    It is all business for the Netherlands.

    This could be where the dam bursts and we could see goal after goal.

    There was barely a celebration. They need as many goals as they can.

    Lieke Martens

    Brilliant start from the Netherlands and this is some finish from Lieke Martens who loops the ball over the goalkeeper, latching on to Dominique Janssen's crisp ball over the top.

    There was a muted celebration from the Dutch. They want more!

    Eden Park is not quite at full capacity but it's not far off. "USA, USA, USA," the crowd roar. They're encouraged by this lively start by the defending world champions.

    The Dutch haven't scored many goals or created many chances at this tournament.

    This is the game to test that.

    Early chance for US record scorer Alex Morgan who gets to a low cross at the near post, trying to flick the ball goalwards, but her outside of the boot shot deflects into the side-netting.

    Great start from Vietnam.

    I'm sure they didn't expect a corner in the first minute, and a nutmeg!

    The United States are also quick out of the blocks, peppering the ball into the Portugal box but there's no way through just yet.

    Vietnam 0-0 Netherlands

    Great start for Vietnam who aren't just chasing their first World Cup point, they're still after their first World Cup goal.

    Thanh Nah goes clear down the left but her cross is cleared away.

    Not for the first time at this World Cup, several United States players opting not to sing the USA national anthem.

    Sophia Smith is so young, I think the US is looking for a new generation.

    She has done well, she links well with the striker, scores goals. She is only 22 and she is a player who has an incredible career ahead of her.

    She is taking her chances and she wants to be important for her team.

    A big night for England's Rebecca Welch who takes charge of this match. It is the second time she has been a referee at this tournament after overseeing Colombia's 2-0 win over South Korea in Sydney.

    USA captain Lindsey Horan and Rose Lavelle have already been booked at this tournament and will be suspended for the next round if they pick up another caution - should the defending world champions make it through.

    Megan Rapinoe is quite a calm and laid back person. She is such a prestigious player, iconic in America.

    When I went out there [playing in America for Seattle Reign], I loved playing alongside her because she was so unpredictable. You can see that with some of the goals she has scored.

    I really enjoyed playing alongside her and she is an incredible player and person.

  19. Can Vietnam score first World Cup goal?published at 07:49 British Summer Time 1 August 2023

    Vietnam v Netherlands (08:00 BST)

    Vietnam, playing in their first ever World Cup, made a great account of themselves against champions the USA in their opener, falling to a 3-0 defeat.

    Last time out though they were eliminated after a 2-0 loss to Portugal.

    Vietnam are 32nd in the Fifa rankings, but coach Mai Duc Chung conceded the gap looked far bigger in their match in Hamilton.

    "In the first half, I was not satisfied with the team," he said.

    "They are 11 ranks higher than us and they come from Europe so, yes, they are much better than us. This is a lesson for us."

    The Netherlands only need a draw here to make the last 16 but they should win comfortably.

    I liked what I saw from the Dutch in their draw with the USA and that performance bodes well for the tests to come in the knockout stage.

    They have found a really effective way of playing and breaking teams down without the injured Vivianne Miedema, and they look the real deal. 0-2
