We're 85th for reference.

So, yeah, it's a mountain to climb.

But at this World Cup already, Mike, as I no doubt you will have seen, some of the big guns haven't had it all their own way.

So why can't there be a bit of history tomorrow in Vancouver?

Potentially, yeah.

I think defensively, we would have been.

1-0 at half-time, and it was probably the best half of football New Zealand has played on the world stage.

1-0 ahead, but the second half, Egypt came out with more intent and scored three goals.

All you can do, though, is put that behind you, Mike.

You have to basically focus forward, say, right, what did we learn from that?

How can we defend better?

You only have to win 1-0 tomorrow, and I think that will stem from defending well and taking chances at the other end when they come.

They won't come very often, but when they come, got to be clinical.

Yeah, well, Mohamed Salah is one of the greatest footballers on the planet.

And the way he scored Egypt's second goal was, I mean, he's been doing that for Liverpool for years.

And, you know, you have to look at it and marvel at the skill of the guy.

So sometimes you just have to hold your hands up and say, not much we could have done.

What you really have to do is cut it off at the source.

Belgium have a lot of good players, Mike.

They're a good team.
