The All Whites final group stage game at the FIFA World Cup is against Belgium at BC Place Vancouver, and for both teams it's a must-win match. The Red Devils are stacked with talent: Kevin De Bruyne, Jeremy Doku, Romelu Lukaku... the list goes on. But New Zealand have shown across the first two matchdays that they are capable of footing it with the best in the world. How will they fare against a Top 10 nation in the FIFA World Rankings? Will a strong team effort from the kiwis overcome a side seemingly reliant on individual efforts? Goran, Iffy & Oli preview the action and identify key areas where the All Whites will likely be stretched. Will Darren Bazeley change his starting side, or simply go to his subs bench earlier to be more proactive? And most importantly: WHO WILL WIN? A first win for NZ, and progression out of the group are in the offing. Come on you All Whites! FOLLOW THE UNUSED SUBS!

What are you worried about first and foremost with this Belgian side? What I'm worried about is it finally

clicks.

I'm worried about that the pressure has been wrapped up on them and they go, right, now it's time to really sort things out and get it right.

1:08

they're in the same position as us.

1:09

They have to win.

1:10

So it's not a case of we were kind of hoping that they could be cruising already and then they could throw out a few substitutes and be in cruise control a little bit and it would make our job a lot easier.

1:21

I think it just got a heck of a lot harder.

1:24

Yeah, look, really, really difficult.

1:25

But I do think all the pressure's on them.

1:27

Nobody's going to expect little old New Zealand to produce a result against Belgium, as bad as Belgium have been.

1:33

So why not? I've watched both games, and I keep thinking, at some point, one of their best is going to turn up, whether it's Doku, De Bruyne.

1:42

They've got world-class players.

1:43

You're sort of thinking it's going to happen, and it hasn't.

1:45

So I'm just really hopeful that they are shit again.

1:49

They're rubbish again.

1:50

Shit the bed again, guys.

1:52

Yeah, let's go.

1:52

Shit the bed.

1:53

All the pressure.

1:53

Come on.

1:54

All the pressure's on them, and we go out.

1:56

I think we actually have to be a little bit better defensively and shut them out until kind of the last 10, 15 minutes and have a right go from there.
