2024 All Whites International Fixtures

Thing is with those Stadia, fans sit about 200 yards away from the pitch. just like the Ring of Dirt minus the chicken wire fence. You want something where fans can be 5 yards from it. 

I noticed that other OFC countries are travelling far afield for matches in this current round of "FIFA Series" friendlies.
Matches also streaming on FIFA+

PNG are in the FIFA series Sri Lanka
Vanuatu are in the FIFA Series Saudi Arabia.
Seems a great initiative by FIFA to give smaller countries from the likes of Oceania a rare chance for matches outside their confederation. 

PNG 0-0 verus Sri Lanka. No Tommy Semmy.

Am so glad to see the rest of OFC play and not lose.  I think most of them should have higher rankings then they have but like us do not play enough to get up there. New Caledonia, Tahiti, Vanuatu and the Solomons should all be 100-130/140.

First round of Nation's Cup on Fifa+ too. So glad I don't have to search for dodgy streams to watch footie from the A League, NZ and OFC anymore.

Don't share your optimism... Sri Lanka are really bad. When other OFC teams beat or draw teams that aren't terrible (ie like someone that might be able to qualify for the Asian Cup) I'll be impressed

Must be a strong chance the Tunisians run out a 2nd string completely changed side against the AWs.

NZ with extra day's rest, and Tunisia with the late finish against Croatia. Did they play ET?  Even if was pens after only 90 mins, must have been well past midnight finish in Cairo. Presumably they had their strongest available lineup against the Croats.

Vanuatu lost 6-0 to Guinea

True but when did Vanuatu last play a competitive match? 

Guinea will have played in every window and likely have pro players in Europe. 

The more chances like this they get, the more they will improve, helping their best become pros along the way.

They had the Pacific Games back in Nov-Dec. But likely a long time since they played anyone close to Guinea’s standard

But they also played in that same India tourney last June we once played in. A 1-0 loss to India and 1-0 win over Mongolia
