Winless, and unbeaten, finished 0-0 and were within a single goal of topping
the group!!!

Great World cup for the Kiwis, have made the whole country proud, and for
me, made us, on the other side of the ditch smile too!!!

Finish ahead of Italy, WOW!!!

Australians always claim Kiwis (Australasians) as their own when they win;)

Congrats to all in the group who finished ahead of Italy! ;)

It goes further, we claim ourselves as ANZAC's

Yes indeed, but I question whether Slovakia or Paraguay have the ability of
going further than what Italy at full potential could have achieved!!!

Italy was going nowhere because there was no potential.

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.
