i like the line up and personally would have liked to have seen a similar shape in mexico bar for a couple personal changes as I think this system better reflects the squad we have now.

As mention earlier, with some of the other young NZ players around at the moment this is beginning to look like a nice team for the future.

Only down side is, we wont have any money to organise internationals for them after this.


We may have, secretly. According to some Mexican media reports that suggest their Federation in league with their powerful TV networks paid the All Whites off to get that result - actually that would explain some of Herbert's strange selections such as Christie and the way we sat back and "prepared our anus."  They could easily afford to pay us more than we would have got for qualifying because they stood to lose hundreds of millions of dollars.

If NZ Football mysteriously come by some money to finance internationals & programs over the next few years, you'll know where it's coming from.

I think it's far-fetched and Herbert was just incompetent. Mexico is so corrupt, conspiracy theories are always flying around and their fans are very disillusioned with their federation, so they believe them capable of anything.

But anything is possible...

This report from a Mexican paper suggests the President, who has shares in media giant Televisa and so stands to lose a lot of pesos if Mexico don't qualify, and Televisa, may have been involved in paying NZ off:

"A photograph of false euphoria of Enrique Peña Nieto, his wife and close to the triumph of the national team against New Zealand has a whiff of the typical corrupt arrangements that usually characterize football. If something is held in the tested image, rather than the victory of a mediocre selection, but the relief that both invested in Televisa broadcasting rights of the World Cup....

If Pena Nieto bought the election that brought him to the Presidency, if the Treasury Department bought its expenditure budget for 2014 with prices ranging between 10 and 24 million pesos per member, and the big oil lobbyists buy at the price is feathers and consciences in order to approve your energy reform , why not Televisa would buy a football match that for the selection of New Zealand meant absolutely nothing?"
