Trump Confuses England Coach with Captain

Published July 18, 2026 · Updated July 18, 2026 · Mundo Deportivo

Former US President Donald Trump mistakenly praised England captain Harry Kane instead of coach Thomas Tuchel when commenting on their World Cup semifinal defeat to Argentina.

During a reception in New York with FIFA president Gianni Infantino, Trump incorrectly referred to Harry Kane when discussing England's performance. The former US president claimed he played golf with the England captain 18 months ago, rather than addressing the coaching decisions that drew criticism after their semifinal loss. catcrossgame.com

The incident adds to the growing criticism directed at Tuchel for his conservative tactics in the match, where England was accused of playing defensively with what was described as 'parking the bus' for most of the second half.
