I wonder if we had this duration of lack of games when Reid was making a decision, if he would have chose Denmark instead?
Well, he literally decided to switch to NZ with the World Cup was right there and already qualified for.
Denmark also qualified for South Africa 2010, but from memory Reid wasn't close to their senior team then.
They missed Brazil 2014.
Made Russia 2018 but Reid did his knee early 2018, so in theory wouldn't have been there with either NZ or Denmark.
FYI - Denmark didn't qualify for the Euros in either 2012 or 2016. I guess it's all regular high quality qualifiers over the years, that he's really missed out on.
But then there's no gtee he would even make the Danish starting side these days. In Russia they had Mathias Jørgensen (Huddersfield) & Simon Kjaer (Sevilla) as their CBs.
