    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.

      Along with the convicted child rapist representing Holland in beach VB team*, gang rape of an Ozzie and timely release of a video of GB dressage star beating a horse, great start to the Olympics LOL

      • His younger partner 'he's like a second father to me', he's your Daddy then

      I'd understand if we were talking about the BF7s. But this is the football ferns right?

        After watching a replay he was superb, as were the whole backline (most of the time).

                          What did you think of the offside call?

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

                                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.
