IRAN COACH SLAMS NIKE OVER BOOTS ROW

Iran coach Carlos Queiroz has called on Nike to apologise to his team after the US sportswear firm said it could not supply the players with football boots.“US sanctions mean that, as a US company, Nike cannot supply shoes to players in the Iranian National team at this time,” Nike had said. “This last comment of Nike was, in my personal view, an unnecessary statement. Everybody is aware about the sanctions,” Queiroz told Sky Sports.
