In a surreal scene, USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter and team captain Tyler Adams were quizzed on government relations Monday by Iranian journalists ahead of the US’ must-win match against Iran in the World Cup on Tuesday.

Berhalter was pressed as to “why he hasn’t asked US gov’t to remove a Naval ship from around Iran,” according to USA Today Sports’ Nancy Armour.

Berhalter was also asked about U.S. immigration policies, to which the 49-year-old head coach responded, “I don’t know enough about politics, I’m a soccer coach.”

I guess Berhalter forgot to mention the i-ranian protesters recently slaughtered in the streets by the i-ranian government....

The Iranian reporter sounded like he could easily work for CNN or really any of the US networks. Berhalter should have told him to apply for an H1B to cover the Trump campaign.

Gregg Berhalter was born Aug. 1, 1973, so he was 6 years old when Obama’s friends in Tehran seized the US embassy and held the Americans there hostage for 444 days. Does he even remember that event?
