Wales v Iran match sparks international incident between BBC pundit and coach

Germany legend Jurgen Klinsmann has become embroiled in a bizarre major row with Iran manager Carlos Queiroz after accusing his side of "working the referee" in their 2-0 victory over Wales.

Klinsmann, who is working as a pundit for the BBC during the World Cup in Qatar, made the comments following Friday's game, accusing the Iran team of gamesmanship and adding that it was "part of their culture".

In response, Queiroz took to social media and described the 1990 World Cup winner's remarks as "a disgrace to football" before calling for him to resign from FIFA's World Cup technical study group.
