The Olympic Football draw has been made, and it threw up a very interesting NZID based point!
In the Women's tournament New Zealand and Team GB have been drawn in the same group along with Brazil (gulp) and Cameroon. New Zealand won their qualifying match 15-0 on aggregate so will be no easy game for Team GB. The match between the Football Ferns and Great Britain will take place on the 25th of July, 2 days before the opening ceremony and the overall curtain raiser of the entire games. No pressure then!
No such NZID based rivalry for the GB men's team though, they have drawn, Senegal, UAE and possibly the toughest group, Uruguay. Not that the NZ men's team had an easier draw, drawing Brazil same as the women's team, with Belarus and Egypt making up the rest of another tough group.
