White House aide Andrew Giuliani urges England to win World Cup

Andrew Giuliani, the White House’s FIFA liaison appointed by former President Donald Trump, told the Daily Mail that a victory for England at the 2026 World Cup would make a “great story” during the United States’ 250th‑anniversary celebrations. He said the United States cannot win the tournament and suggested that England’s triumph would be a fitting tribute.

Giuliani highlighted England’s balanced squad and singled out Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane and midfielder Jude Bellingham as key players, saying, “If they win the tournament, he is the main reason for it.” He noted that England will face defending champions Argentina in the semifinal, with the match scheduled for 21:00 CET.

The comments were made in the context of the tournament’s semifinals, where England, Argentina, Spain, and France are competing for a place in the final.
