What they're saying

"
Iran players left a handwritten note in the locker room after Sunday's 0-0 draw with Belgium thanking Los Angeles for its "hospitality," despite the difficult conditions facing the team in its World Cup campaign. Amid the conflict in the Middle East, Iran have faced unprecedented restrictions for their two Group G fixtures in Inglewood, having to travel from their Mexico base to the United States less than a day before kick-off and having to return straight after the games.
