New Zealand will
participate for the second time in a final stage of World Cup, after 1982, where they take three
defeats in as many games.
For this qualification
contributed greatly the Australia's output of Oceania, which began to
compete in the Asian zone. So New Zealand had no
difficulty in taking first place in the Oceania zone earning the right
to run a play-off with Bahrain. In this play-off proved
to be quite strong at defensive and well organized managing only a zero draw
in Bahrain, and a home win in a game that saw the biggest number
of viewers in the New Zealand Soccer history .
Key Players
Ryan Nelsen - The team captain is the player with more international experience, having a long career in Blackburn from Premiership. He is a very strong defense in the physical point of view.
Shane Smeltz - He was considered the best player in Oceania, and was the top scorer in the
Australian A-League. He is an excellent finisher.
The Coach
The team is led by Ricki Herbert, one of the greatest figures of New Zealand football. He was in 1982 World Cup as player and was the first to act in English football. He is the coach since 2005 and now achieved this greatest feat.
