20th place v 85th place …not bad, Come on, Give em a taste of Kiwi!!!
Evangelos Marinakis needs to be buying Just, looking at how him and Woody link up.
Great result NZ!
Uselessness
Poor kiwis in for a beating nxt two matches. 😂😂😂😂
5.3 Million people and continually shocking the world, Rugby, Cricket, Football, Sailing, Rowing etc…NZ always punches way way above it's weight class, best sporting country per capita on the planet. Prove me wrong! 😊🇳🇿🔥💪
Your Jesse Randall photo is WRONG. Looks nothing like the guy! LOL
4:45 lmao that aint Randall and Bindon
Sardar Azmoun was also missing. What a shame
NZ strikers are Elijah and Wood. That's some hobbit power right there!
No talk about Iran having to camp outside of the US and travel from Mexico to LA just 24 hours prior to the match. While EVERY other team gets to acclimate, rest and practice in peace!
Bet it would get mentioned if it was any other team!!
And that's before we even get to the war, the premature shut down of their league and 4 months of NOT playing football….
Hats off to our Kiwi brothers for a great game.
Love from Australia.
Long live Iran. Viva Mexico y viva Iran
AOTEAROA REPPIN IT!! UNBELIEVABLE PERFORMANCE
Game was good…Iran did good but NZ..gyaad dmannn boiii..now i know their rugby team is legendary but i didn't know their football team was entertaining…they got potential fr tho..😂..that was some good shii.
thought neymar joined the show for a second.
For a country with only 5 million people and football not their main sport well done
Elijah Just scored twice and still ended
up on the losing side of the result sheet.
Two goals. Zero wins.
New Zealand led TWICE in this match and
Iran came back TWICE. At SoFi Stadium.
In Los Angeles. With an Iranian crowd so
loud it sounded like a home game in Tehran.
And here's what nobody's talking about —
Group G is now perfectly deadlocked.
Belgium 1 point. Egypt 1 point.
Iran 1 point. New Zealand 1 point.
Four teams. Four points shared equally.
This group is going to be absolutely
unhinged by matchday 3 😤⚽
Very entertaining game. Now there are hardly any weak teams. NZ And Cape varde case in point.
Nz can get a result against ( draw) Belgium n even stevens VS Egypt
Same for Iran. Its a tough group to call.
Iran was playing with a handicap. Their league got shut down for months due to war. Their players haven’t been playing professionally for months.
It's unfair.. they had to travel every game
