I’ll make a small prediction.

If Balogun doesn’t play, the U.S. will win. Good teams are noted for picking up the slack when a star can’t play.

If Balogun plays, they will lose. Belgium will step up. No one likes a cheat (except other cheaters).


Yep, easy call.

Belgium 4, U.S. 1.

A game the U.S. would have won had Trump kept his fat ass out of it.

Trump makes everything worse...

'Overturn this' - Belgium taunt US and say Trump move fired them up.

"The US World Cup team went down to its worst defeat since the 1990s after opponents Belgium said they were fired up by a 'sense of injustice' following Trump’s interference in the game."

"After the fourth goal, Belgium posted on social media 'Overturn this'."

"There was a sense of injustice within the squad, and we were determined to respond on the field." Belgium captain Youri Tielemans insisted the affair had boosted his side.
"We told ourselves we had to respond on the pitch. That's what we did," he said.

"After Belgium scored their fourth goal several of their players were pictured dancing in a style similar to the 'Trump dance' - where he rocks his hips and slowly pumps his arms,
which gained notoriety during the 2024 US presidential campaign."

having former career ties to both countries, i was neutral and just wanted to see a competitive game.
this was not that.

USA was in a tough spot.
they also dream of this their whole lives and want to win. many of them probably know both FIFA and trump are permanently corrupt.

and if USA turned down the redcard reversal, trump would have clearly made them scapegoat LOSERS.
trump can still use the loss to demonstrate how birthright citizenship is undeserved...when combined with a few other redmeat criteria.
but maybe the country gets a break and he can go back to cheating at golf to fulfill his sports quota.
