The Detail · The Fallon verdict on the Football World Cup so far · 16 Jul 2026 podcast

Marangi Bay Park and Lynx Avenue and you're training every single day before school and you're dedicating your life to it.

And then when you have the actual opportunity to be in it, it's just like, wow.

It's incredible.

Yeah, I never take it for granted.

I'm always thankful for my teammates, my coaches, and I'm thankful for the New Zealand public that got behind it because it was really...

I don't know.

I didn't feel like there was as big a buzz for that.

You know, for the 2010, it was just incredible because we waited so long.

And I always heard stories about the 82 stuff, how it was like for everyone, it was like incredible as well because it was like never been achieved before.

And so there was this incredible feeling of like, wow.

And then like with us, like beating Bahrain, I think that captured the imagination of like everyone.

And I think we, this team that went to this World Cup, I think we missed that qualifying stage.

Yeah, and it was like you never got that buzz, like that kind of incredible feeling that we had at Bahrain.

You know, when we went to Bahrain up against the wall, when we took it to Wellington, that kind of, it was just an explosion.

It was an explosion.

I've never seen a football crowd in New Zealand like it.

It was a euphoric explosion of, like, joy.

And then to go to the World Cup and to really take it to the world, we were truly underdogs, expected to lose all the games.

And to come up with those results, I think people can look back now and look at this team now and look back at what we did and just say that was incredible.

So with the qualifications, I don't think they got battle-hardened to have that kind of up against the wall kind of thing.
