"Mafia Boss-like Trump Ruined the Final Too" US Media Criticizes Special Treatment... "Infantino Sacrificed the World Cup"

Former U.S. President Donald Trump is facing sharp criticism from South Korean media outlets regarding his conduct at the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. One outlet, OSEN, published a scathing critique, labeling Trump a "mafia boss" and accusing him of "ruining" the final match.

The article highlights alleged preferential treatment given to Trump, suggesting it drew negative attention. The criticism extends to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, with the report claiming he "sacrificed the World Cup" due to these special arrangements. The match in question was the final between Spain and Argentina, held at the New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford.

Trump's presence and the reported reception he received have become a point of contention, with the South Korean media expressing disapproval of what they perceive as undue influence or special handling of the former president at a major international sporting event. The report implies that such actions detracted from the integrity or spirit of the World Cup final.
