NZ only have to beat Bahrain to make the World Cup - we had to overcome Uruguay (two time World Cup winners).

Yes I know Australia had to beat 2 time world cup champs, my point was more that they are 90 mintues away from qualifying

2nd leg halftime

NZ - 1

Bahrain - 0

If bahrain equalise they will go though on away goals so NZ have to actually win the match now to qualify

They actually had a penalty saved in the 52nd minute, not the best taken penalty but it was a decent save by Paston who only played due to Moss being suspended.

Great to see the kiwis qualify.

It hurts to say it as normally, we'd love to see them bottle it, but I agree. This can only be good for football in our region and will hopefully give their A-League side a boost.

Gutting isn't it. It's beacuse of the re-shuffle that occurred after we jumped ship to Asia that this change to Oceana qualifying has come about.

So the kiwi's should be kissing our rump!

P.S. With your current Awatar blink, I think plenty more posting is required from you mate!
