America isn't really the same place as it has been in the past - not in culture, moral and legal standards, "personality", expectations of leaders, and yada on. "Anti-American" is a reasonable point of view for actual patriots.

Thanks. Plus, overt racism is just one example. The ever-widening wealth gap, the international surveillance state, support for Israeli Apartheid and constant military interventions are others that transcend Moron Don.

Besides, SoupySales, it's just a sports match. Only a rabid dumb American would consider it a legitimate test of pride, patriotism or loyalty.

BTW Vrede, did I miss why you were rooting for Bosnia?

Bullshit red card.

I've seen worse calls. Idk that I would have given a red card, but I don't think that it was outrageous. He's banned from the Belgium game.

Not sure how I feel about that. Is appealing video review too many layers? Oh well, futbol almost never depends on a single player (other than Messi, or the goalie ).

The futbol fans have been grooving on baseball, they've brought good energy to the ballparks.

With such vast distances between WC games it makes more sense to fill schedule gaps with baseball. Oi Oi Oi Australia plays Egypt tonight in this same Texas Rangers stadium.

It's a different skill set, or the starter was injured. 4 goals allowed = FAILURE
