Gutsy All Whites go home : Paraguay 0-0 New Zealand

In the end the fairy tale ended
Cinderella failed to make the ball
All Whites leave with heads high
Many fond memories to recall

Polokwane for rehearsal trials
Urged on by the majority roar
Where glass slippers not so good
It’s boots that are needed to score

Caniza boomed in the cannons
Bombarding Nueva Zelanda
Holding Azzurri momumental
Ryan Nelson a proud Commander
