So were Frank and Fred (ok maybe not from the "mainland" lol or necessarily good blokes)
Supporter world's best and worst football teams: Waikato/WaiBop, Kingz, Knights, Phoenix, The Argyle, The Whites & the All Whites
He was at the heart of protests over the pay-to-play policy for junior teams too. If I was Fred de J I'd be keeping an eye over my shoulder.
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

"New Zealand teams to adopt a style of football that suits New Zealand players and conditions so that players have the requisite skills to transition into the All Whites environment"
That seems to be a clear warning to the NZ age-grade coaches to toe the line. Is this a real problem at the moment?
This policy is why zonk Jr won't go near the federation or national setups. Talk about blinkers full on.
It seems that there will always be some critiscm of NZF and truthfully Footballers can be a bunch of moaning pricks at times..
Overall the development, coaching and opportunities for footballers is at least 10 times better than in the 1980's, 1990's and 2000's..
Youth League, club tournaments, federation, national, private academies, clubs, some schools, NZF squads, National League, professional and educational pathways.. for both Genders..
It is the number one sport for boys and number two for girls in NZ..
NZ Football and the Football community is doing a considerable amount of good!!!

To be fair Jerzy, the AWs rarely play which is a big reason behind that ranking. You can bet that if we had as many competitive games as Licthenstein gets, our ranking would be much higher.

plus when we do play competitive matches it is against island sides. Doesn't do much for our ranking.

Phil Barry is from Wellington and is an intelligent, considered, thoughtful administrator of the game. I think he's a very good addition to the NZF board.

I find that hard to believe if he played any part in the NW shermozzle

A plan to inspire New Zealanders beyond the football pitch was unveiled on Wednesday as New Zealand Football outlined its bold new High Performance strategy.

Desired future state of Competition Structures - see p. 20 and 21.
A League: 2 NZ teams (Wngtn Phoenix plus another Auckland based team, each having developmental teams playing in the ASB).

Looks good. Means absolutely nothing if they cant deliver on it.
The main problem I read with this is that they have correctly identified they are short of funds for what they need/want to achieve. This is hardly rocket science for dummies and I am sure any 5yo on a Saturday could have told you this.
What they have really failed to address is HOW they are going to get that money. NZF have been saying for years and years they need more money. The reality is that to get sponsors on board, you need a little more than 'rugby is the nations game, football is the international game' or blurbs like that. You need to offer them tangible benefits that say 'here, if you sponsor us, here is what we can give to you in return for that'. Local businesses don't care about the 'international game' cause their market is local so they jump on the biggest gig in town - rugby. That right there is what many a commercial manager has failed to do over the years - provide tangible benefits to potential sponsors where they go 'we want a piece of that'. Yes, we got ASB, but that was fashionable for them to do so at a time right after the WC and we looked like we could have done it again (at the time) I understand that ASB have chosen not to renew this so their 10m/4 years is now gone.
They need to either go after overseas sponsors that want exposure into NZ (China Bank) or businesses that want exposure into certain markets (they got one off sponsorship for the AWs game overseas?). A local businesses that wants exposure internationally will not get it with the AWs because they play once in a blue moon and the local programme, no one really turns up to watch.
Without the cash, everything else in the presentation will largely not happen.
(as a foot note, how much mileage have Huawei gotten from the Phoenix? That would be a good test case right there)

Whether you agree with it or not there is one of the key pieces in the ASBP puzzle: NZF see the A-League as being the top of the NZ football competition pyramid.
Quite a significant point that they are including the A-League within the scope of NZ's competition structure, rather than treating it as an exception.
I agree with that. It is a pragmatic reality.

From the video I got the impression they are keen on leveraging NZs leading trading partners that play football, I got the impression both in terms of matches and sponsorship.
