FIFA reportedly to allow Donald Trump to hand World Cup trophy to winning team

When the World Cup trophy is presented to the winner of the 2026 tournament on July 19, President Donald Trump will reportedly have a big hand in the ceremony.

According to Ben Jacobs of TalkSport, the U.S. president is expected to be part of the on-field presentation at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey — so much so that FIFA has no problem if Trump is the one to hand the trophy over to the winning captain.

This would be a similar situation as to what played out during last summer's Club World Cup final, which was also played at MetLife Stadium. Trump was on the stage next to FIFA president Gianni Infantino as Chelsea players received their medals. He then helped carry the trophy with Infantino to captain Reece James and remained next to James as he lifted it to begin the celebrations.

"Before, they told me he was going to present the trophy, and then exit the stage," James said of Trump afterward. "I thought that he was gonna exit the stage. But I think he wanted to stay."

Just right off the top of my head...

Heinz ketchup and pickle relish
Best Foods mayonnaise (it's in San Francisco, it's only Hellman's on the East Coast)
French's yellow mustard
Gulden's brown mustard
Kikkoman soy sauce
Huy Fong Foods Sriracha chili sauce
Tabasco hot sauce
Frank's Red Hot hot sauce
Cholula hot sauce

There are a few bottles in there I don't recognize - the one to the right of the French's, the two between the French's and the Gulden's, the three between the salt shaker and Tabasco, and the one to the right of the Sriracha.

“From my cold, dead fingers.”

We can only hope that Iran or Cuba wins The World Cup.

Iran is currently the number-two team in Group G. You realize how awesome it would be if Iran won the Final round and Trump had to hand the trophy to the captain of a team whose country just kicked Trump's ass on the battlefield.
