World Cup: Trump’s ‘help’ could give USMNT the title, says head coach

March 19, 2025

The US men's national team will have the opportunity to make a fuss at the World Cup next year in their hometown soil.

The team reached their third round of the final four World Cups (we were not eligible in 2018).

The final will be held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, hosted by the US, Canada and Mexico, home to the Giants and Jets in New York.

After finishing third in the first World Cup in 1930, the farthest thing the US has ever played since was the quarterfinals, not a round since 2002.

Last summer, the US was disappointed with Copa America and was unable to escape from the group stage while hosting the tournament.

But American football manager Mauricio Pockettino recently said that there may be a secret source next year: President Donald Trump.

In an interview with Sky SportsPockettino said Trump could play a role in the fate of USMNT.

“I say yes. If he asks me, I say yes. President, with your help, fans are in the back. [us] It's all possible to hold a World Cup,” Pockettino said.

Pochettino recently noticed the additional pressure to play hosts on his team.

“We're hosts, so I think there's pressure there. And that's a country about mentality winning. You want them to win in sports, everything that Americans are involved,” he said. Via mirror. “It's culture. It's culture. Of course it's pressure, but it's welcome. It means we feel the adrenaline we need to feel.”

It's safe to assume that Trump will appear at the World Cup. The World Cup will stretch for about a month in 11 games at NFL stadiums. In 1994, nine stadiums played hosts, and then President Bill Clinton officially opened the tournament.

Trump has been spotted at major sporting events since taking over the New Orleans Super Bowl LIX and Daytona 500 on Sunday in a row last month.

He often attended UFC events, and he was last at Madison Square Garden the week after he won the election. Trump also participated in the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in Philadelphia this week, and took part in the Army Nabby Games in December.
