The All Whites' World Cup campaign has well and truly begun, and the team's made a solid start in their big opener.

The Kiwi side drew 2-all with Iran and Elijah Just became the first All Whites player to score twice in a World Cup match.

Former coach Ricki Herbert says it was a 'super' start for the All Whites.

"The players will be disappointed, there were a couple of moments that they probably just switched off - and you get punished at that high level, but what a super start!"
