As an American I approve.
The US team played like shit and our corrupt pedophile president pulled strings to alter the odds.
And the last thing we need is another win the Pedophile-In-Chief can steal valor from and portray as his own for political gain.
You know they overturned the red card because we weren't going to win anyway.
Corruption aside, I'm not sure the rest of the world understands how little Americans care about this sport. I'm not surprised our team sucks lol
You can think what you like, I for example think the rest of the world understands perfectly well that soccer isn't one of your primary sports.
For a sport in its infancy in your country, I didn't think the US team were that bad
It actually is one of the primary sports for women in the US. And their womens team is one of the best, having won the world cup 4 times, 91, 99, 15 and 19
And for 1 in 4 sportsfans to follow football in the US isnt THAT bad. More than i expected.
That's even more scathing haha
What amuses me is the soccer fans here who think we're going to get better. I first encountered this in '94 when we (the US) hosted the world cup and got spanked by a Brazil team playing with 10 players. It's like Indians saying they're going to be good at basketball soon (they aren't, because they love cricket).
All American sports are dying because of private equity:
This, it is sucking the life out of kids sports
Italy didn't even qualify this year.
US played badly. That first goal was just embarrassing. The third one was even worse. Belgium absolutely dominated.
The fourth was extremely embarrassing as well, although who cares at that point. There's a defender there watching Lukaku literally flat-footed, even though there was nobody else around for him to guard.
At least with the header we had two defenders closely marking the guy, even though that just made it an even more spectacular goal.
Don’t tempt FIFA
Now the real question...has the orange kid-fucker lashed out about this yet? How many times has be blamed it on Dems, Biden, has he mentioned Obama yet?
Yes. He has called Belgium a “hell-hole”
He said the US needs to stop spending money on this game for losers and that they should finish the rest of the matches outside of the USA
True? Satire? I have no idea, and we may never know.
Recipe called for more Onion. We didnt know they were going to add this much.
Seem like everyone got successfully distracted over the epstein files and the ongoing genocide and wars
This is when we accuse them of cheating right?
Everything Trump touches turns to shit. He really has the reverse Midas touch.
Don't tempt him. One call is all it takes for Fifa to suddenly declare that actually the USA won. Turns out refs missed 87 fouls by the Belgian team.
I hope so much they will actually do something like that. Its about time ~~somebody sets fire to~~ the FIFA headquarters catch on fire randomly.
I want data centers to "catch on fire randomly" 🔥
@belgium, on behalf of the world : Thank you and well done! Whoever wins the cup, you are the team of the tournament !
Luckly Belgium don't have large natural oil sources on their land.
Trump will seize all the waffles!
They even refrain from using oil for their famous fries, they use animal fat instead.
It's almost like Trump made things worse. What a surprise.......
