Andrew Giuliani, the U.S. representative for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, has expressed his support for England to secure the championship should the United States not emerge victorious. In a discussion with the Daily Mail, Giuliani noted that an English win during America’s 250th anniversary would make for a compelling narrative, especially given England’s long wait for a major international title.
Giuliani emphasized the talent present in the current English squad, particularly highlighting Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham. He suggested that Kane’s goal-scoring prowess is pivotal to their success, while also commending the team’s balance under their current management. Furthermore, Giuliani mentioned that President Trump maintains a keen interest in football, which has been influenced by his son, Barron, and past interactions with players like Wayne Rooney.
The admiration appears mutual, as England captain Harry Kane recently shared details of a round of golf he played with President Trump in Florida. Kane described the opportunity to play with the former president as a memorable and surreal experience, noting his impressive skill on the course.
