They call it football, but I guess we call it soccer,’ Trump said in an interview with a sports streaming channel. 'But that change could be made very easily.'

After the match, which Trump called “a bit of an upset” in a post-game interview, Trump was asked if he could issue an executive order to rename soccer “football” in the United States. Despite the let-down match, Trump lit up when a reporter suggested penning a new executive order officially renaming soccer “football” in the US.
