"Y'know ... they should really be giving this trophy to me. I know all about soccer. Nobody knows more about soccer than me. Nobody. Biden didn't know about soccer. Barack Hussain Obama didn't know about soccer. I know. I know all about it.

Y'know ... some of these men? Big strong legs! No women, either! Fake news tells you there's women's soccer, but nobody believes 'em.

Y'know ... we have the 'hottest' country in the world right now, thanks to everybody's favourite president: ME. The Strait of Iran is open if they know what's good for 'em. We're gonna see about tariffs on that sometime. We might become a little aggressive with 'em. I dunno. It all depends on Greenland.

And they play soccer there! Did you know that? I did. I saw them vandalize the soccer, just scooped it up 400 ... 500 miles. Why would they do that? Do you know? No, you don't, because you're fake news.

$14 million is a much better deal, don't you think? Awash. They're awash because of me. Did you know that word? You didn't, did you? Because I knew it. I knew the word. It has a 'h' in it, like 'white'. Somebody should look into that. I would, but I already know how it turns out. It turns out in Chy-nah. Just like them!

Anyway, what do I sign now? You see this signature? I can make money from this signature.

Believe me. Believe me".

Can Iran win this? That would be great to see.

Could just add it to their demands for opening the Strait of Hormuz.

Whoever makes it to the final, and whoever wins, I hope both sets of fans can put their differences aside and unite in song.

Can’t wait for the booing, he rarely exposes himself in a venue like this, where he can’t control every aspect of it.

He's gonna get booed mercilessly, can't wait to watch.

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 17 points 15 hours ago

He's gonna steal it.

I can't stand watching soccer, I love sports, I just can't stand soccer. However I would love it if Iran won

Suddenly, every team starts playing to lose

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

In 1994 during the Caribbean cup, Barbados was playing Grenada and needed to win by 2 goals in order to advance. They gave up a goal late making the score 2-1. They had a golden goal rule at the time where any goals scored in extra time counted as two. Barbados scores an own goal to tie it and push for extra time. Grenada was in a position that if they score in either net it's a benefit to them, so Barbados had to defend both goals until the end of regulation.

It's not quite like playing to lose, but it's pretty close and super entertaining.

I remeber reading about that! Thanks for sharing!

Gosh I wish we'd see that sort of collective action.

[-] Malyca@lemmy.zip 11 points 17 hours ago

If he lets the trophy out of his office

[-] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 17 hours ago

You spelt orifice wrong

[-] ElReatonVaquer0@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

I'd be worried he drops it, with those tiny hands...

[-] comador@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago
