You realise we lost 5-0 to Spain last year? And our first World Cup match was 5-2 to Scotland? Scotland?!

Um.

That is all.


I'm an Englishman and as such I never miss a chance to run down Australia... and making New Zealand out to be better at football does that
The rest are all nutters, probably

Also, mentioning Scotland reminds me of the best thing I read yesterday -
"New Zealand's greatest moment in a World Cup finals came at España 82 - logically enough, as it was their only other appearance in the tournament. Against Scotland in Malaga, the All Whites quickly went 3-0 down, only to pull the score back to 3-2 with goals from captain Steve Sumner and Steve Wooddin. The match eventually ended 5-2 to the Scots, but the minnows hadn't disgraced themselves. Far from it. Honourable defeats to USSR and Brazil followed - 3-0 and 4-0 - and the team went back home with their heads held high.

In giving Jock Stein's team one hell of a fright, New Zealand had assured their place on the elite list of countries who have made life hellishly difficult for Scotland at the World Cup. That list in full: Austria, Uruguay, Yugoslavia, Paraguay, France, Zaire, Brazil, Peru, Iran, Holland, New Zealand, USSR, Denmark, West Germany, Costa Rica, Sweden, Norway, Morocco and Scotland."
