We should have played 4-2-3-1/4-5-1.

Tuiloma Sigmund Smith Lochhead

Brockie McGlinchey Barbarouses

Based on recent form playing for New Zealand A and the All Whites. Vicelich let the occasion get to him today and really let himself and all of us down considering he has played quite well recently. Christie let Ricki down and unfortunately I think all three of them will be gone after these games. I think we could have beaten Mexico today had we not had so many players out with injury/coming back from injury as I think we are a much better team then we showed today at full strength. We played 100x better against Honduras on May 2012 and China in November 2012. I wouldn't put all the blame on Ricki although I do think he is partly to blame with his player selection I don't think his tactics we're bad it was more the players letting him down by conceding twice before half time. Chris Wood's yellow card was stupid and he should have stayed and played for Leicester. All in all an absolute fuck up and a loss of millions of dollars and our best chance to make a name for ourselves in the world of international football and develop football further in our country. Severly disappointing!

I would have played the same formation used by the French national team, the Dutch national team, the German national team and the Brazilian national team and played 4-2-3-1/4-5-1.
