So much for moving to Auckland. I see that Auckland won 2 and lost 4 in the last seasons Womens National League. Then the star player (Palmer) never got a look in for the NZ team which was announced shortly after probably because she was not from Auckland.
Under-20 internationals didn't play in last year's women's league, and under-17 internationals didn't play for half of it. I have no idea why Palmer didn't get a look in for the NZ "A' team, but I imagine not being based in or able to get to Auckland and be part of the regular training programme is part of it. This is also football, a sport where the power of a team vs the power of individuals is as great as it is anywhere (and Auckland were a shambles on that front, not helped by the late naming of that U-20 squad).
Well it looks like the power of the individual (Erceg) is far greater than the power of the team
