Yes indeed -- gotta pull for the All Whites! New Zealand is a plucky little country that seems to punch above its weight in sport, and it has an awfully good national anthem. Plus, it's cool how their national teams all have specific nicknames:
All Blacks (the most famous)
All Whites
Tall Blacks (guess which sport that is)
Black Caps
Black Sticks

The only US national team I know of that has a specific nickname is rugby, which is the Eagles (both men's and women's teams, I think).
