Key Points:
- Spain's national soccer team posted a celebration photo on social media after winning the 2026 World Cup, notably excluding former U.S. President Donald Trump from the image.
- Trump participated in presenting the World Cup trophy alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino after Spain's 1-0 victory over Argentina but lingered on the podium longer than expected.
- Despite Infantino's efforts to remove Trump from the stage during Spain's celebration, Trump was not visible in the official team photo shared online, leading to speculation about whether he was cropped out or the photo was taken later.
- Spain secured the World Cup title with a dominant performance, outshooting Argentina 20-2 and winning in extra time thanks to Ferran Torres' decisive goal assisted by Nico Williams.
