@rickstrom: ABC7 reporter Abigail Velez tried having some fun during a live broadcast and instead riled up many World Cup fans. As the United States national team is set to face off against Bosnia and Herzegovina, the journalist ignorantly remarked she doesn’t know where the country is on a map and doesn’t care to learn. She also had another moment when she ridiculed Turkiye in relating the nation to Thanksgiving turkey. She has since apologized. Notably Fox Sports host and former swedens trinket Zlatan Ibrahimovic became emotional seeing Bosnia and Herzegovina go through to the knockout stage.
