If you're a New Zealander right now, you should be dancing in your boots at the team's performance in this tournament. Tying Italy and Paraguay is a feat in itself.

Who on earth would have thought that the Kiwis would come through the tournament unbeaten? I had them, in my predictions, losing every match.
For a country without a professional football league to come to an event like the World Cup and perform like they did deserves the highest praise possible.
They should be, and probably will be, national hero's back home.
