Wait so the All Whites are playing Iran in... Los Angeles? Does FIFA know where New Zealand is?
Classic. Can't even fly a flag without someone losing their mind. Stay classy, LA.
stuffed mate, the All Whites are there to play footy not sort out Middle Eastern politics.
Just trying to eat my lunch and this pops up. World Cup drama before the first game, ffs.
Iranian fans arguing about a flag while the All Whites are probably just trying to find a decent pie over there. Priorities eh.
Seems like a lot of heat for a bit of cloth. But I guess when your country's run like that, the flag means something. Or everything.

Ah leave em alone, they're passionate about their team. At least they care. Most kiwis are like 'oh the footy thing? yeah maybe I'll tune in later'
true. Passion is passion. But maybe take it outside the interview next time lol
but it's not just a flag though, is it? It's everything. Still, not the time or place.
lol imagine getting in a fight over a flag in LA while the All Whites are about to get smashed by Iran. Support the team, not the politics.
Smashed? Iran lost their last three warmups mate. All Whites might actually have a chance if we don't choke.
Can we just talk about how the All Whites are actually there? That's insane. Good on em. (And no, not gonna debate the flag)
facts. They're playing in LA cos of the time zones or something? idk but go the whites
