That's certainly an interesting approach. I would have thought that a progressive organisation would have a database of NZ eligible players and then add/subtract to them and monitor where they are in the world along with any offspring. Granted you are not going to know of everyone but the more names in database, the larger the pool you have to look at. Abris did a great job here updating players overseas.
They may already do this but the above could point to them maybe not doing so too. It could also be a blunderbuss approach where you fire and hope that one of the pellets hits the target. Either way, if they find players that are good enough for NZ, then sweet. We are after all ready and willing to accept Riera.
should just run a football manager search!
All NZF / Hudson need to do is talk to us/read these pages and play a bit of FM15, that's the best scouting engine going!!!
Maybe if they edit some of the players details on it we can pick up a few decent British/European/South American players in the real world to replace the likes of Smith, Fallon, Smeltz, Killen, Vichelich and Paston ;-)
