FIFA WC: Iran Coach Slams U.S. Travel Restrictions After Dramatic Draw Against Egypt
FIFA World Cup: Iran coach Amir Ghalenoei lashed out at the travel restrictions imposed on his team by the United States after Iran's dramatic 1-1 draw against Egypt in their final FIFA World Cup group-stage match in Seattle on Friday, claiming the measures left his players at a disadvantage.
It was a complicated journey for Iran as they were forced to travel up from their base in Tijuana, Mexico, for their three group stage games and despite U.S officials relenting somewhat before the Egypt match allowing them into the Seattle area two days before kick off. The circumstances around their presence in USA also has had to contend with Washington's ongoing diplomatic row with Iran and it's understood the latter nearly were denied participation following conflict with America.
"The host country treated us very unfairly," Ghalenoei told reporters after the match.
