More than just happy to be here, New Zealand hunts first-ever knockout run

New Zealand's football team, the All Whites, are on the cusp of a historic World Cup run after a strong opening draw against Iran. Ranked 82nd globally, their presence in the expanded 48-team tournament is a significant achievement, amplified by their chance to advance past the group stage for the first time. Coach Darren Bazeley emphasizes focusing on winning, not the occasion, as they prepare to face Egypt.
