To be surprised Trump didn’t just lift the World Cup instead of the Spanish captain?

Why didn’t he just lift the trophy for them?

Seriously, just do one mate, it’s not your achievement.

I said the same thing- he literally had to be shoved off the stage by the FIFa president! Dickhead!

MrsTerryPratchett · 19/07/2026 23:53

He’s a hanger on in the extreme. Didn’t even know what a red card was two weeks ago. Now wants reflected glory.

Twat.

Twat indeed

He makes my blood boil! I wish someone had rugby tackled him to the ground.

Gallusoldbesom · 19/07/2026 23:58

I imagine the European press will make sure they don’t publish a single photo with him in it! Well done Spain.

TemperanceWest · 19/07/2026 23:58

Agree with you all.

I was laughing at the BBC commentary. There's Trump and Infantino not far behind of course.😂

RaraRachael · 20/07/2026 00:01

He probably wants to keep the trophy in his office like he did with the world club champions one.
It was obvious he wanted to stay on the stage as the Spanish team were celebrating.

InterestedDad37 · 20/07/2026 00:03

He's just a shameless fuckwit with no sense of good grace.
The same goes for Infantino.

I said he looked like that weird uncle at a party who has no idea what’s happening or who anyone is 😁 but to refuse to move out the way was cringey!

remember salt beu when he lifted a trophy ? no real difference than if it was trump as VIP figures such as heads of state who are permitted by FIFA rules.

Normally I want Spain to lose but thank God for Spain this evening. If I have it correct that means Spain now holds both the women’s and men’s world cup.

shocking,he has no shame...disgusting man.

So spot on 🤣🤣

GustyGertie · 20/07/2026 00:19

Everyone was thinking/saying the same. What a tool.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 20/07/2026 00:21

I didn’t get why he was allowed to give out medals but the President of Mexico and PM of Canada weren’t

I thought you meant Trump lifted the Spanish captain. I was disappointed to not find a video of it

Yuck
He can keep his grubby little paws off Rodri. 😡

Haha! Yes, not the clearest worded thread title, I’ll grant you!

They had to tell him the big trophy behind was his one to get him to move.

AnAutumnCrow · 20/07/2026 00:48

Trump had probably rehearsed lifting the trophy jointly with Messi, and was even more confused than usual.

There's only so far a cocaine enema administered inside an enclosed booth will take him once he’s released onto grass.

I was impressed with the amount of booing tbh - and the BBC commentary reflecting it
