Smeltz: We won't be daunted |
Key New Zealand striker Shane Smeltz harbours ambitions of qualifying for the knockout stage at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ despite the Kiwis being considered underdogs in the eyes of many. If the All Whites are to make history, it is likely that in-form goal-getter Smeltz will play a pivotal role.
After a slow start to his career Smeltz has hit rare form in recent years, with a brace against Wales in a 2007 international friendly seemingly the watershed for both his club and national team career. There followed three prolific seasons in which the forward was top scorer for his club in each campaign, picking up the golden boot in the Australian A-League on two of those occasions.
The productive form continued unabated with the All Whites, as Smeltz collected successive Oceania Player of the Year titles over the last two years, as well as being named New Zealand Footballer of the Year. He scored an impressive eight goals in five South Africa 2010 qualifiers in Oceania, which helped equal a 30-year-old national team record of scoring in six internationals in a row.
