@LadyALover95 What position were you playing? I just have missed you on the pitch.

[Illini Hoops 25 @Illinihoops94]

@RandPaul No. We dump your ass and every fascist fuck in Congress. That will ensure that AMERICA survives. You POS.

[Illini Hoops 25 @Illinihoops94]

@gerardtbaker Yeah. No international presence in basketball and hockey. 😂😂

[Illini Hoops 25 @Illinihoops94]

@dryan165 Were we arrogant? I’m not sure that’s the case. I don’t think anyone in the US had delusions of grandeur. Please don’t let your US hate cloud the reality. We were enjoying a pretty good team. They lost. See you in 4 years.

[Illini Hoops 25 @Illinihoops94]

@Frid45 Not really. We just don’t care. Most of the time we are refuting your claims that the US sucks at “sports that matter”.

[Illini Hoops 25 @Illinihoops94]

@Peter_Bukowski Lack of US professional women’s leagues in other sports and a lack of women’s sports development in the rest of the world.

[Illini Hoops 25 @Illinihoops94]

@compliantvc Like hockey? Basketball? Cuz currently hold the gold medal in both of those…….

[Illini Hoops 25 @Illinihoops94]

@Suewilson91 Baseball has the ability to judge intent of actions and this would never ever had been in this situation. A pitcher can hit a batter and if it’s not intentional they aren’t suspended.

[Illini Hoops 25 @Illinihoops94]

@Stiff_FC Not really. Funny that you blame all of us for the orange orangutans actions. Either way, the truth of the matter is most of us won’t care again for another 4 years. We really don’t care.

[Illini Hoops 25 @Illinihoops94]

@hubyszn We don’t care. Soccer is not a revenue sport in the US. Our best athletes play other sports because the return is much much higher for them. Not to mention soccer is boring and most Americans don’t want to watch it.

[Illini Hoops 25 @Illinihoops94]

@garethicke Honestly we think the red card was wrong in the first place and justice is served. None of us are happy that his Orangeness got involved, but I think we believe that this is the correct outcome.

[Illini Hoops 25 @Illinihoops94]

@OldMackIsBack Kick ass at hockey. Soccer is a bunch of pansies flopping around on a field grabbing their legs like they got shot, not a sport. What other “international” sports would you like to throw out there.

[Illini Hoops 25 @Illinihoops94]

@Alonso_GD He had position and made incidental contact without intent. See how that’s different from “dude stepped on a player’s ankle”?

[Illini Hoops 25 @Illinihoops94]

Two things can be simultaneously true: 1) Trump shouldn’t have gotten involved. 2) the red card was egregious and shouldn’t have been given in the first place and justice is serviced by its suspension.

[Illini Hoops 25 @Illinihoops94]

@gtconway3d @WalshFreedom This is 1000% true.

[Illini Hoops 25 @Illinihoops94]

@EuroWynner I’m happy saying that now. I was geared up for the WC, but frankly all I’ve seen is a bunch of flopping and pansies rolling around in the turf pretending to be hurt. Also learned abojt a bunch of really stupid rules, like kicking a guy out of the game for incidental contact.

[Illini Hoops 25 @Illinihoops94]

@vnstergranskar1 @lnhrte 🤣🤣🤣I was talking about here, but ok. You’re right! International cycling, Olympics and track and field are so clean! No one in the sports world ever doped but us players. FFS.

[Illini Hoops 25 @Illinihoops94]

@AnnBaptist We don’t. He does ALOT of things we don’t agree with. I think you need to understand that the vast majority of Americans think the red card rule is too putative and that this instance lacked intent. Nothing like this in American sports.

[Illini Hoops 25 @Illinihoops94]

@EdKrassen Would we??? I gotta be honest. I know FIFA is crooked as hell. I would have expected this had the roles been reversed. This is exactly why the US generally could give a shit about international soccer. It’s a bunch of crybabies on and off the field.
