Although not realistic (so don’t jump all over me) but with so many available to us now and a few based in nz and oz and overseas that would be good to have them in a AWs squad but potentially wouldn’t make it but keeping them in the loop/system would be helpfull, day 1 of international window and friendly get those players assembled agaisnt which ever island team makes it to the next round of qualifiers to try help/give them some game time before there game, well the core starters meet up in Europe.
Yes I know it can’t happen, nzf most likely doesn’t have the money to run 2 teams with travel and accommodation….. I just think it would be cool cramming in as many games and helping the islands.
Potential team
Sail
Elliot.(Roux) Smith/pjanker. Sutton
Rufer
Piper Rojas. Gillion
Mata/kosta
Sorry
obviously some of those players would also after the game be heading to Europe Rufer and Pjanker definitely

Think FIFA prohibit national teams playing in different confederations in the same window.
Covid and the closed international borders was the time that NZF would have been looking at picking a solely local ALM AWs selection for a game (likely ALM Socceroos)
