Summary
Former President Donald Trump surprised the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team by calling head coach Mauricio Pochettino to offer encouragement, calling him a “fantastic coach” and predicting a World Cup win. The team, ranked 17th by FIFA, kicks off their campaign Friday night against Paraguay in Inglewood, California — on home soil for the first time since 1994, as the tournament expands to 48 teams. Pochettino thanked Trump and vowed to make the nation proud. With political support and a passionate home crowd behind them, the U.S. aims to make waves on the global stage and finally reach the quarterfinals.
