‘Wasn’t on my bingo card’ – Fans stunned at who presented match ball for USA’s World Cup clash vs Turkey

FANS were left stunned after spotting who brought out the football for USA’s World Cup clash against Turkey. A major US celebrity was given the honour of starting the match. USA had already topped the group so the match was more a procession. Football fans were not exactly expecting a full-throttle performance. But what they definitely had not bargained for was for Paris Hilton to start proceedings. The socialite, 45, looked glamorous in a US flag-themed dress, knee high boots and sunglasses. Paris walked out with her children Phoenix, three, and two-year-old London. After being handed the match ball, she smiled while showcasing it to the crowd, before placing it on its stand. Fans were shocked after seeing her role in the match. One said: “Paris Hilton pregame FIFA World Cup wasn’t on my Bingo card.” Most read in Sport Another asked: “Why did we need Paris Hilton at the World Cup?” One fan fumed: “Paris freaking Hilton? Are you kidding me? Is that the best we could do to represent the US? Just WOW! @FIFAWorldCup how disappointing.” Paris has actually attended three USA games now. She wore a US jersey as she arrived for the 4-1 win over Paraguay on June 12. For the 2-0 win over Australia, Paris once again represented America in a kit adorned with stars.
