Yes. And I am American. I thought the only way to try and recover their honor was by sitting that player out, which they did not.

I view it as “karma’s a bitch”. Talk about unsportsmanlike.

They were always going to lose - the USA dont actually play football, Belgium actually have real players. I mean - its karma as well tho right. Florian should have never played. Its all a farce.

AlgaeDreams · Yesterday 05:13

It was just the red card you see, it wasn't the bigly red card.

Fucking idiot.

That said, this is the first time I've seen an American team play relatively decently. It's all relative.

It’s been hilarious watching the MAGA crowd trying to talk credibly about football, as if they have a clue.

Today will be interesting - what will Trump do now? Will he ring up Belgium and ask for their 4 goals to be revised?

I’m waiting for reports of a phone call from Trump to FIFA, suggesting they rethink the result.
After all, the truth is whatever Donald says it is!

GentleSheep · Yesterday 05:25

Expecting Trump to slap tariffs on Belgium.

PetulaGordeno · Yesterday 05:38

Go Belgium.🇧🇪

Missey85 · Yesterday 05:46

Congratulations Belgium 😊

Natsku · Yesterday 05:51

So happy for Belgium! And really enjoying twitter today with the Americans whinging

It’s just time to move on, otherwise we’re as bad as he is. I feel sorry for American people and fans who don’t support all the ugliness they’ve had put upon them

At least it's further highlighted just what idiots Trump and Infantino are - I'm still laughing with incredulity at that FIFA peace prize 😂
The depths of their ignorance and corruption knows no bounds.

Delighted to wake up to this result

What's with Greenland? I thought they would be very pro- Belgium!

Loulou4022 · Yesterday 07:52

I have never wanted a team to win more! Karma is a bitch!!

Whorulestheroost1 · Yesterday 08:16

Karma is a bitch but also magnificent in this instance. How wonderful they not only got beaten but slaughtered by Belgium...LOL!

BitOutOfPractice · Yesterday 08:20

Aside from England’s win the other night. This is my favourite result of the tournament so far.

BitOutOfPractice · Yesterday 08:21

By the way, has anyone else tried to find the video of the Belgian players mocking Trump’s dance? I have and it says “content unavailable” everywhere.

I think that map will be by Terrible Maps... The Greenland thing is a bit of a running joke

Minasama · Yesterday 08:22

Yes, this was fantastic news to read this morning. Cheating and corruption getting them nowhere.

Minasama · Yesterday 08:23

That headline is brilliant!

I do feel a bit sorry for the US team, they got massively outplayed by a better team and would have anyway, but their fantastic tournament has been tainted by something out of their control. Especially the player who got suspended who is a birthright citizen and probably has views about trump anyway. Hopefully the head of feifa gets sacked and the world survives the rest of trumps term

Agree. It is trump and FIFA who are at fault here, not the individual players.

But I am very glad Belgium won so decisively.
