Yep, mine too. @Tegal.
I think the World cup run started with Seatter spending money and getting us playing games, touring Europe etc etc. Soon that isn't going to be an option with UEFA stopping friendlies. We must play more for the AWs to be anything.
However, surely Hudson has some culpability in the eligibility saga? He's part of the system of checks right? All his eggs were in the Olympics basket. Also our team has been in rankings free fall so it may be difficult to get a decent game and NZF surely aren't flush with $$...
