New Zealand Poses Scant Threat
at World Cup
New Zealand's chances of winning the 2010 FIFA World Cup have been pegged at anywhere from 1,000:1 to 2,000:1, though the formerly debt-ridden national soccer team did manage to record its second consecutive annual surplus this year while achieving dominance in Oceania.
