The All Whites' Football World Cup journey is off to a rough start - with less than two weeks left to go until their opening match.

New Zealand have leaked defensively and misfired in attack on route to a dismal 4-nil loss to Haiti in Florida.

It's the team's worst result in nine years - going back to a defeat by the same scoreline to Portugal at the 2017 Confederations Cup.

Weekend Sport host Jason Pine says this is a 'reality check of epic proportions' for the team - and they're set to face teams with more credentials down the track.
