Olympic Losers Pursue Topless Dancing

Posted Aug 14th 2008 11:39AM by TMZ Staff

The boys of the New Zealand soccer team don't get down on themselves when they lose, they just get down!
New Zealand Soccer Team
After losing to Belgium in the first round of the Olympics 0-1, the Oly-Whites (as they're called back home) broke out the Haka -- a traditional Maori war dance teams from NZ usually perform before a match to scare the holy hell out of the other team.

No word on why they decided to bust a move after the loss, but as long as that guy keeps his shirt off -- who really cares?!

31. I think the from a few (including the TMZ blogger) just go to show the incredible geographic and cultural ignorance of some people.
As a New Zealander, I found this article a bit offensive.
The haka is a traditional war dance and it is considered an honour to perform and these days it is also an honour to be present a haka performance.
By the way, the Haka is Maori, not Maori Indian as somebody tried to wrongly inform you.
Please TMZ, before you comment on any other cultures in future, make use of your computer and at least look up the topic in Wikipedia (I'm sure thats within your capabilities) before you comment. Otherwise you just look foolish.
