Re the NATO summit. IIRC Scrotus said the 'only reason' he's attending is because Erdogan 'personally' invited him.

I'm hoping to see more scenes like the recent summit where the other leaders grouped together for a chat and he was left standing on his own, looking the fool.

Yeah, I'm now hearing him on TV going on about the football red card as if he knows it all, which I'm sure he thinks he does. I know very, very little about football, but I bet I know more than Scrotus does. And what I know would probably fill a thimble.

My younger son played Rugby and I only claim a bit of knowledge about that. Both sports (to me) have complicated rules compared to US football.

If George Bernard Shaw had been a sports pundit, he would have said that no Englishman could opine on the offside rule without making another Englishman hate him

Trump on USA-Belgium: "If they beat us, they can be really proud. The other way, if they beat us, we'll say -- I say it was rigged, just like the election was rigged in 2020, but I won't get into that."

Read one way that suggests that he knows the 2020 election was not stolen.

FIFA is pathetic and it all started when that Infantino presented Trumper with a fake ridiculous peace trophy. That was ridiculous . And now this.

FIFA should be ashamed. The US should put Balogun on the bench, that is the only fair outcome after Trump interfered.

I now read "Trumpers insist the weather is being “geoengineered” against Trump"

which has a pleasing symmetry with claims that the CIA seeded the clouds at Woodstock ...

I thought Trump was going to bomb the hell out of hurricanes, is that not his thing anymore? Can a strong smart man like him not control the weather? Really not? How dare mother nature defy him!

With a little carefully crafted rhetoric, it's possible to get Trumpers to blame Christians and their "god" for dissing Trump and America and HOW DARE THEY.

Yeah. I thought it odd re the DC 4th of July. Because China do seed clouds and all that for big events. When the Olympics opened and people said " Oh blue sky", the Chinese said "of course". They shut down factories and construction for weeks before to keep dust down, and they seed cloud to clean the air/ empty the clouds of moisture elsewhere.

I recall something about neighbouring countries complain, because China "steal" their rain clouds ?

Bet my house that Trump wouldn't know what the offside rule is.

AcrossthePond55 · 06/07/2026 16:55

So CNN reporting that Belgium are appealing the ruling. If FIFA 'big cheese' Infantino reversed the ruling, who will make the appeal ruling? And FWIW, who has the ability to fire Infantino?

"I didn't know what the hell a red card was"

lol. So my assertion that I know more about football than Scrotus does is hereby now irrefutable fact. Not that it was in much doubt, right?. I do know what a red card is! (I consider the fact that I know this due to Rugby to be irrelevant)

I had this explained to me once by a university 'soccer' player friend of DS2's. In excruciating detail and with diagrams on a cocktail napkin. I still don't understand it. Alcohol may have been a factor, but I doubt it.

It used to be very much a marker of British blokiness. Thankfully the 90s ladette culture seemed to put an end to that.

My sympathies. It's certainly more complicated with the introduction of VAR and the fact that the lines person doesn't put the offside flag up straight away.

I know little about US football. A strange world to me.

Frankly, there are things about US football that I don't understand myself. But then I'm a baseball fan so a rudimentary understanding of US football is all I really need.

I know nothing of soccer. Is this correct or has someone just made it up to add fuel to the anti-Trump fire?

DuncinToffee · 06/07/2026 20:12

I think that could be true, I read similar in a post

FIFA's own rules state that an association should remain independent and free of outside influence from governments.
An infrigement means both the team and its association will be suspended. The U.S side should therefore be immediately thrown out of the coompetion.

placemats · 06/07/2026 20:25

Isn't Belgium getting legal advice on this?

placemats · 06/07/2026 20:26

Anyway it's a bit late. Shitty behaviour from FIFA

BruceAndNosh · 06/07/2026 20:50

If the US team have any integrity, they will bench Balogun or substitute him after 5 minutes.
Or the referee should book him for "looking at me the wrong way"
