Justin Trudeau opts for USMNT’s World Cup opener, not Canada’s

On a day that Canada and the United States both opened their campaigns at the FIFA World Cup, Justin Trudeau opted to watch Team USA.

Trudeau, the 54-year-old former prime minister of Canada, was in attendance for the U.S.’s game against Paraguay in Inglewood, Calif. on Friday night. He was not there to watch Canada battle back to earn a 1-1 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Toronto earlier in the day.

The reason for his decision is obvious. Trudeau’s girlfriend is Katy Perry, and the 41-year-old pop star performed in the opening ceremony before the U.S.-Paraguay match.

During the first half, Trudeau and Perry were seen sitting together in one of the luxury suites at SoFi Stadium (called Los Angeles Stadium during the World Cup) as the Americans raced out to a 3-0 lead behind two goals from striker Folarin Balogun and a Paraguayan own goal. The U.S. went on to win the game, 4-1.

Canada’s game kicked off in Toronto at 3 p.m. ET, while the United States’ game started at 9 p.m. ET.

I prefer my country when he's not actually in it anyhow.....

I made a dedicated Trudeau thread on another site a few years ago.

A tribute of sorts
