Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who previously played college baseball at Yale, discussed the U.S. men's national soccer team's performance during his appearance on Sean Hannity's radio show. He commented on the team's 4-1 defeat to Belgium, stating that the U.S. 'laid a big egg' and 'got their rear end kicked.' Despite claiming he is not a soccer fan, DeSantis expressed his opinion on the match. During his visit to Miami, where several World Cup games were held, DeSantis attended a match between Brazil and Scotland and took a Scotland supporter to Joe’s Stone Crab, a famous restaurant in Miami, which he shared on social media.
