Episode Notes
The FIFA World Cup is nearly upon us, and the All Whites are in the midst of their final preparations.
They have one last pre-season match, going up against England tomorrow after Wednesday’s disappointing performance against Haiti.
As a result of a hamstring injury picked up last month, midfielder Ryan Thomas isn’t involved in either warm up games – though he’s confident he’ll be right by the World Cup opener against Iran.
It’s his first World Cup, and he told Piney he didn’t think he was going to be here a few years ago, so he’s taking everything in stride.
Thomas says the injury put a little bit of a halt on everything, but it’s going really well and he’s just happy to be there.
