The USMNT's three group stage matches are scheduled for:
June 12th in Los Angeles
June 19th in Seattle
June 25th in Los Angeles.
It is tradition for the host country to play the very first game.
It is tradition for the President of tge host country to appear at the first game with the head of FIFA.
Los Angeles traditionally gets far more Mexican fans than USA fans in Los Angeles.
Trump might create - and might desire - to get booed at the opening match.
Maybe he will try to draw out protests outside the stadium. Maybe he will want USA to LOSE in Los Angeles so he can discredit California to the rest of the country. As if us losing is the fault of illegal aliens.
Seriously. Think about how his warped mind works. He doesn't see this event as anything traditionally patriotic. He sees it as a way to draw sourness, division, and violence in the streets.
He will seek travel chaos. He will ruin the event as a the profit center it is supposed to be. Europeans will travel less here. It's not going to be a bust, but it won't reach its full potential.
And all the while, Trump will be calculating how to profit off it personally.
It's not going to be a fun sporting event. It's going to be another Trump ****show.
