Iran’s shrinking socks
Print Edition
IRAN’S World Cup coach and players have hit out at the country’s football federation and kit sponsor for providing shrinking socks, boots that are too small and not enough equipment. The row has worsened tensions between coach Carlos Queiroz and the federation over chaotic preparations for the Brazil finals.
Queiroz criticized the German makers of the Iran team strip Uhlsport. “Before crucial games against Qatar and South Korea, which were played in extreme conditions of humidity, the equipment delivered was not proper,” he said. “If you give shoes sized 34 to somebody that wears size 44 he cannot walk five meters,” he said. Striker Karim Ansarifard added: “They give us large size socks and after two days and being washed they shrink to a small size.”
