Timothy Weah Issues Apology For Red Card Against Panama
USA forward Timothy Weah has issued a public apology for his red card against Panama in the Copa America on Thursday.
Weah was sent off after only 18 minutes for violent conduct after striking Panama defender Roderick Miller in an off-the-ball incident.
USA would go on to take the lead four minutes later through Folarin Balogun but they still went on to lose 2-1 to Panama.
USA will now need to beat Uruguay in their final group game on Monday to stand a chance of advancing to the knockout rounds of the competition.
Juventus forward Weah has wasted no time in offering an apology for his antics that put his teammates in a difficult situation.
"Today, I let my team and my country down," he posted on social media.
"A moment of frustration led to an irreversible consequence, and for that, I am deeply sorry to my teammates, coaches, family and our fans. Moving forward, I am committed to learning from this experience, not allowing an opponent to provoke me, and working to regain the trust and respect of my team and supporters.
"No matter what I will always fight for my team and my country till the day I'm no longer needed or capable to!! Sincerely apologize to everyone. My love for this team goes beyond just football and I'm so sad and angry at myself for putting my brothers through what they went through tonight."
