All White adjust their sights to Paraguay

2:53 pm on 24 June 2010

The World Cup's surprise package, New Zealand, adjust their sights to Paraguay in Polokwane early tomorrow morning after defying the odds by drawing with defending champions Italy.

Having suffered three losses in a previous appearance 28 years ago, the All Whites mocked predictions that they'd be easybeats in South Africa by also holding Slovakia to a draw.

They'll be wearing black tonight, but coach Ricki Herbert's not superstitious about the change affecting their chances of a place in the next round, although he says Paraguay will be the toughest in the group.
