Was it a bad call? Absolutely. Did this orange fuckwad make it worse by sticking his dick in it for his own glorification? You bet your ass.

All the hard work US Soccer has put in, to bring the world cup to the US and to raise the quality and status of football/soccer in the country has be thoroughly crapped upon in every way possible by this dementia riddled rapist.

All destroyed now, and probably only because he had some bet on the game. No other president, no matter how shitty, would have done this or even accidentally come close.

We have never been so hated by our own leaders as we are right now.

Don't forget the ICE shitshow that cooled the desire for people to come to the games leading to stadiums and hotels half empty.

i bet the dipshit can't even name a rule of soccer other than the generalization "you can't touch the ball with your hands".. and even that would be stressing the brain cell a bit.

What about throw-ins, goalies, grabbing the ball while falling to ensure a foul is called, etc?
