TribalFootball - New Zealand's proposed Oceania/Asia playoff against Iran could still be on.NZ Soccer chief executive Bill MacGowan told the NZ Herald, "We have given Iran dates in September for the home and away games. "They are keen to play, but we understand there might be a problem with Ramadan at that time." "There are opportunities out there," MacGowan said. "We have to make the most of them. The Confederations Cup has made it patently obvious that we have to play much more internationally, and not just within Oceania. "We could only admire the ability of a player such as Thierry Henry [France]. But he hasn't got to that level by a fluke. The number of youth caps he had at all age levels is phenomenal." "There have been positives in the way players such as Michael Utting, Raf de Gregorio, Ryan Nelsen, Noah Hickey and Gerard Davis have played. But for them, and us, to improve we have to keep playing. |
