KLINSMANN TO SPEAK TO QUEIROZ AFTER ROW

(BBC)

Jurgen Klinsmann says he wants to speak to Carlos Queiroz to “calm things down” after the Iran manager said the German’s criticism of his team was a “disgrace to football”. BBC pundit Klinsmann accused Iran of gamesmanship and said they “worked the referee” in their 2-0 win over Wales. Queiroz tweeted that the remarks “undermine our efforts, sacrifices and skills” and invited him to their camp. He also called for him to resign from Fifa’s World Cup technical study group. Responding on Sunday morning, Klinsmann - a World Cup winner with Germany in 1990 - told BBC Breakfast: “There was stuff really taken out of context. I will try to give him a call and calm things down. I have never criticised Carlos or the Iranian bench. Some even thought I was criticising the referee because he didn’t do anything about the way they were behaving on the bench.”
