More details than the RNZ report.

"Ironically we've ended up with, more or less, if we could have written down our dream outcome, it's not too far away from what we're doing,'' Aspden said.

Wow! Wouldn't have picked that. I guess at least he's speaking for once.

A training game is definitely organised for tomorrow.

"But the biggest thing is qualify for the Confederations Cup. If we had won the Oceania Nations Cup we wouldn't be in this situation. We would have played at the Confederations Cup, had a good programme and had US$1 million in the bank. That changes the whole scenario.''

Jez Christie was on radio sport today talking up the camp to date. Had nice things to say about Ricki and all. Was on between 4 and 5pm

Who do we want to win tomorrow morning?

Kind of glad we're not playing Queretaro, and not surprised at their hissy fit. Anything to derail our chances against their national side.

Chivas USA game is being played behind closed doors, media only http://www.cdchivasusa.com/news/2013/10/chivas-usa-play-new-zealand-national-team

wonder if there will be any coverage at all of the training games?

Puts things in perspective - all proceeds from the Trinidad & Tobago game are going to support this T & T international who obviously will never play again, even if he survives:

BREAKING NEWS: ADAMS LOSES LEFT LEG IN LIFE SAVING SURGERYBy Multimedia Desk

Story Created: Oct 8, 2013 at 12:36 PM 

National footballer Akeem Adams, 22, had his left leg amputated last night during what was described as a life saving surgery.

Adams, who plays professionally with Hungarian first division team, Ferencvárosi, suffered a massive heart attack last month and was listed as being in critical condition. 

A release posted on the team's official website, www.fradi.hu, stated: "Akeem Adams, 22-year-old player of Ferencvárosi Torna Club went through a life saving surgery this night, during which his lower left limb has been amputated due to the mortification of limb muscles.

This unfortunate event is the consequence of the player's massive heart attack suffered one and a half week ago and the complication arose due to the collapse of his circulation. This surgery prevented the immediate threat to life. 

The surgery was successful, the circulation of Akeem Adams is stabilized but his condition is still dangerous, life threatening".

Maybe T&T FA should stream the game on a pay-per-view basis to raise additional funds, I'm sure plenty of us would donate to watch the game.

Wow that's horrible.. Poor guy..

A very good idea but they may get more money if Sky TV pay for the rights. T & T Football Federation are probably already locked into a deal with local TV to broadcast their games just as NZF is with Sky here.

I've just sent Sky TV an enquiry asking whether they're screening the match.

Comments to Trinidad & Tobago Football Federation here (sympathy for Adams, online streaming ideas etc.):

https://www.facebook.com/TrinidadandTobagoFootballFederation

This charity match has real significance when you consider the player didn't have health insurance:

" TTFA president Tim Kee added that Adams’ unfortunate circumstance has caused the TTFA to consider letting its legal department peruse any new contract offered by foreign club to local player and to include a basic stipulation that there must have full insurance coverage and protection for footballers before international clearance is granted." 

I asked SKY the question too, here is their response;

We're currently sorting out the specifics with the host broadcaster. We will update here (twitter) when we have more news.

Sounds positive.

Does anyone know if there will be a live stream of the mexico v panama game available to watch in NZ? Will it be on sky sport?

"Does anyone know if there will be a broadcast of the All Whites v Trinidad & Tobago match?"

 Refer to previous page,  last few postings on this thread.

This is the website I use for live football/boxing/porn.

I lied about the porn.

Sky TV's reply to me today re Trinidad & Tobago game:

"Thank you for your email.

If we can find a host broadcaster (that will deliver good quality pictures) for this game then we will be airing it, nothing to confirm yet, so please just keep checking the epg (electronic programme guide) on the decoder for any updates."

1-1 draw with Ventura County Fusion.

Angst-plosion - 3, 2, 1, go!

We struggled against amateur pacific island sides in games that were crucial. No surprises here. 

To be fair, I don't think it is all Ricki Herberts fault, the players seem to show a lack of drive every time I see them play. 

All Whites 1 Ventura County Fusion 1. Im thinking now the fourth place finisher, Mexico or Panama should just go ahead

and book airline tickets to brazil.

Friend went along to the game. Looking forward to hearing what he says ha. Was out here working with me last year - lives in Ventura

will be interesting to hear what he says TV

ventura advertised it as 'behind closed doors'.  apparently they only have a small fence so it'll be funny to hear how that worked out for them as well.

for the betting people, tab are offering $22 bucks for panama half/full time double.

Peverley did not play, carrying an injury, as is Vicelich. Everyone else took the field.
