    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.

    Olympic spying claim: New Zealand report Canada for flying drone over football training

    Olympic spying claim: New Zealand report Canada for flying drone over football training

    Canadian Olympic Committee have offered a ‘heartfelt’ apology after a staff member was caught watching Football Ferns practice

    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?

    such a bizaare story, taken pretty seriously too.

    If Paulsen gets a start at Bournemouth he will be straight in my FPL team, man can he stop a shot

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

    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
