what makes this satisfying is not just that the USA lost this match having cheated. it’s that they lost it in a humiliating, degrading fashion. never has a country’s ego more deserved a boot in the face

[PaulShilly @shillcock_paul]

Two observations from the World Cup;

Fifa should be disbanded

USA should never be allowed to host it again

[Conn @ConnCFC]

They really gave this man two golden generations to waste.

First Belgium, now Portugal.

[Kara @UTDKarra]

Repost if you think Gianni Infantino is the worst FIFA president ever.

[Slazac 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇹🇼🌐 @TrueSlazac]

Getting dogwalked by a washed Belgium after getting the president to rig the game, maybe the most embarrassing performance of this tournament

[Daniel Austin @_Dan_Austin]

Over the years, FIFA has suspended the likes of Nigeria, Kuwait, Indonesia, Pakistan, Congo, Sierra Leone, and Guatemala over government interference in football.

But the US president ringing up to get an on-field decision overturned?

Absolutely fine. Nothing to see here.

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

Sorry, this should disqualify the US from the tournament.

[Rachel Kryshak @RachelKryshak]

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.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

No, it’s because you’re cheating.

[Aysha Ridzuan @ayshardzn]

Sorry did I just read that Trump reached out to Infantino to review Bolagun’s red card and now he will play against Belgium? Belgium should be absolutely furious. No everyone else should be. Disgrace.

[Javier Maza @MazaComm]

1) Le sacan tarjeta roja al mejor jugador de la selección USA.
2) La Casa Blanca llama a la FIFA.
3) La FIFA retira la tarjeta roja y el jugador queda habilitado para el partido con Bélgica.
4) Trump saca un “tuit” agradeciendo a la FIFA por “hacer justicia”.
Gracias Trump y gracias FIFA por arruinar el principio de igualdad de competencia del Mundial de fútbol.

[Daniel Austin @_Dan_Austin]

Just to be clear, then. FIFA:

1) can't possibly intervene when Iran are forced to move, a referee is denied a visa, or fans are barred from the USA

2) can absolutely intervene when a decision goes against the USA that Donald Trump doesn't like

Smashing. All know where we stand

[Bosnian Football @BosniaNTBall]

Just end the torunament now. This is disgraceful! #FIFAWorldCup

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Some of us warned that this was the goal in October 2023 but we were told it was about the hostages. It was never about the hostages. It was always about conquest and ethnic cleansing.

[James Li @5149jamesli]

When do we start calling this a holocaust?

[UNCS @Nazteeee196]

Gordon got 2 assists and Kane scored 2 goals.

Arsenal fans:

[Crazy Moments @Crazymoments01]

I'm seriously going to die laughing at Haaland.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

“Unluckiest” is a weird way to say deliberately targeted and mistreated by the host country with FIFA’s consent.

[iza @izamamaa]

How does a lonely penguin or rejected monkey break the internet, while a starving baby in Gaza barely gets noticed? No child deserves to starve or be killed.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

You are not the victims.
