One Shot for Glory

Background
The last time New Zealand got through to the finals of Football’s World Cup was back in 1982. In 2009 they got another chance. First, however, they had to beat Bahrain in a qualifier, a side ranked 22 places higher in the world listings.
The objective was simple. Fill Wellington Stadium for the do-or-die match.
The problem was that New Zealanders are rugby mad, passionate supporters of the All Blacks rather than the soccer-playing All Whites.
