      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.

          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.

            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.

                                        What did you think of the offside call?

                                        Sections of the Moroccan fans throwing stuff on the pitch including fire crackers. Pretty appalling.

                                          The last three minutes of the Argentina and Morocco game are being played in front an empty stadium four hours have the match began.

                                          Morocco win 2-1

                                          What did you think of the offside call?

                                          Sections of the Moroccan fans throwing stuff on the pitch including fire crackers. Pretty appalling.

                                          Call was correct IMHO

                                          Fans were bang out of order
