New Zealand and Slovakia meet at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg for a Group F encounter in the 2010 World Cup. These two teams are considered underdogs in the group but this does not mean that they won't pull of a shocker and do well. Group F also contains Italy and Paraguay so it should be an interesting one to watch.
Slovakia is new team for this world cup although this side was once part of the Czechoslovakia squad. Slovakia didn't display too many spectacular performances on their way to South Africa, but they were able to do all that was needed.
Now they will be hoping to make their first appearance in the World Cup something to remember. They will be hoping that New Zealand prove to be an easy introduction to the group.
New Zealand have not had such a great World Cup history. The last time they qualified was twenty six years ago and on that occasion they failed to make it past the group stage. Mind you, they certainly didn't have an easy group considering the fact that it also contained Brazil, Scotland, and the Soviet Union. New Zealand will be hoping to cause a few upsets over the next few weeks and there first ambition will be the more modest one of beating Slovakia.
