    You are the only team who were able to defeat New Zealand in their 2010 World Cup Campaign.

    New Zealand finishes as the only side other than the Champions to leave the finals tournament unbeaten*.


















    *Yes, I know a defeat on penalties is technically a draw, but don't steal their limelight.

    There are a couple of teams who didn't lose a game in qualifying but failed to make it.

    The British Virgin Islands were eliminated on penalties after two draws and Guam withdrew so technically didn't lose a game.


    To be fair to New Zealand though, I don't think anyone could have anticipated how well they would perform - they were a credit to OFC.
    I did love that one of their substitutes had to get time off from his bank job to make it to the tournament. Amateurs at the World Cup are always a great story for me.

    Wonder how many would want to?
    Sure, there's the money, but living in Madrid versus living in Fiji......
    Anyway, good job by the Kiwi team, they sure sold themselves dearly!
