Follow all the Football World Cup action as the New Zealand All Whites take on Iran in their Group G opening match at Los Angeles Stadium.
All Whites captain Chris Wood says the outside noise fades away once footballers cross the line.
With so much attention on New Zealand's opening game of the Football World Cup against Iran, Wood and coach Darren Bazeley have put on a united front that the team's only focus is football.
While Iran's striker Mehdi Taremi said: "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and we respect them, but we are here to bring joy to the Iranian people. We do not get involved in politics. We are here to play football."
