VANCOUVER, June 25 (Reuters) - New Zealand coach Darren Bazeley pointed to the World Cup's string of surprises as proof his bottom-placed team can pull off an upset in their do-or-die Group G showdown with Belgium on Friday.
Bazeley's team have a solitary point, having drawn 2-2 with Iran before suffering a 3-1 loss to Egypt. Now they face the daunting prospect of taking on Belgium's star-studded attack featuring Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Jeremy Doku, despite the Europeans' sluggish start to the tournament.
