American President Joe Biden has called the USA football team 'underdogs' in their upcoming clash against Wales in the Qatar World Cup. The 80-year-old made the statement during what was meant as a morale-boosting telephone call to this home team yesterday (November 20).
In the video footage of the message, posted on the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team's Twitter account, Biden said: "You guys, I know you’re the underdog. But I tell you what man, you got some of the best players in the world on your team. You’re representing this country and I know you’re going to play your hearts out, so let’s go shock ‘em all. Keep trusting in one another, play as hard as you can for you, your families and your teammates - the whole country is rooting for you."
He added: "I wish I were there to see you, I really do. Go get ‘em guys, just play your hearts out - I know you will."
