Such a mind fuck that Ivan Vicelich is still playing. It would be amazing if New Zealand could somehow get to another World Cup but if Mexico are anywhere half way decent, it really shouldn't happen. Shame I have to head out in 10 minutes as I'd have loved to watch this game.
That away goal means New Zealand are still in it. Smeltz to get 4 in Kiwi land :side:
Also interesting to note that the entire Mexican team was domestic based. I know they've had problems with some of the European based players like Vela, and there's also problems with guys like Hernandez who aren't playing regularly. It will be interesting to see what happens come World Cup time, as surely you'd think they'll call up their best players to at least be in a train on squad to prove their worth. But then again, Brazil won a World Cup by leaving out one of their best players in Romario in 2002 for attitude reasons.
Using an all domestic squad allowed them to be in camp earlier they were also given permission to rest the players for the last 2 out of 3 Liga MX games so they were fresh as hell
