              Not a big fan of this NZ football team

              Committing professional fouls and flopping. Miss me with that.

                  All over in Nice. New Zealand beat Guinea 2-1. A draw or a win against either France or USA might see them go through to the knockouts.

                      It's 0-0 at half time in Marseille in the France-USA football game between the two teams New Zealand still had to play in Group A.

                            I think we will overachieve to keep the goal difference under 5 against France….

                              France ended up beating the USA 3-0 with a strong half show.

                              NZ's best chance of getting out of the group is probably beating the US.
