*You don't know me,but I know you well *You must be friends of mine *And as from today,I'm happy to say *You'll always be on my mind *It's been so good to see you all *I shan't forget a single day *Maybe you'll forget me *If I forget to remember some of your names *Now you know me,and i know you well *We'll be friends till the end of time *I promise one day,not too far away *We'll meet again and sing some song *Maybe you remember the time *The time we first met,we all sang along*

2010 FIFA World Cup: (F)New Zealand

After a disastrous campaign four years ago, New Zealand bounced back in emphatic fashion under coach Ricki Herbert to qualify for their first appearance on the world stage in 28 years following a debut showing at Spain 1982. Herbert, and assistant Brian Turner, were both key figures in the campaign nearly three decades ago. The duo have turned the All Whites into a solid unit whose rearguard, the fifth-placed Asian nation Bahrain was unable to breach over 180 minutes of the intercontinental play-off. Four years after elimination by the Solomon Islands, the Kiwis claimed the Oceania crown to earn a trip to the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup, where they showed solid form after a poor opening against European champions Spain. The dramatic South Africa 2010 play-off victory against Bahrain united the Rugby-mad nation behind the All Whites like never before, resulting in a national record crowd in the capital Wellington for the decisive qualifier.
