Yeah. I don’t know how Trump will recover. The World Cup in the USA has made billions, and it isn’t even in the top 5 of Americans favorite sports and we got as far as Brazil and Portugal.
Truth is that if the USA took soccer seriously and funded it properly, it would dominate that sport as well.
Congrats to Belgium for crushing the US team. They folded like a cheap suit. And yes, we talked a big game, so I expect the jokes to continue.
What Europe doesn’t understand is that half the country doesn’t even know there was a game last night, and the half that was rooting for the USA has already moved on to baseball and anticipating college/NFL football.
Far from being devastated, Americans just shrugged. It’s not a soul crushing loss like it would be for other nations because we have many other sports.
