It has reached the [[Football World Cup|World Cup Finals]] only once, in [[1982 FIFA World Cup|1982]], but lost all three games. Because of the lack of a high-quality domestic league, most talented New Zealand footballers ply their trade in the higher-class leagues of Europe, the [[Major League Soccer|United States]], and [[A-League|Australia]]. New Zealand usually battled [[Australia national football (soccer) team|Australia]] for top honours <!--not honors please--> in the [[Oceania Football Confederation|OFC]]. However, this will no longer be the case as Australia now play in the [[Asian Football Confederation]]. New Zealand have won the [[OFC Nations Cup]] three times, in [[Oceania Nations Cup 1973|1973]], [[Oceania Nations Cup 1998|1998]], and [[Oceania Nations Cup 2002|2002]]. The white strip was originally based on the colour of [[England national football team|England]]'s strip and name is in contrast with the [[rugby union]] team, the [[All Blacks]]. == Development == Despite its large player numbers, New Zealand football struggles to compete with other sports such as [[Rugby union]], [[Rugby league]] and [[cricket]], financially and for media exposure. The performance of the national team is further hindered by a relatively young semi-professional domestic league. However, [[Wellington Phoenix FC]] competes in the [[Australian]] [[A-League]]. The best known current players are [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn Rovers]] defender [[Ryan Nelsen]] and [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] striker [[Chris Killen]]. Several young players have shown promise in breaking through into the senior side, most notably former [[Fulham FC]] and now [[Tampere United]] midfielder [[Chris James (footballer)|Chris James]] along with strikers [[Jeremy Brockie]] and [[Wellington Phoenix]]'s [[Shane Smeltz]].
