Yeah, NZ have always put their best foot forward with team selection for World Cup quals. Most of the time it has not worked out, but sometimes it has. I do think they will benefit from more players playing overseas and having 2 ALM teams now. Plus having an auto spot for the WC makes it a far...

You could always do it for Asian Cup qualifying maybe? The AFC can have a lot more control around that I would feel.

I like the concept of the nations league. It is similar to how international ice hockey works. Though I think for Asia it would be best to split it into East and West championships.

NZ destroyed Samoa in the end. Chris Wood with a hat-trick for his efforts. I do have to say it is nice seeing Sarpreet Singh back involved with the NZ NT.

Like we could not have asked for a better time for Saudi to be in such poor form. But if you look at the table it really is a case of a coin toss between Australia, Saudi, Indonesia and Bahrain. They are all more interested in not losing than winning games. China have won the second most games...

We are so lucky Saudi lost to Indonesia and Japan keeps winning it leaves the group insanely tight for second place

Harper finally right on the point. We just have not intensity or drive going forward

GET IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or not????

This is the same thing Bahrain did on the Gold Coast. Just ride it out until Australia get tired in the last part of the second half and then try and strike.

Thisnis what we get for not trying to score a second goal

Get fkkkkeeedddd

Inverted wide players is fine if you play that way normally and setup play to utilise it effectively. It's much harder if they are not used to it and don't normally play that way.

Yeah faaarrrrkkkkkkk

Bahrain are improving and causing more issue in our defensive half now. Very similar to the Gold Coast

Goodwin always having to turn to pass or get something into the box. It is slowing him down. Mcgree similar. Switch them please
