Whom will Obama cheer for in Tuesday's USA vs. Iran match?

MAJOR event organizers better re-think WHERE EXACTLY they try to schedule events.
This is already a fluster cuck.
Never trust any Moslem country, fully.
Iran has a lot of influence in the northern part of Qatar. Extensive local trade and travel across the Persian/Arabian Gulf between the two.
I’m more concerned about attempts by govt actors at restricting dissent in my own country. God bless America.
What did people expect?!
Biden has politicized and had used government resources for HIS/THE-SQUAD politics. No doubt.
Thanks
