Americans still don't get it.
This isn't about winning or losing, it's about the integrity of the game.

Belgians, like Europeans in general, genuinely love and respect football.
You've tainted the sport with cheating and political interference.

You've dishonored football.

This was Javier Bardem at the Spain vs. Austria game. The man never misses a chance to speak up for Palestine 🇵🇸

وانا اقول ليش فيتنام مافيها فيلة ونمور زي تايلاند والهند رغم انها جنبهم طلع السبب .. ان امريكا رشت الغابات عندهم بمركب اسمه العامل البرتقالي فيه مادة سامة اسمها الديوكسين ، المركب قضى ع الحيوانات والنباتات والانسان وتسبب بتشوهات خلقية وسرطانات لازالت تربة فيتنام تعاني منها لليوم

[relo @shawnvsflair]

still laughing at those leftists who turned into MAGA supporters for a day by aligning themselves with trump’s interference just for the USMNT to get their pants pulled down on the world’s biggest stage

4-1 after rigging the game is absolutely dark. At least Canada and Mexico went out with some dignity lmaooooooooo

[the thicc husband & father @lukeisamazing]

haven’t seen America this thoroughly embarrassed on the world stage since we lost that war we started with Iran like 3 weeks ago

[em @canxawfc]

has anyone seen a good defender i hear the americans are looking 4-1

[Gabe @esc_gabe]

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

[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.

[Adam @AdamFulwell_]

This banner is nearly a decade old, and keeps getting more relevant with every year.

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

Recently, FIFA suspended Nepal’s football federation over government interference. Several federations have faced sanctions for the same reason.

Now we learn the White House made a direct call to FIFA asking Infantino to review Balogun’s red card.

FIFA insists the decision was handled by an independent disciplinary panel and could not be influenced externally.

But how is a direct call from a government to FIFA over a player’s suspension not, at the very least, political interference?

[Erik Thurman is illustrating for a better future @ErikThurman]

I don't mean this as some sort of gotcha for the OP, but really the entire World Cup should have been boycotted the moment the US prevented the Irani team from remaining in the country after every day. We are here precisely because no action was taken there.

[LolaElise @LoEl81]

If we’re honest, we should’ve known where this World Cup was heading a long time ago.

The FIFA Peace Prize
The ridiculous Group Stage Draw
The banning of the Somali referee

FIFA lost control of this World Cup the moment they made the USA hosts.

[soph🇳🇴 @pwdrianti]

this is something that just never leaves me they full on murdered 11 million people in west asia from 2000 and never paid a single consequence for it they spread propaganda instead. 11 million people.. can’t even comprehend that

Let me be VERY clear for those of you in the back. If bringing down the largest child sex trafficking ring in our known history will "collapse the government as we know it," then the government as we know it needs to collapse.

[Rakesh Kumar @Rakeshhkumaar]

If socialist countries had committed this crime, every classroom in the capitalist world would be teaching it for generations.

[Mary @MaryGlazersOut]

You get married in an arena & shut down half a city on a holiday weekend. You have a Zionist freak marry you. You invite abusers, MAGA’s, the fella who runs the ICE detention centre, a bunch of zios & you walk down the aisle to your own songs.

You could never make me like her!

[Dino Patti Djalal @dinopattidjalal]

Dengan hormat, saya sungguh heran kenapa Pemerintah 🇮🇩 tidak memenuhi undangan Iran utk mengirim delegasi resmi ke pemakaman almarhum Ayatollah Khamenei yg terbunuh dlm serangan militer ilegal.

Yg saya dengar, berbagai upaya gigih Iran utk mengundang Pemerintah 🇮🇩 tidak mendapat tanggapan. (Mereka kan juga punya harga diri - tidak mungkin mengemis-emis kehadiran kita.) Akhirnya, yg hadir hanya Dubes RI di Teheran - yg dianggap oleh Teheran sbg sikap menyepelekan undangan ini, bahkan dianggap sbg tamparan. Sementara Arab Saudi, Qatar, Turki, Oman, Kazakhtan, Mesir, Pakistan, Rusia, Tiongkok, India, Malaysia, Bangladesh dll (lihat daftar dibawah) sama sekali tidak ragu mengirim delegasi resmi pada tingkat Menteri, bahkan Pakistan pada tingkat Presiden. 🇮🇩 sbg negara berpenduduk muslim terbesar di dunia satu-satunya yg ABSEN mengirim delegasi.  Bahkan Malaysia nampak lebih bebas aktif dari Indonesia.

Apakah ini berarti polugri "bebas aktif" kita mulai LUNTUR krn 🇮🇩 takut/sungkan thdp Amerika ? Has “FEAR” become a factor in Indonesian foreign policy ? Ataukah kekhilafan ini lebih mencerminkan MANAJEMEN sistem politik luar negeri yang penuh masalah - sebagaimana biasanya, surat undangan macet di berbagai meja dan tidak ada yg berani mengambil keputusan. Paling tidak 🇮🇩 bisa mengirim Wamenlu urusan dunia Islam Anis Matta - tapi beliau justru keliling Asia Tengah utk kunjungan yg sifatnya rutin. 

Kita seakan melupakan bhw Iran adalah sahabat lama Indonesia, hubungan selalu terjaga dgn hangat dan saling menghormati, dan tidak pernah ada konflik antara kedua negara. Kehadiran delegasi resmi 🇮🇩 dlm acara penghormatan terakhir Ayatollah Khamenei (yg sayangnya tidak terjadi) seharusnya menjadi momen pembuktian diplomasi bebas aktif Indonesia, momen persahabatan RI-Iran sekaligus sinyal tegas dari Jakarta bhw adalah aksi pembunuhan Ayatollah Khamenei adalah aksi ilegal yg melanggar hukum dan norma internasional.

Jangan sampai kita selalu lantang bicara bebas aktif, tapi begitu diminta menentukan sikap dlm situasi yg sensitif, kita bersembunyi.
Please remember : bebas aktif adalah #diplomasiberprinsip, bukan #diplomasisungkan
