Trump: It might have been a mistake to assign Kane primarily defensive duties; the team should have focused more on offense.

Ahead of the World Cup final, US President Trump and Gianni Infantino attended a FIFA reception.

In a lengthy speech, Trump mentioned England football star Harry Kane.

Trump said, "England has a great player, I've even played golf with him, you know? That's Harry, he's always been outstanding. I think it might have been a mistake to give him a defensive role. But how much do I know about tactics? They took the lead and then put their best player in a defensive position. Anyway, the team should have attacked more, right?"

"Of course, I don't intend to interfere. After all, how much do I really know about coaching? But this is indeed somewhat unusual. Harry Kane himself is a very good person."
