@Scarletkoito333 I do think Trump is a complete racist, but mostly a malignant narcissist at core, and he can't tolerate any accomplished men. Obama is probably the most accomplished overall person in the world, and OH Trump can't stand it.
@MosiniElisa The majority of Americans are not dishonorable. The despicable prez however IS. We apologize and congratulate Belgium. They did deserve to win.
Bei aller Liebe, aber diese WM ist doch zu Ende. In dem Moment, wo ein Staatschef auf den ausführenden Verband eines Turniers einwirkt, um rote Karten rückgängig zu machen, ist das Spiel doch einfach im Eimer. Trump zerstört alles, was er berührt …
Dat de FIFA corrupt is en Trump een volslagen idioot, wisten we al. Maar dat de mondiale voetbalbond zich nu na één telefoontje gedraagt als een schoothondje van het Witte Huis, is een nieuw dieptepunt. https://t.co/6juRYVaII0
@TouchlineX Balogun should be the HERO by honoring the sport. A bad call or not, the athlete follows the rules. The prez thinks he is above rules. And the organization is corrupted now by him. Balogun has an opportunity to show what a REAL hero/athlete is. HONORABLE.
@MadelaineLucyH Well said. Total cringe. But Trump never was an athlete because he could never NOT cheat, so he has no concept of the honor of sports. It would be nice if our team retained its honor and refused to play under the cheated circumstances.
Trump shows once again: corruption stops at nothing—not even football.
US star Balogun receives a clear red card—Trump simply calls FIFA boss Infantino, and suddenly the suspension is gone. The player is allowed to take the field in the Round of 16 match against Belgium.
Fair play? Nowhere to be found.
In Trump’s world, it’s all about power, corruption, lies, and blackmail—and FIFA’s own rulebook gets bent to suit that agenda.
I am hoping the athlete will be honorable and refuse to play. That is heroism. Florian Balogun would do the world good and would be in the history books!
@drhossamsamy65 Perhaps the athlete will stand honorably and refuse to play. It would be an example of heroism in the world now rotting with Trump in it.
@DougWahl1 It will ever be corrupt, win or no win unless Folarin Balogun refuses to play. Sports are to be true to the rules. Honorable athlete should be his goal. Trump is corrupt through and through and will taint him forever unless he HONORS the sport.
@mjfree How long is it going to be before we clean up this corruption? It is so deep and wide now. Let us hope that the Trump name will soon become synonym for an evil egomaniacal liar and cheater.
When the president gets away with raping kids, stealing thousands of classified documents, and mounting a deadly coup attempt, but an Olympian gets brought up on federal charges for pulling paint chips out of a pool, you’ve got yourself a shithole country.
