Donald Trump’s World Cup striker Andrew Giuliani says America is backing England to win the World Cup.
He told the Daily Mail: ‘You know, if the United States can’t win on our 250th birthday, then it would be a great story for the British to come to America and win during our anniversary celebrations.
‘I see I have suffered for England for 60 years, if they win the tournament it will be a good victory for them.
‘I certainly think England can go all the way; They’re one of the best teams left right now.’
Mr Giuliani said President Trump, who wrote on social media last week that Harry Kane was a “great player” and a “great man”, was closely following the England forward’s progress in the tournament.
He said: ‘I was among a group of people playing golf with President Trump a few years ago and Wayne Rooney was with us and the President knows his football pretty well, I think it’s because of his relationship with (his son) Barron.

Mr Giuliani added: ‘Harry Kane is the England team’s number one goalscorer and if they are going to win the tournament he will be the main reason why.
‘He is one of the main players on the team and he and Jude Bellingham are good athletes.
‘England strike me as a very balanced team, you have to have confidence and the coach has to tell them they have the potential to win.’
The statement came after England captain Harry Kane confirmed he once played golf with the US leader, describing it as a rather surreal experience.’
Kane said he was jealous of Trump’s game, considering the incident took place in Florida in late 2024 and he was 78 years old at the time.
He said: ‘I played well to be honest, but when I was in Palm Beach 18 months ago he invited me to play.
‘So when the president invited you somewhere, it was quite a surreal experience to meet him and of course play golf with him.
‘His golf is pretty good to be honest with you. I hope I can play golf as well as him when I get to his age, that’s for sure.
‘It’s a unique experience but I’m grateful he invited me to play.’
