No they don't do the haka  which is good in a way as it can be overdone a bit. I'm actually a little surprised you know who the All Blacks are lol! They are the most recognisable rugby team in the world, but rugby isn't big in the USA. Mind you the NZ Maori All Blacks (Maori are our indigenous people) played the USA on the weekend and it was an excellent game, the Eagles played very well!
The good thing about NZ being in this position is they have nothing to lose, so whatever happens happens lol. I have heard Mexico have been dreadful lately, but all you can go by is the one game. All that matters is what happens on the day. It's funny, Mexican fans are trolling the All Whites (the name of our soccer team, cos they wear a white uniform) facebook page, but because most of them are posting in Spanish (rather than the rest posting in ok english, or google translate english lol) no one knows what they're on about lol.

Personally, I'm don't have much hope in Mexico winning this playoff. But then again, weirder things have happened at the Azteca. Seriously, just how stinkin' lucky (or maybe unlucky) can they get with getting this far in their current condition?
Say, does the NZ soccer team do that whole pre-game Maori war dance/chant thing like the All Blacks do? That'd be cool to see. It would definitely scare the crap out of El Tri.

Getting nervous, tomorrow is the first of two 2014 World Cup qualifiers between NZ and Mexico! Tomorrows game is at the Azteca, so it's going to be a big game for our boys but I am hoping they pull something out of the bag. We'll be at the second match next week in Wellington, can't wait.

| Beating mexico in the Azteca is a serious task. I can hope for NZ, but seriously, you might as well hope to find a winning loto ticket.

I am actually more worried about Brazil getting their stadiums / infrastructure set before the games. Looks rather iffy!
Sorry to say as does NZ against MX. Then again, I am certainly playing favorites!

Prolly blacked out here anyway.

True, everyone wants an extra spot somewhere I guess lol! You haven't seen NZ play, we're not the best team. Very physical (not in a bad way) but that gets exploited by the likes of the South American teams (and Italy etc) by them falling all over the place to get fouls.
