Champion New Zealand was suprisingly dumped out of the Oceania Nations Cup in the semifinals Friday, losing 2-0 to New Caledonia. The 2010 World Cup finalist, however, will still has an opportunity to advance to 2014 finals in Brazil. All of the semifinalists at the tournament in Honiara qualify for the third and final round of qualifying on a home and away basis from September this year. The winner of that qualifying round will then play the fourth-placed team from the Central and North American confederation on a home and away basis for a spot in Brazil.
