@MattLeinartQB the problem i think is that lots of Americans need to be the biggest and bestest most special boys at everything in the whole world all the time

And so, inevitably, we arrive at the USAians. Their goalscorer got a red card. A ban. A game in the stands. The rules every nation on Earth accepts. You foul, you sit, you come back. Simple.

Now, the Americans insist it was never a red card at all. And who knows, maybe it wasn’t. Even if the opponent’s leg looked like it might snap in half, referees get things wrong all the time. That is football. We love it and hate it for precisely this reason. But here’s the thing everyone else on the planet understands: a red card means a suspension even when the referee is wrong. Even when VAR is wrong. You can rage about the decision all you like, but the consequence stands. It always stands. That is the entire deal.

Think of it this way. A defender hacks someone down in the box, the whistle goes, penalty. Maybe it was soft. Maybe it was a dive. Doesn’t matter. The other team takes the penalty. What does not happen, what has never happened in the history of the sport, is a president ringing FIFA afterwards and having the goal quietly removed because his team didn’t fancy the outcome. The decision on the pitch is the decision. Full stop.

Except America’s response was to have the President of the United States, the actual man with the nuclear codes, telephone FIFA. FIFA, the most gloriously bent organisation in world sport, an outfit so crooked it makes a corkscrew look principled. And lo, the ban evaporated, the rulebook was rewritten, and Balogun trotted back onto the pitch as if nothing had happened.

Belgium complained. Obviously. And the American answer? A lecture. “We don’t understand the whining. We Americans always want to beat the best team. That’s when victory feels earned. Anything less is loser mentality.”

What a load of drivel. Belgium wants exactly the same thing. They want to beat the best American team. Nobody in Brussels is hiding under the bed because one striker is good at football. That was never the complaint.
The complaint is that this is cheating. Plain, old-fashioned, unambiguous cheating. Getting your head of state to lean on a governing body until an ordinary suspension disappears.

And everyone knows what we say about cheaters. Nothing they win counts. Ever again. Every goal from here carries an asterisk the size of Texas. If they lift the trophy, the entire planet will know how it was done, and nobody, not one single soul outside their own borders, will ever accept that this team won anything. What they’ll see instead is a squad of snivelling, cowardly, crying children who screamed until daddy fixed it.

There is no honour in this. None. A tournament that began so well for them now ends the only way it can: as a permanent embarrassment for American football. Forever.

And the tough-guy speech about always wanting to face the best? LOL. Embarrassing as well.
If they win now, they’ll never admit how. And honestly, they’ll never need to. The whole world already knows.

@BarstoolBigCat Americans being the softest boys in the world going to get their daddy to change the rules for their benefit. pathetic

[Aaron @Aaroninhere]

@stoolpresidente wanting to beat the best when talking about Balogun is crazy 😂

@jjones57692859 @KingKC_916 you do know Bosnians are Muslims right ?

[Aaron @Aaroninhere]

@alsaldich @usmntonly having a top 1% is a consequence of capitalism unfortunately but yes for another day

[Aaron @Aaroninhere]

@alsaldich @usmntonly American business behaviours are very protectionist when it comes to the top 1%

[Aaron @Aaroninhere]

@alsaldich @usmntonly but salary caps, drafts and no relegation serve the purpose of protecting the owners group . The players and quality of the outcomes is a secondary consideration

[Aaron @Aaroninhere]

@alsaldich @usmntonly I think American sports are much more capitalist than you think. the focus is to protect the owners of the clubs and to build a protective wall around their franchises leading to no relegation. capitalism does not necessarily equal a meritocracy

[Aaron @Aaroninhere]

@islaysmind why do you ask?

[Aaron @Aaroninhere]

@davidfrum I think the core problem is murdering children

[Aaron @Aaroninhere]

@Scott076973722 @nonregemesse its not the same thing though

[Aaron @Aaroninhere]

@markhumphrys @elikowaz luckily nobody gives a shit what you think

[Aaron @Aaroninhere]

@BenGreenJeru @user374895 2 degrees to confirm things you already believe sounds like an exercise in bias confirmation

[Aaron @Aaroninhere]
