    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.

                                        Experienced sports journalists who have been covering big events for 20-30 years are saying they've never seen a security presence like the one in Paris today.
