🇮🇷Iranvs🇳🇿New Zealand

The biggest World Cup in history featuring 48 teams is shrinking fast. Which nations have been condemned to elimination?

New Zealand coach Darren Bazeley wants to see the Kiwis taking part in tournaments such as the Gold Cup, as the All Whites start plotting their next move after their elimination from the FIFA World Cup.

Egypt advanced past the group stage at the World Cup for the first time while Iran will have to wait to find out its fate after a 1-1 draw.
