ABC7 Los Angeles reporter Abigail Velez apologized on social media for remarks she made on air before the United States faced Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32 at the World Cup. The comments, which went viral earlier in the week, included statements that she did not know the location of Bosnia and Herzegovina on a map and did not want to learn about the country.
She also said the United States team was "back" and "better than ever" ahead of the match.
The incident occurred days before the scheduled match between the two teams.
