Speaker 2 (00:07):
Sport Overnight action from Paris from the Olympic Games with
Kiwi teams in action and the rugby sevens, and also
in the football and the man doing the commentaries for
the football, Jason Pine, joins us this morning the Olliewaite
starting the games on the right way with a two
to one win over Guinea, morning pointing.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Yeah, get abk a really good start for the Oli Whites.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
You know, they're in a tough group and they have
to finish in the top two to get out of
that group. The big games are still to come, I
suppose you'd say, against the United States and France. But
to get off on a winning note against Guinea, we'll
do a couple of things that will give them huge
confidence going into those games against the other two that
I've just mentioned. But also it does give them an
(00:49):
opportunity to get out of this group.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
They've got to finish, as I say, in the top two.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
If they can get a result of some sort, even
a draw might be enough against one of those other
two sides, depending on their games against one another. But
let let's celebrate what was a really good performance from
New Zealand this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
BKA. They were well worth their win. I thought, wow.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I mean their goal in the last what ten to
fifteen minutes was peppered by Guinea, but they great work
by the goalkeeper.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Alex Paulson had a tremendous game. And you know, he's
a player who has been talked about more and more
and more over the last year or so, you know,
a move to Premier League club Bournemouth off the back
of a sensational season for Wellington Phoenix, and he showed
time and again this morning in Nice just what a.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Terrific goalkeeper he is.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
He kept New Zealand's you know, I was going to
say kept their sheet clean. He didn't quite do that
because Guinea did score a goal obviously, but they would
have scored a lot more had it not been for
Alex Paulson between the sticks for the Isley Whites.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
He was absolutely superb this morning.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And they had a goal disallowed too ken a Guinea too,
didn't they.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
They did, yes, and it took a while to be disallowed.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Var was on the scene, but it was the correct
decision and offside and the lead up to the goal
that Guinea scored or thought they had early in the
second half. It was chalked off, but they came back
and equalized. What really impressed me, though, Beka, was the
way after Guinea came back and drew at level at
one all after seventy two minutes, that New Zealand just
(02:20):
you know, picked themselves up from obvious disappointment, went down
the other end and less than five minutes later found
the goal which put them back in front to one.
I thought that showed tremendous heart from New Zealand and
Ben Wayne. The opportunity presented itself to a player who's
become a very very handy strikeout and he put it
away with no mistake.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
So yeah, they had to do some defending there at
the end.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
There were eleven minutes added on at the end of
the game, so that was a nervous eleven minutes for
New Zealand football fans, but they got the job done
and as I say, I think they totally deserved it.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Next up against New Zealand is the USA Sunday morning,
five o'clock. What are our chances to go to from two?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Well, I mean that would be amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I think, as I said before, I think this will
give this team the belief, if it wasn't already there,
that they can do exactly that. You know, the United
of the two remaining games, this has almost worked out
well for New Zealand in terms of the playing order.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
BK. I think you know you wanted to play them
if you possibly could in this order. Guinea, then the
United States and then France.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
The hosts who will be very very tough to beat
in Marseille mid next week. But if New Zealand can
get to that game having secured two wins, then they're
already through to the quarterfinals, regardless of what happens in
that match against France. There are certain circumstances under which
that might not be the case, but it's highly likely
if New Zealand were to beat the United States that
(03:47):
they would secure their passage through to the quarter finals. Look,
it'll be tougher than Guinea, make no mistake about it.
But as I say, a really good performance this morning,
a couple of well taken goals by Ben Wayne and
Matt Garb in the first half. Defensively, they might want
to do a little bit of work. I have to say,
there were a couple of occasions where Alex Porson was
(04:08):
perhaps called upon when he might not needed to have
been if the defending in front of him had been
slightly better. But there'll be a work on for Darren
Baisley and his coaching staff and the defensive unit within
this team. Look, I think they can go into Sunday
morning's game against the US with a real spring in
their step.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Catching up with Jason Pine out of the Olympics. And
also there was drama between Argentina and Morocco and that
game this morning, Pony, what happened.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
There absolutely incredible, BK. I really haven't seen anything like it.
Let me paint the picture for you. It's two one
to Morocco and they tick over ninety minutes. Sixteen minutes
of added time is added, sixteen minutes comes up on
the board that the third official holds up sixteen added
(04:53):
minutes and I've never seen anything like it. In the
sixteenth of those sixteen minutes, Argentine a score to equalize
and make it to too. Moroccan fans are most displeased
and invade the pitch. So there's a pitch invasion. The
players get off the field, the stands are cleared, and
(05:15):
over an hour later the teams come back out to
complete the match, during which time it's found that the
Argentina equalizer is actually offside, so it's not given, so
they go back out. Over an hour later, with Morocco
ahead to one, they play another two or three minutes
to take it up to about twenty minutes of at
(05:35):
a time. Finally the game ends and Morocco get away
with a two to one win. But just scenes that
I have never seen before in terms of the added minutes,
the goal, and there's all sorts of conspiracy theories, you know,
you know, however long it takes Argentina to equalize, we'll
just keep on playing. Just just astonishing really, But yeah,
(05:57):
the upshot is you'll look at the score and you'll
see Morocco to Argentina one, but it won't even begin
to tell the story of this incredible finish.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
And the other big news from overnight, the defending champions
of women's football Canada caught spying on our side, the
football Ferns, ahead of their first game tomorrow morning, putting
a drone up. Now, talk us through this drama, pony.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, this sort of unfolded. Yesterday.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
It was a statement came out from the New Zealand
Olympic Committee to say that they had spotted a drone
over football ferns training during one of their sessions, had
reported it immediately to the authorities, those in charge of
the football tournament at the Olympics, and it transpired that
the drone was being controlled by a member of the
Canadian coaching staff. Now, as it transpires, while we've been asleep,
(06:47):
this is the second.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Time that they have done it.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Another time has been uncovered twice over the top of
New Zealand training sessions. So this isn't a one off
or any sort of mistake. This is, you know, this
is pre determined stuff. So the upshot is the flyer
of the drone. The technical analyst who was flying the
drone has been sacked and sent home. The assistant coach
who he reports to has been sacked. She has been
(07:13):
sent home, and the head coach of the Canadian team,
Bev Priestman, who actually used to hold a role with
New Zealand Football, ironically enough, has stepped down for the
opening game. She has said, I will not be in
control of the team. I take responsibility. I won't be
on the touch line coaching the team for that first
game against New Zealand. But furthermore, BKA, now FIFA have
(07:36):
got involved. This is an Olympic competition controlled by the IOC,
but of course the game of football is controlled by FIFA,
and a lot of rumors flying around that they are
less than pleased with what has transpired here as they
try to, you know, encourage fair play in all aspects
of the game. There's even been talk and look, I
don't know how accurate this is of Canada being.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Expelled from the tournament, out of the tournament.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
All together, or at the very least having to forfeit
their game against New Zealand, which would give New Zealand
the three points and a bit of a leg up
as they look to make the quarter finals. So much
more to come on this as these investigations continue.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
The fallout has already started.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
So yeah, by the time New Zealand play Canada tomorrow,
if in fact they do, if it's not forfeited, then
much more could have happened on the story.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Well, I watched this space, so Piney did a great job.
We'll let you go mate, and we'll talk again soon.
Good stuff Bek, thanks mate, Jason Pine calling the action
out of Paris, out of the Olympics. It's day one.
In fact, there's a sevens match underway at the moment
to produce the markers all over that one.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
What's happening? Yeah, this is one that has a bit
of to do with our games. It's Ireland and Japan.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
They're in our pool.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Ireland smash in Japan thirty three points to nil, two
minutes left in the second half. And in the football
we've actually got the other two teams in our pool,
the Oli Whites who heard that successful win as we
just heard from Jason Pine to one. France and America
playing currently at the moment, huge huge amount of fans.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
I think it's a cellar that's looking great seventeen when
it's gone and that one and it's Nila, so that
one will see what happens. We got who was America
on Sunday morning at five o'clocks, which should be a
ripper
