Great WC for them. They showed that they deserved to be there. If it weren't for an Italian dive things might have been different. In any case great job by this team who game it all they have and came so close to going through. ***** I'm not sure whether to celebrate (we did get a draw against a much higher-ranked opponent) or not (since we didn't qualify). We do go home unbeaten though! Myk

Now there is only talk about too many African teams and not enough from South America. What New Zealand did will help them for the future.

Yeah the coach. Oh well, I'm still on a high from 4 years ago. That will last at least until the next WC;)
