It seems they are not coming back 'en masse' as some are heading back to England/Europe.

 
Ricki is off to Honkers for 5 days with family so presumably home sometime later next week.
 
But my guess is that if they are leaving in 24 hours from now (Sat NZT) a reasonable group will be back on Monday sometime.

I'd guess lots of the team will be having a weeks break or so before returning to clubs. Like what Ricki is doing.

Sounds like a change in plans - was just informed by NZ Football that only Siggy and Vicelich are arriving today. Sauce - http://twitter.com/NZ_Football

Only correction they gave me was Ivan and Siggy being the arrivals. They've both arrived in Auckland to large welcomes, so I'm guessing the 17:30 time being sign of a transfer to Wellington.

Great crowds at Auckland! I didn't end up going, but I'll hopefully be at the parade, as long as it's before the Boca games.

There were A LOT of gutted fans at Wellington Airport when after waiting outside gate 16 for the passengers on Flight 449 arriving Wellington Airport at 5:30 pm to get off, only to find out that the All Whites had been on an earlier flight.

Good thing I didn't skip the last hour of football practise for it then.

Went out and bought a Portugal flag instead
