Biden had apparently just left the stage and was mingling with the crowd, but he rushed back and grabbed the microphone.
President Biden broke out of the crowd at a Michigan technology plant and raced back on stage to tell his audience that the US had beaten Iran 1-0 to advance to the round of 16 as the second-place team in Group B.
Biden, 80, was so anxious to deliver the good news that he was drowned out at first by a band playing music.“U-S-A! U-S-A!” Biden joined in, adding: “That’s a big game, man.” President Biden announced that the US soccer team beat Iran at the World Cup during a visit to the SK Siltron plant in Bay City, Michigan on November 29, 2022.Photo by ODD ANDERSEN/AFP via Getty Images
