The All Whites are enjoying their time in South America... and it's perplexing the locals.

The match up between New Zealand and Peru this afternoon will send one of the teams to next year's Football World Cup.

Peruvian football blogger Brian Bertie said our players seem more like tourists than sportspeople.

"I can't tell if they focused on the game or if they're just calm enough to focus on other things and then get your mind set on the game when it's football time. Peru seem to have their sights on the game at all costs."
