The Men’s World Cup championship game is set to be held at New York New Jersey Stadium, also known as Metlife Stadium, on Sunday. The winner of Tuesday’s semifinal game between Spain and France will be taking on the winner of Wednesday’s semifinal game between Argentina and England.
President Trump is expected to be on the stage when the World Cup trophy is handed out to the winning country.
CNN believes it could be awkward.
“No matter who is in the final World Cup match, there could be some awkwardness in New Jersey on July 19 when US President Donald Trump presents the trophy,” they wrote.
“Trump has made war on one country in the tournament and verbal war on many others. He has insulted the people or its leaders of multiple others. He’s tried to influence elections in South America, imposed tariffs on economies everywhere, and broken old bonds as he’s tried to remake the world order with an America First foreign policy.”
But President Trump, who turned 80 years old this summer, does have some family history with soccer.

President Trump loves to brag about Barron Trump’s soccer abilities
President Trump has bragged about his son’s soccer skills in the past.
The President of the United States said earlier this year that his youngest son is “a good soccer player,” though the 19-year-old is “on the tall side for soccer.”
Barron Trump stands at 6 feet, 9 inches.
“That’s pretty tall,” the president repeated. “He’s on the tall side, but it’s good.”
There have been some really good, really tall soccer players in the past, like Peter Crouch, who is 6-foot-7.
However, Barron Trump doesn’t appear to have a future in the sport.
“He is interested in business in general, developing properties, making money and being involved in successful projects,” a source told PEOPLE. “He has his own ideas and understands what people of his age are looking for.”
