Did the US win many fans during this tournament? No. Did they do the moral thing and denounce Trump’s role in the Balogun saga? No. But did they at least exit the World Cup without embarrassing themselves further? Also no #FIFAWorldCup
The current World Cup fiasco is example #1569 of why I hate the euphemism “Trump’s America” as though Americans by and large don’t have this weird chauvinistic and entitled attitude towards everything.
Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.
To be clear: Whether it is or isn’t a red to Balogun is now irrelevant. Government interference is a violation of FIFA Article 2 & 15, and the punishment is disqualification and suspension. Nepal was suspended.
This is an admission of the violation.
the nonchalant/ironic embrace/supportive reaction to FIFA bending for the USMNT from even NY “libs” helps underscore how much more of the country can be trumpy than it’s willing to admit. corruption? par for the course so who cares? even funny/great—especially if you’re winning
🚨 Russia is taking Ukrainian teens from occupied Lysychansk and Rubizhne to Yelabuga — without their parents.
❗️They are allowed to see their families only once a year.
Russians hit a residential area in Sumy with an aerial bomb, killing 4 people, including a child, and injuring 22, including 3 children. At the epicentre of the blast were an apartment building and a shop. Another Russian war crime.
Finished another campaign in EUV as Byz playing until the 1800s, and while I love the game, damn it if there aren’t so many small QOL, and even bigger, issues in the game that just grate on you over a long campaign and make you want to quit
Russian streamer living in the US celebrates as he watches Kyiv get bombed by the Russians.
@Twitch is a disgusting platform run by the equally disgusting @djclancy999 who loves hosting anti-western terrorist propaganda like this.
