Clinton enjoyed watching US victory so much, he makes return appearance at World Cup

Fan in Chief: Clinton back to see another US game

RUSTENBURG, South Africa — Former U.S. President Bill Clinton is back to lend his support to the United States team for its second-round game against Ghana, hanging out with Mick Jagger, along with journalists Wolf Blitzer and Katie Couric.

Clinton is the honorary chairman of the U.S. bid to host the World Cup in either 2018 or 2022. He was at the Americans’ victory over Algeria on Wednesday that sent them into the second round of the World Cup, and enjoyed himself so much he rearranged his schedule to come to Saturday night’s game.

He sat in a VIP box and wore a U.S. Soccer jacket. The Rolling Stones’ singer sat beside him in the early going.

Clinton will be in Cape Town on Sunday to meet with members of FIFA’s executive committee.

Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant also was in the VIP section Saturday night.
