US coach apologises for altered Iranian flag post

The head coach of the US national football team Gregg Berhalter apologised for the distorted image of the Iranian flag in the team's social networks.

“The players and staff had no idea what US Soccer has put out - and sometimes these things are out of your control. We can only apologise on behalf of the players and staff. Our thoughts are with the Iranian people - but we must be totally focused on this match," Mirror quotes him as saying.
