Iran players expressed after being asked about the recent announcement of a peace agreement to end the war between their country and World Cup co-hosts the United States and its ally Israel. "We just want peace, which is the standard of FIFA. Peace, joy, and you know, those things," said striker Mehdi Taremi after their 2-2 draw with New Zealand in Los Angeles. But Taremi also slammed FIFA for a visa and travel 'disaster' that disrupted months of preparation and denied several staff and federation members the ability to go with the team to the United States.
Iran were forced to return to their training base in Mexico immediately after the New Zealand match then will fly back again to Los Angeles for the next game. "We train in Mexico and we play in LA, so at the end, we are not happy today because I think we deserve to win the game," said defender Ramin Rezaeian."This is kind of things, I think, is not a little bit fair, you know. We need to get fair competition," said midfielder Mohammad Mohebi.
