Highly unlikely but the New Zealand All Whites football team has booked itself a place in the World Cup with a 1-0 win over Bahrain in Wellington last night. This is only the second time for NZ, the last being 1982 in Spain.
Celebration
Goal
Who else is through to the World Cup? Celebrate your team here!

Well done to New Zealand my sister in law was in shock  England are at least through but playing with a lack of passion. Ireland lost tonight i don't think they are through  but they never do

No one is responding I bet you were shocked with your football team getting qualified. New Zealand is normally better at rugby

Well after a 0-0 away draw in Bahrain, we felt the All Whites had a good chance of winning but you can never be sure until it happens. I remember the first time the All whites went to the World Cup in 1982.

My parents were at one of New Zealand's matches in Spain in 1982. So it's been quite a big thing for them for NZ to get in again. I wonder whether they'll pay South Africa a visit...

@Bono
Is it really less important if you fail to qualify, because it is only a game???????
Aren't games the main part of our lives?
And is football really a game nowadays?

Ireland were cheated last night from Henry's blatant handball totally disgusting. Ireland play with passion and they never have any luck now this happens. Henry even admitted the handball but he says it was not an accident. Rubbish you can see in the reply he pushes the ball with his hand. Twice.

I agree mate. Henry will forever be branded a cheat and he shouldn't plan on ever going to Ireland without facing some sort of retribution. Then again, FIFA need to really sit down & think about it. They should be replaying the game especially as Henry has admitted he handled it. FIFA & Sepp Blatter & Michel Platini have no spine whatsoever and I agree with the "conspiracy" that the seeding of the draw at the last minute favoured France & Germany... Do you think if Ireland had scored with that handball - firstly, the ref or assistant would have seen it & if they didnt, then secondly, the match would have been replayed.
Call me a cynic but a World Cup without France or Germany would have been a disaster for FIFA so instead they allowed good ol' ROI to be the sufferers.

Yes i actually think sometimes the refs go in favour of certain teams. Look at all the bad luck England have had going out on certain matches in the past. But the difference between Ireland and England is Ireland play with passion and normally play a good game they are just unlucky Proud to of Irish blood

Which of the eight groups at the 2010 FIFA World Cup is most difficult? Quote taken from Fifa.com
it seems to me that all the eight groups are equally difficult, but if i have to make a pick i would say Group G
