Meanwhile, north of the border, Nelsen's World Cup team-mate Rory Fallon is chasing his own cup glory, for Aberdeen against Hibernian in the Scottish FA Cup semifinals on Monday (NZT).
Fallon has failed to consistently stamp his mark since his arrival at the Scottish Premier League club, though he has scored three times in their cup campaign, including two in the quarterfinal victory at Motherwell.
"The only luck I have enjoyed in my career so far was scoring the goal [against Bahrain] which took New Zealand to the World Cup (in 2010).
"After that my life changed dramatically. I had been a complete unknown in New Zealand, but the goal meant everyone knew who I was.
"But I still haven't won anything in my career and the Scottish Cup would be a brilliant way to break my duck." Fairfax NZ

ABERDEEN STRIKER PREDICTS TIGHT AND TENSE SCOTTISH CUP SEMI-FINAL
Fallon, who was voted player of the round for his double in the 2-1 quarter-final victory at Motherwell, was an unused substitute in Saturday's 3-1 win over Dundee United, while Hibs warmed up with a 1-1 draw at home to the Steelmen on Sunday.
Kari Arnason, Russell Anderson and Fraser Fyvie were also among manager Craig Brown's replacements.
"The boys are really chomping at the bit," added Fallon.
"We've got a lot of people coming back from injuries and the bench on Saturday was really strong.
"The gaffer is going to have some tough decisions to make.
"I want to play and so does everyone else. There's obviously going to be a few lads left upset, but that's football.
"No matter what happens, if I'm playing, on the bench or in the stands, I'll be right behind my team."
Other CURRENT RORY stories from UK media:
The match had opened up completely and Aberdeen followed a spell of pressure with a spectacular equaliser from Fallon in the 59th minute.
The move started with Reynolds, whose long ball looking for Fyvie's run was headed out by Matt Doherty. Fallon chested the ball down 25 yards out before sending a left-footed volley looping over Stack and into the top corner.

Good control.Filthy strike
The Dons striker scored a wonder goal after the break to level Garry O�Connor�s early opener.
But with five minutes remaining boyhood Hibs fan Leigh Griffiths scored the winner to send his team into next month�s final against either Hearts or Celtic who play on Sunday.
Afterwards Fallon said: �We are out of the cup but I know when it came to the pressure situation I know that I did my job.
�As a team we let ourselves down. First and foremost you play for yourselves and your family and then you play for the fans and we have to look at ourselves in the mirror and say �do we have enough?�, and today we didn�t.
�It is up to each individual to look at themselves in the mirror. I can�t speak for the other lads but I know we are better than that and should have got something out of it, at least a draw.�
They better not. Toronto's too good for him.
