Weah scored a goal in the U.S. team's opening tie against Wales and nearly scored on Tuesday. His goal was called back, however, as he was judged to be offside.
維阿在美國(guó)隊(duì)對(duì)陣威爾士的首場(chǎng)比賽中打入一球，并在周二險(xiǎn)些進(jìn)球。然而，他的進(jìn)球被吹回，因?yàn)樗慌性轿弧?br />

“我希望我們的球迷和伊朗人民原諒我們。我只是很抱歉，”塔雷米說(shuō)。
