++Sky News++ captured his words, as he explained: “”Yes, I asked for a review by FIFA. I spoke to a man [Infantino] who is highly respected. I’m the one who got them to do it, not Biden. Biden was asleep.”

Conspiracy time.

Because of the 250 years of independence, the final will be rigged to be USA/England and the USA will win controversially.

Then trump will keep the trophy

    I'm already suspicious the USA have got as far as they have, yes Norway are ranked two places below, but Haaland is far far better than anyone the US can field. Chances are given the USA would have had plenty of Lantino countries in their qualifying group, they're only chance of getting into the World Cup was automatic due to hosting it. I don't know, maybe I'm being to harsh. Still it is utterly unbelievable that FIFA have reversed this.

    Holy shit. As an American seeing the marketing and advertising for the world cup is sick. It's so cringy... I feel bad for all the authentic people that love the sport.

    I wouldn't doubt if there's some business going on with FIFA on large corrupt scale though... American football is losing its pull of American culture... They needed a new sport to help them create submissive people.

    It's about to get soulless like Hollywood and marketed pop music. ...and the Americans will froth over it like hungry zombies.

    The host countries are usually setup to get out of their group. US has generally been good enough on their own to get to quarterfinals when they qualify, but that’s when the real tourney begins.

    I was a great athlete and understand sports very well...

    I understand penalising someone in one game but you can't penalise them for a game that hasn't happened yet.

    How can anyone listen to such nonsense and be like "yeah I should vote for that guy". Every time I torture myself by watching a video of him, there's some outlandish claim of great knowledge or adeptness on a subject, immediately followed by laying out complete misunderstanding of said subject.

    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.

    As an American Tottenham fan I am over the moon with how Poch has transformed Team USA and I was so ready to watch them beat Belgium without one of their best players.

    Now it just looks stupid, like no one believes they could do it without this one guy. On top of the optics of it now Belgium has an extra reason to fight, it will absolutly light a fire under them. Was it a red card? No, it should have been a yellow but that's the game. You put the chip on your shoulder and go out there and fuck shit up. Now Belgium has the chip.

    Just another example of the whining bitch culture the US has become under trump, the biggest thin skinned bitch of them all.

    Norway is on form and are going to give England a great run and France are going to be hard to beat. People have been dogging this WC but honestly its been entertaining. The officiating has been half trash but the games have mostly been lit and the upsets have been great.

    We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch

    Anyone who knew someone like Trump would ruin a well-oiled grift machine.

    This sorry excuse for a human being has less planning skills than a pool of piranhas.

    He could have called Infantino, have the suspension reversed and brushed away tbe journalist's question with a joke, but he's even worse than Berlusconi.

    Well the ownership class of the US is a bunch of Karens. We know this.

    And we know FIFA is corrupt AF, even more than the NFL.

    What's vulgar about it now is that it's done without a lick of subtlety or tact. The corruption is out in the open. They're doing the Qu'ils mangent de la brioche more plainly and more often than was ever done in France.

    ( Technical history fact: Marie Antoinette never said it, but the rumor was viciously spread and sped her way to the guillotine. The historic queen was classically trained and actually had tact. The French aristocracy, however, did not.)
