Who's paying ?
NZ football will pay but get discounts through Thai Airways.
Im more worried about friendlies before the WCQ's we need one
before Vanuatu and then one before Fiji. Just to get into the
groove, the team hasn't played together for ages, and the
opposition has been together recently, dont be fooled these games
are going to be tough over there. And we dont want to
mess it up. The only problem with this is that the
players wont get enough time off to have friendly as well.

Theres not exactly time to organize a friedly between now and the
Vanuatu game and theres no point of organizing one between the
Vanuatu game and Fijian game.
We should have had a friendly during the two Windows that have been
in the last week. And this should have been against an Asian
team. As for future gaems, I believe that we are best served
playing home and away against Asian teams instead of European and
South American as this will be the style of football that we will
come up for our do or die games in a year or twos time.

Good point although will it improve our game playing against these
teams as much as it would against other teams?
I'd like to see us playing some more African teams.
yes,me too won't to see somes macth's with the african teams,
but we do to play olso some freindlys with asian teams,for the
future final qualifyng macth to south africa 2010.
Why would we play an African team in Oslo? 
Where'd you get Oslo from?
Are there any under-resourced (ie, cash strapped) good
(international) teams we could play to upskill our squad? We
both win - we get better, and they get international
competition they wouldn't otherwise get.
