I am actually aware of that U20WC side of yours, seeing as you caused quite the upset by beating our boys 0-2 and ended our chances for progression to the knock outs for a team that was expected to do quite well at the tournament.
Though this was a huge let down for that group, we are now seeing many from that 2000- vintage bursting onto the world scene with Erling Braut Haaland at Borussia Dortmund becoming a superstar within the space of 12 months and Jens Petter Hauge getting his AC Milan debut today, playing in the 4th tier of Norwegian football only a year ago. Along with Ødegaard (who's played for the seniors since 15 and now back at Real Madrid) among others, things are looking very bright for the future.
Seeing as your boys beat that lot the future looks bright for you kiwis also :) You may be interested to know that Erling Haaland smashed 9 goals past Honduras following the NZ defeat and also scoring 34 in 33 matches in the champions league, austrian & german bundesliga :D
