All Whites warm up at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

The All Whites have prepared for their return to the Football World Cup in the furnace of Florida, where they learnt "harsh" lessons and dared to wonder if they could match it with tournament favourites.

Now they head to the North American west coast, where their group will be based and where results will matter.

Sunday's 1-0 loss to world number four England in their final of two warm-up matches was not an unexpected result against a team that had some of the game's superstars in their squad.
