As we have well documented, predictable - ETTD!

Sorry.

[O Really]

Better the loss than a permanently Trump tainted tarnished win

[GoCubsGo]

Yeah, kind of fitting.

Yeah, kind of fitting.

I don't think any player intentionally threw the match, but might the fiasco have subconsciously impacted some negatively?

Yeah, they definitely weren't right.

The moment, compounded by DonOld was too big for them.

BTW, Belgium noticed.

Also, DonOld is 0 for live sports.

[GoCubsGo]

Let the good times roll.

They're too horizontal, though. Moron Don does it like he's jerking off two at a time . . . and is really into it.



Fwiw, apparent intent is a part of futbol calls, but it's not everything like the Ignoramus in Chief thinks. A foul can be because it's inherently dangerous, regardless of intent.

Great minds . . . They dissed Belgium and called DonOLD's dance style a "sausage party" on Corden.

Megan Rapinoe Explains Why U.S. Women’s Team Was Better Prepared For Trump Drama
"I'm just bummed for them and bummed for us."

Former U.S. women’s national team star Megan Rapinoe explained on Thursday how the “circus” surrounding the men’s World Cup team after Donald Trump’s intervention with FIFA may have contributed to its crushing 4-1 round of 16 defeat to Belgium.

On her podcast, “A Touch More: The Beautiful Game,” Rapinoe said the controversy over Folarin Balogun’s red-card suspension — which FIFA later rescinded after the president controversially pushed for a review — created unnecessary distractions at a time when the team should have been focused solely on soccer....

Belgian Prime Minister Appears To Slip In A Trump World Cup Zinger During NATO Meeting
Bart De Wever talked about a “red card.”

... While discussing NATO’s forthcoming $80 billion military aid package for Ukraine, De Wever spoke of the message it would send to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who launched Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Trump was seated at the same table.

“This is also a very strong ‘red card’ to Putin,” De Wever said, according to The Associated Press.

Then he added: “You can’t just take back a red card. You know that.” ...

Love it. I tried trash talking a German crewmate in 2002. She did not appreciate it at all.
