and are not quick any more. They will have to do loads of running to track the wide Mexican players...hard to see them running for the whole 90. If they slow then Mexico will hurt us out wide. Same for Ivan.....no problems with him starting but he won't last more than 45 minutes IMO. He will have a huge job at shutting down the very agile Mexican midfeild. No problems with Wee mac beside him.
In reality I am sure NZ can successfully park the bus at Mexico....the worry will be the last 30 minutes where guys start to feel the effects of altitude and heat. If we stop running and tracking we will get carved up. Thats why the bench....and Rickis use of it, will be critical to the outcome.
The other import positions are the wide guys in front of Leo and Locky. They will have a vital role in tracking the Mexican LB/RB as the bomb down the flanks. Away I would put the guys who can put in a good defensive shift. If I was coach I would be tempted to have Costa on the right flank.....he can defend and on the left Henderson. He has really impressed me playing in Sweden....a natural lefty who is a really good pro. IMO Rojas will be lacking match fitness to start a game like this out wide..
My team for away
Moss
Reid Dura Smith
Leo Locky
Ivan Weemac
Costa Henderson
Wood
Bench Roux for Leo, Tuiloma for Locky, Payne for Ivan, Rojas, Spoonley. We will need young legs to run and track for the whole 90

NZF must inform clubs to gain release of players no later than 15 days before the match according to FIFA rules - says Big Pete in previous thread. So that's Oct 29th at latest.

Totally disagree.
IMO Rattue makes some good points. Don't want to rehash the Confed debate but its true.....the AW's only really get a handful of proper competitive games every 4 years and there is very little to attract fans to the international game here. Also he is correct. Oceania is a dog and the momentum from the last campaign has long since stopped.
If we fail to beat Mexico then the international game here will stagnate until sometime in 2017

Yeah, but he hasn't been named and neither have any of their other overseas based players. So chances are he won't play anyway. If they say he wasn't booked, they are wrong. Because he was. If they had said the card was rescinded or something along those lines, then ok. But lol at not booked. I hope he does play so that we can go to FIFA and have them look into it.
