Wary of Mexican forward Giovani dos Santos’s dead ball
ability, Trump has already taken a hardline approach to countering the former
Tottenham Hotspur flop legend’s threat from free-kicks.
‘We’re gonna build a wall like no other team has built a
wall before. I know other teams have built a wall but this wall is gonna be so
huge, sooo huge, there’s no chance those Mexicans will ever manage to kick the
ball into our goalbag from a free shoot. I’m talking eleven, twelve, even fifteen
big, strong all-American heroes standing in this wall, and it’s gonna be
awesome. So awesome. And we’re going to go straight up the other end and score
so, so many goals, and we’re going to be winning so bigly by the end that there’ll
be nothing they can do about it.’
Mexican coach Juan Carlos Osorio confirmed that contrary to
Trump’s claims, the Mexican players would not be assisting their American counterparts in constructing an orderly wall on the edge of the penalty area and suggested
they could perhaps learn the rules of football themselves.
Donald Trump did not take kindly to being explained how the sport works
