President Donald Trump has called the U.S. Soccer Men’s National Team ahead of its opening match against Paraguay in Los Angeles.
Trump will not be in attendance at SoFi Stadium later Friday, but he shared words of encouragement with the team over the phone.
The president told the players Thursday night, “We're all rooting for you. The pressure is gone. Have some fun,” according to Fox Sports’ Jenny Taft.
The team later took to social media to share a clip of the call, in which Trump told coach Mauricio Pochettino that he was a “fantastic guy.”
