Who even knew NZ had a soccer team?

A gem from a team well known for being good losers...

Who the hell is Juninho anyway?

Good question! Shockingly, a little research on google didn't reveal a nickname.

However perhaps we can have a NAMING CUP!!

Let's see if we can spot a pattern...
rubgy: all blacks
soccer: all whites
hockey: black sticks
basketball: tall blacks
badminton: black cocks (sadly they've dropped this one now)
netball: silver ferns
women's rugby: black ferns
cricket: black caps

According to this list, and wikipaedia, the name number include either black, fern, or silver. Or, I guess, given the all whites conundrum, the inverse of any of these. Unfortunately, according to these rules, the name can't be the all pinks.

But, what about the Silver Sweeps?

Dear Syl,

why are you such a tease?

I know, I'm on tenterhooks.

(No pressure, Syl.)

Speaking of teases, I hope you'll be excited to hear that a new PrEdIcTiOn CuP will be with us shortly!!! Polish up those crystal balls ...
