He said in late November that World Cup security refused to let him into the United States' opener against Wales at the Ahmed Ben Ali Stadium and asked him to take off his jersey.
He also tweeted about the Netherlands-Argentina match earlier on Friday. His wife responded to the US Soccer Association statement on Twitter, saying she was " completely shocked " .

The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
