since i am not nz , and i want u in a world cup, after 28 years,

and you know the background of your domestic amd international players..since the manager of the team is the manager of the national team too

which players will call up herbert to win this away/home playoffs

i do not think that the manager will change a lot about the panel that was selected for the conf cup .

that is not sensible football, anyway the main problema that nz had in conf cup was the midfield

tim brown is a good player but only as a holding midfielder, the problem is that he is not fast enough he needs some help in the centre and simon elliot is more of a creative player , even at 35 years old

as i said before this games u need to win them with patience, and stretegy., against a fast team that can break u at the back u need cohesion between defence an midfield i mean a team building that was the problem in those 3 games

is not a game for young players, because they can get a red card, in this games, but for experienced players

i would like to know from u which goalies will be call up, since moss is suspended for the games., ??

my team without the golkeeper , and based on the players that i saw from u will be

sigmund/boyens vicellich nelsen lochhead/old

mullligan/oughton brown

simon elliot

james/mc glinchey bertos

killen/smeltz/fallon

plus

woods/scott/bright/ and any midfielder since brockie is injured

a 4-5-1 that can convert into a 4-3-3 small players like mulligan/mc glinchey/elliot / oughton james/bertos are VERY MUCH NEEDED FOR THIS 2 GAMES , to match up the physique of an ARABIAN GUY.

if herbert is smart enogh he will notice that big slow players will be more important vs an african team or european team like germany style or holland / serbia

i think on the above list i would drop jarrod smith for kris bright, as come the qualifiers hopefully kris has had a bit of playing time with shrewsbury town and he has been in recent all white squads. Dont think smith has or will get much game time in the Mls?

Not sure about Barron, but can't think of anyone to replace him with.

its a good squad of players though, probably best we have ever had to choose from with in inclusion of fallon and mcglichey to bolster our depth.

If we build it, they will come...

Smith was released from his MLS squad I don't know enough about Bright so I didn't include him.

I believe that it is 23 players in a WC final squad. I think that it is the same for a WC qualifying squad.

The 2009 WCQ squad is looking to be stronger than the 1981 WCQ squad on paper. Firstly they are basically all professionals footballers with more time on the ball, secondly some has experience playing at a very decent level. It would be so disappointing if they don't get though to the WC finals.

Our defence is going to be so solid who will play RB between Vicelich and Sigmund though?

Everythingï¿½s going to be All White for McGlinchey

Wednesday, 19 August 2009

by Glen Lauder

Michael McGlinchey

Central Coast Mariners / John Dewberry ï¿½ Central Coast Mariners

Less than a month ago, Michael McGlinchey was without a club after being let go by Scottish Premier League giant Celtic at the end of last season. Today, the diminutive midfielderï¿½s life couldnï¿½t be more different to what it was when he left Parkhead, after winning a call up to the New Zealand National team.

McGlinchey signed a two year deal with the Central Coast Mariners just before the start of the Hyundai A-League 2009/10 season on the back of impressive trials against Gold coast united and Wellington Phoenix, and has been a standout performer in the Mariners opening two fixtures of the season.

That form has been justly rewarded today, with All Whites coach Ricki Herbert naming the Wellington-born 22-year-old in his 18-man squad for a friendly against Jordan in Amman on Wednesday, 9 September, subject to FIFA approval.

"Itï¿½s a great honour," McGlinchey said.

"Obviously I grew up in Scotland and represented at Under 20ï¿½s level, but I was born in New Zealand and I just hope I can get on the park and do a good job for Ricki.

"I canï¿½t thank (Mariners Football Manager) Lawrie (McKinna) enough. Heï¿½s been great and gave me a chance to come over here and prove what I could do. I know Iï¿½m good enough, and Iï¿½m just looking forward to repaying the faith heï¿½s shown in me by representing the Mariners well when I play for New Zealand," McGlinchey said.

McGlinchey, who was born in the New Zealand capital while his father Norman was playing for Lower Hutt, moved back to Scotland when he was a baby, before progressing through the ranks at Celtic, making his first team debut against Livingstone as an 18 year old in 2005.

Now enjoying life on the other side of the world, McGlinchey now finds himself just two matches away from representing his homeland on the worldï¿½s biggest stage.

"If I can get on and do well in Jordan hopefully Ricki will look at me for the (World Cup) playoffs (against either Bahrain or Saudi Arabia), and who knows after that. As a wee lad you grow up watching the World Cup and itï¿½s what every footballer wants to be a part of.

"If New Zealand can qualify over the two legs and I could get on the plane to South Africa then it would be a dream come true. But I canï¿½t get ahead of myself, hopefully get on and do well in Jordan, and continue doing well for the Mariners," McGlinchey said.

Mariners Football Manager Lawrie McKinna has paid tribute to his new signingï¿½s progress.

"Heï¿½s been fantastic from the very first day he joined us, he fits in to the squad well on and off the park, and itï¿½s a good reward for him.

From our fans forum a thread about McGlinchey .. he has made a huge impression

Bad news about Chris James- I've just found a news report on the Tampere United website in Finland which says he had knee surgery last week and won't be back in training at Tampere for 4-5 weeks at best. Guess that rules him out of any further All Whites matches this year, barring a miraculous recovery. You have to feel for the guy. Ricki would have known about this when naming his squad.

Apparently, he's been troubled by an injured knee for a while (no full movement, stiff and in pain) and he went under the knife last week. He'll be on crutches for a while and sounds like it'll be a while before he's match-fit again.

See the short news item (in translation):
