President Biden, Philadelphia Union supporter, confirmed. But I honestly didn't know about his family's connection to the Union which is cool.
“It’s the most unusual sporting event I’ve ever attended, and I’ve attended thousands probably in my career,” said Biden, who’s been to three World Cups (two men's, one women's). “It’s a feel, and you can feel it even before you get anywhere near the stadium. You can feel it before you even land. It’s in the air. It’s a palpable sense of energy that I’ve never quite experienced before. And it’s consequential. It is the most consequential sporting event in the world, and it’s amazing how not just interested, but how deeply, deeply, deeply passionate every country is about the World Cup.”
The World Cup should hire Biden to do some commercial spots. That's just an amazing encapsulation.
I think they've missed their window with him now.
Now if he can get the World Cup away from Qatar ...
I wonder if the Crew will visit the White House. the visits usually happen in the middle of the summer, but coronavirus will still be a thing then, unless vaccine rollout somehow becomes way better. and of course, the last four teams didn't visit the white house anyway (one of them was Toronto tho)
Huh, i wonder what happened the last four years
The Sounders are afraid of flying.
Doop!!!
Biden sounds like a pretty chill dude, glad he’s our President
