President Trump joked about requiring the US to call soccer “football” in line with the rest of the world during an interview at the FIFA Club World Cup final Sunday, where he touched on the state of America and his favorite sports stars.
Trump attended the FIFA final at MetLife Stadium Sunday evening, where Chelsea FC trounced Paris Saint-Germain FC in what the president aptly described as “a bit of an upset.”
Despite the let-down match, Trump lit up when a reporter suggested penning a new executive order officially renaming soccer “football” in the US.
“I think we could do that,” he told DAZN.
The commander in chief was invited to the tournament by FIFA President Gianni Infantino, a longtime friend.
