Subject: [NT] New Zealand - Vietnam

After crushing Moldova, we face Vietnam. Vietnam is a small Sokker country. They haven’t reached serious milestones so far and they are only 67th on the national team ranking. A quick look at their players learns us they haven’t got real stars (judging on their value). That’s quite normal as they are relatively new in Sokker.

Insiders said NZ haven't been training well. According to them the coach has got a sudden fascination for gothic clothes and dropped his managing duties.

Although it isn’t an U21 match, New Zealand will play with a young team. It’s an ideal match to test and see some talents. You can expect guys like Stuart Urlovic, Greg Irvine and Simon Williams. Super talent Kevin “Diego” Brunton is ready to collect his second cap. The rest of the line up will follow.

We’re still 27th on the ranking with Portugal in our grasp. It would be positive to climb up a place or two, in order to be second seed in the draw of the qualification groups.
