Moreno: Iran and New Zealand Not Good Enough to Advance

Moreno evaluated Iran's and New Zealand's group‑stage performances and concluded that both sides fell short. Defensive lapses for Iran and a lackluster attack for New Zealand prevented either team from securing a spot in the next round.

His remarks underscored that the two nations are out of contention and will not progress further in the tournament. The comments sparked discussion among football officials and fans alike.
