Club World Cup Final: Why The US Anthem? The US is Not Playing – Trevor & Trump Explain It

☪ The Union of Ishmael and Esau that is shaking the world continues!
❖ People of the flesh are united in persecuting those of the spirit!

😔 Their Slaves are the players, fans and constructors of sports venues.

⚽ The 2025 Club World Cup final took place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. But before both PSG and Chelsea kick off the game, a national anthem ceremony was taking place in order to herald the host nation’s efforts in bringing together such a prestigious tournament.

But, why play the US anthem, as it's not a domestic competition?

In this video we also hear President Dollar Trump (Red-Haired Esau) thanking the genocidal Ishmaelite nations of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar plus the Corrupt Petrodollar addict and FIFA President Gianni Infantino Infantino (Red-Haired Esau).

Trump and Infantino's 'bromance' at the Club World Cup was next level.

The US president and the head of FIFA, whose interests align, have been exchanging pleasantries throughout the tournament.

For several months, the two men have been publicly displaying their cordial relationship and exchanging lavish compliments. When the Italian-Swiss official praised Trump as a leader the world needs, Trump returned the favor, describing his "special friend" as "a winner" and "an excellent guy."

Did they all tell/order Trump to be at the MetLife stadium last night? I think so!

Americans went super patriotic on Sunday for the Club World Cup Final between a French team and an English team. Between Chelsea the beneficiaries of a Russian oligarch and then American investors and Paris Saint Germain (PSG) a soft power play by Qatar It was all there; military flag ceremony, A marching band. Fireworks. Pillars of golden smoke. A giant blow-up version of the trophy’s orbiting rings. An appearance by Saudi-Qatar-UAE sponsored President Donald Trump, who was loudly booed when he was briefly shown on the big screen during the national anthem and again during the trophy ceremony. A fighter jet flyover. A halftime show packed with star power.

Infantino claimed on Saturday that the tournament was “definitively … a huge, huge, huge success” and that “the golden era of global club football has started.” He pointed to revenues of almost $2.1 billion, or $33 million per game, which he said out-earned any other club competition in the world. That’s a lot of money, certainly. FIFA earned $7.5 billion on the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino’s remodeling of the Club World Cup marks a new low in placing financial demands over basic sporting integrity. Football has long been ruled by money — but under Infantino’s lead, FIFA just makes up the rules as it goes along.

Infantino once claimed to understand migrant workers in Qatar’s plight (thousands of whom died in the construction boom leading to the 2022 World Cup), arguing “I know what it means to be discriminated, to be bullied, as a foreigner in a foreign country. As a child I was bullied — because I had red hair and freckles. Plus, I was Italian, so imagine.”

His response to dozens of women in Tehran being arrested just for trying to watch a match he was attending with the stated goal of improving gender equity in Iranian football was, “We cannot solve all the problems of the world in FIFA. But we can always bring a smile.”

Infantino’s best line as FIFA president might actually be his first, delivered in 2016 when he was ushered in as a reformer after his predecessor Sepp Blatter was unceremoniously barred in the wake of a massive corruption scandal.

While sportswashing in football has a decades-long tradition, and brought it to the next level by overseeing the decision to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups in Russia and Qatar, Infantino has fully embraced it. This has normalized a state of affairs where football’s first global function (besides bringing in TV revenue) is to launder the reputation of autocratic regimes.

Infantino was so enamored with the Qatar World Cup that he actually moved to Doha. And he apparently enjoyed building gleaming football stadiums on sand caked with the dried blood of dead migrant workers that he’s spent years maneuvering for Saudi Arabia — where a ghastly 21,000 migrant laborers have died since the state’s vast collection of petro-dollar-fueled megaprojects called Vision 2030 was announced in 2016.

Infantino helped orchestrate a number of schemes, including the 2030 World Cup’s bizarre multicontinental hosts and dramatically truncating the bidding process to help dissuade other potential hosts. Unsurprisingly, Saudi Arabia bid to host the 2034 World Cup unopposed.

Saudi Arabia’s sporting influence is by no means limited to football, but the blatancy with which Infantino has slapped a “for sale” sign on the global working class’s most beloved game is particularly sickening. And this gets to the heart of the underlying problem with Infantino’s reign, and what it signifies about wider shifts in football’s administration and growth-at-all-costs perspective.

Gianni Infantino isn’t just another corrupt FIFA president—his greed, self-importance, and political alliances are actively ruining football.
