Yeah kinda makes me want us to lose
Ive gotten all the upsets I tuned in for so ill be sure to watch
I wanna see the US lose so the orange kid-fucker loses his goddamn mind, and go off on dementia rants again...immediately after his vanity state fair was a collosal failure
Well have i got good news for you lol
We looked like dogshit
Over the past few weeks I was thinking kind of the same thing. On one hand, I like watching world cup soccer and seeing the US men's team do well for the first time in a long time is really great and I would be juiced to see them make it to the final.
On the other hand, it had to happen while we have one of the worst pieces of shit to ever occupy the white house, and he would somehow make their historic achievement about himself in some way and taint it forever, so I kind of want them to lose before that happens.
Either way it's a win-win. I'll be watching their games on a pirate stream so FIFA can't earn any money off me taking a casual interest in the games this year.
There is no way on God's green earth are USA making it to the final without every ref being bought up. Even then, Mbappe and France will pit 3 or 4 past USA even with a crooked ref. He'd have to disallow all of them and it he completely obvious.
Yeah I mean you're probably right. I don't know much about the game to be able to tell who the clear favorites are. It just seems to be my luck that if I root against something the universe has a way of twisting that energy against me.
