New Zealand Men's U-20s

Singh, Rogerson, Bell, McGarry all starting.

Dyer captain

Finally Rogerson for Billingsley

I think Vietnam are the least of our worries. There are quite a few countries on 4 points and if Vietnam were to win and reach 4 points it would have to be by a wide margin to make up a -4 deficit.

Ideally we either want a 0-0 draw with France or go out and make a huge statement and win.

Some of these French guys are bloody huge compared to our midgets.

So long as Vietnam does not win - we go through.

Good start this

Bevan, holy shark what a header!! The keeper showing what we're up against here, he's Bordeaux's second choice (maybe third after the signing of Costil). Lucky they haven't got Lafont, who's been number 1 for Toulouse for two seasons now and is arguably the most promising goalie in the world behind Donnarumma.

Promising start.  McGarry looking good early

Great start

Brilliant start lads keep it up, unlucky bevan.

Frenchmam lucky not to pick up a yellow for the late challenge.

Wow, what a save from Woud.  Catastrophic from our center back.  Had an eon of time but still panicked

Making our own trouble here at the back - real poor passing out from the back 

plan b -lets not dick about with it in the backs

French should have scored there. Trailing leg from woud saved it.  Chance due to shark playing out from Ashworth who doesn't look like he knows how. Otherwise opening 10 mins was sensational. 

aaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Hope that doesn't knock our confidence and we keep pushing forward.

Great goal deserved. Come on boys we gotta defend better.

classy goal from French lad

Saint-Maximin, what a dick, poor taste. Skilling with nobody around hahhahahaahahahaha knob

Jesus christ i really do not like this guy... you can do this all without being cocky mate. Can't fault a great goal though

Feel bad for Woud now.  Not a lot he could do about either of those.

he's a bit of a dick but what a fudgeing goal! 

Have only watched the last 5 min, but we are not on the same page as these guys.

You're one unlucky guy haha, we dominated the first 10 minutes or so, France never had a look in and Bevan was an inch away from a goal

We domintated the first 10 minutes, just couldn't put the couple of chances we created away.  Their class is showing now though.

AGAIN! our CBs look like they have poor technique and no ideas how to play out from the back. Saved by Woud 

hono vs viet 0-0 at the mo

Woud could end up being the only thing keeping this game in single figures.

The CB's letting us done :( but great peformances buy Would and McGarry.

Where's our physical defensive dominance, the English would never let France do this to them. No mongrel from our defence, we need more Sigmund!

Do we though? 

These guys are just at a different level from us. It's not a game we *need* a result from. I'd be a bit ashamed of us if we just ran around smashing them.

Well then why else didn't we pick other CBS's that were supposedly better with the ball? Don't mean to dis them but surely these guys have a bit of something else in them if they lack the ball skills stuff, I just hope they pull the socks up and stop giving them too much respect

Yeah fair enough. I'm on the same page mostly but just hope we don't result to throwing the foot in just for the sake of it. 

Wow Singh looking great.
