Except for running out in an all black strip for the first time at the football World Cup, the All Whites will go into their decisive group match against Paraguay tomorrow morning with no changes to a recipe that had worked so far.

New Zealand coach Ricki Herbert told a press conference in Johannesburg that the side would be sticking to their strengths for a battle in which a top 16 spot is at stake after earning 1-1 draws with Slovakia and Italy.

Herbert said that there would be no changes to his starting line up with no holding back from the physical style of his side and, as with Italy, the Paraguay defense could expect an aerial bombardment.

Herbert also brushed aside any thought his inspirational team leader Ryan Nelsen was not at peak fitness.

The central defender sat out the team's training session but that was only a "precautionary measure because Nelsen had a tummy bug".

Results this morning, England beat Slovenia 1-0, USA scored a last minute goal to beat Algeria 1-0, Germany proved too strong for Ghana winning 1-0 and Australia defeated Serbia 2-1.

Looking at the teams that have secured a place in the second round of competition, Uruguay will take on South Korea, Argentina up against Mexico, England will face Germany and USA playing Ghana.

Coming up tomorrow at 2am, New Zealand takes on Paraguay and Italy plays Slovakia.

At 6.30am, Denmark takes on Japan and Netherlands will play Cameroon.
