"Germany midfielder Leon Goretzka says United States President Donald Trump has managed to make us feel not only German, but also European. Goretzka, who plays club football for Bayern Munich, in an interview with Die Zeit newspaper published on Wednesday, spoke about the World Cup being hosted by the US, Canada and Mexico, and he suggested Germany and other European teams will be the favourites."
"Others have caught up, but in the most important game in the world, we're still ahead of every continent, Goretzka said. Far from being left behind, Europe will show everyone what's what on the field. The countdown to the June 11-July 19 football tournament has drawn calls for a boycott. Oke Gottlich, the president of Bundesliga club St Pauli and one of the German federation's 10 vice presidents, last week said the time had come to seriously consider and discuss this."
