A while back I posted an article talking up New Zealand’s prospects of making the football World Cup for 2010. I copped a lot of flack for it. And I also said that I will come back and post another article rescinding my comments if they were to be proven wrong. Or telling you all that I told you so, if I were right.
It may be premature, but after the 0-0 draw they had with Bahrain away, they are on track to qualify.
They now get to play at home, and we all saw the advantage the home crowd has on a result in the famous 2006 WC qualifier between our Aussies and Uruguay.
It may be all too early to put all my eggs in this basket, but I stand by my comments, particularly the formation set up I named (not the players, in particular).
My predictions is that the Kiwis win it 1-0 in extra time, thanks to a Smeltz goal, set up by Bertos and McGlinchey.
