Trump made the call. FIFA bent the rule. Balogun came back.
And Belgium still sent the hosts home 4-1.
The United States had the home crowd, the flag, the hype, the phone call, and the second chance. Belgium had the pressure, the finish, the Red Devils, and the waffles hot enough to cook the whole back line.
You can bend the rule, but you cannot bend the game.
Cheated and defeated.
Bye bye bye.
Sacred Defense.

Banana republic actions will have to be undone after these guys are done.
US govt institutions used to be a standard for institutional strength & integrity but now it’s more than the laughing stock of the world: it is what threatens world stability with blackmail powered unlimited support for terrorist Israel.
President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”
8 May 2018: “We’re tearing up the deal to get a better one.”
Eight years, two wars, trillions burned, and countless headlines later, diplomacy has finally advanced to: trying to reopen a shipping lane that had been open since the Bronze Age.
Incredible efficiency.
Thank you, the White House—there’s no need for us to make jokes about you anymore, because you’re already busy turning the President into a source of comedy yourselves. 🤣🤣🤣

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
The President and his Administration have already failed twice in court trying to intimidate me, and he's still not letting up. Just more proof that he'll do anything it takes to silence those of us willing to call him out. I'm not backing down — ever.
Ricky Gervais on 60 Minutes Makes a Crystal-Clear Case for Free Speech
He put it perfectly: the great thing about freedom of speech is that I can say what I want, and you can say you're offended, and I get to decide whether I care or not.
Because let's be honest, there's nothing you can say that someone, somewhere won't find offensive.
That's why blasphemy laws are so absurd, they're basically trying to protect an all-powerful deity from having its feelings hurt.
At the end of the day, we should be free to criticise any idea.
Just because you're offended doesn't automatically mean you're right.
Spot on, Ricky. Free speech isn't about never upsetting anyone, it's about the right to speak anyway.
