All Whites coach commends captain Michael Boxall's commitmentPHOTOSPORT Michael Boxall was one of just two Major League Soccer players to make themselves available for New Zealand's match against Canada. PHOTOSPORT All Whites coach Fritz Schmid said the result "hurts" but he was still happy with his first tour. PHOTOSPORT Adam Mitchell's All Whites debut was a brief one, pulling his hamstring inside the opening 15 minutes. Although that didn't exactly stop Michael Boxall skipping Minnesota United's match against New York Red Bulls. It's that commitment to the cause which saw him named All Whites captain - Schmid describing the centre-back as the perfect "role model".
