He coached vs Fiji at the Caketin, but yea we're doomed with him in charge.
Just watched a peruvian tv show were they singled out Hudson for praise...essentially saying that the best thing NZ had was the coach. They stated he is a modern coach
Lol, he has the best talent available that any NZ coach has ever had with 5 players in the top leagues of Europe (Boyd, Wood, Reid, Thomas, Rojas). This could arguably be our golden generation.
Yeah maybe they are just impressed with his interviews...They do state that NZ did well for passages vs Mexico and Russia and give him credit for that.
Sadly the Netherlands are arguably no longer a top European league (currently sitting 12th in the UEFA coefficient ranking and with no relevant CL team in years) - but that is another discussion.
On exactly what passages of the game against Russia NZ did well? All I remember is how lucky we were not to lose by more than 2 goals. In the Confeds the only moment the AWs played 'well' was the first half against Mexico
No idea, you would have to ask them haha.
They seem to hold NZ in greater estimation than some NZ fans, certain sections of the Peruvian press while confident in Peru are aware that NZ has the potential to win.
They obviously didn't watch the Belarus or Northern Ireland games, that's for sure.
The idea is that he is a Bielsa disciple and he has a photo with Mourinho so the press goes from there.
