Australian fans chant against Trump ahead of World Cup match against USA

Summary

Australian soccer fans have stirred controversy with their anti-Donald Trump chant during the FIFA World Cup. Ahead of their Group D match against the U.S. Men's National Team on June 19 in Seattle, the fans sang: "Aussie boys are on a bender, Donald Trump is a s-- offender." This chant has gone viral, drawing attention to Trump's alleged connections to Jeffrey Epstein as Australia aims for another win after their recent 2-0 victory over Turkiye.
