JD Vance’s wife Usha glows as she cradles growing baby bump watching USA battle Turkey at World Cup
A GLOWING Usha Vance was pictured cradling her growing baby bump as she attended Team USA’s final World Cup group stage match against Turkey. The second lady, 40, sported a soft blue and white floral dress as she was seen speaking with Jill Ellis, the chief football officer of FIFA, in a suite at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Thursday evening. Vance was pictured standing up with her right hand over her heart as the United States’ national anthem was played in the stadium. The wife of Vice President JD Vance was just one of several high-profile stars in attendance to support Team USA in their last group stage match. Security was tight in front of the VIP suites down on the 100 levels as Secret Service agents were seen setting the area up hours before kickoff, according to The Guardian. Meanwhile, actors Brad Pitt, Ashton Kutcher, and Jessica Alba were all pictured taking in the action from different suites. Paris Hilton walked onto the pitch hand in hand with her daughter, London, and son, Phoenix, as they brought out the game ball. Sabrina Carpenter also made a surprise appearance as she watched from one of the boxes with binoculars in hand. The United States has secured its spot in the World Cup knockout stage as group winners for the third time in its history, and the first since 2010. Ahead of the opening whistle, Mauricio Pochettino and Team USA learned that Bosnia & Herzegovina will be their opponent for the Round of 32. Most read in Sport USA manager Pochettino decided to bench a few big names against Turkey. The big absence for the US on the pitch to start was Captain America Christian Pulisic, who is still recovering from a calf injury. The hobbled Pulisic has only played in the USA’s World Cup opening match against Paraguay. Pochettino sat Pulisic for the club’s second game against Australia after the star striker failed to get through pregame routines. The USA manager’s decision not to start Pulisic on Thursday was to not risk aggravating his calf injury ahead of the knockouts. At the same time, four key players are a booking away from being suspended for the Round of 32. Folarin Balogun, Antonee Robinson, Tyler Adams, and Chris Richards, who have all been handed yellow cards throughout the team’s first two games, joined Pulisic on the bench. Team USA will face off against Bosnia on July 1 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. Kickoff is set for 8pm EST.
