Bazinga! If y’all haven’t already read Mary L. Trump’s book, “Too Much and Never Enough!” READ it now to learn the backstory…… Mary also has a new book (I haven’t read that one yet.), “Mary Trump’s Trump.”
Belgium has filed their grievances with fifa about the whole situation and, while the card should have been reversed, it should have gone through the appropriate channels. Fucking dump and fucking infant. 😡
Balogun's reversed red card should be addressed by the coach of the USMNT by not playing him against Belgium. It would solidify the integrity of the game and, in a larger sense, the US.
Trump has a talent for turning things that have nothing to do with him into another political circus. That’s a pretty incredible level of unnecessary chaos to bring wherever you go. He simply can’t tolerate accountability or the basic rules of fair play. What was he even thinking?
I feel so bad for the stain Trump has put in the USMNT. He has undermined the legitimacy of the team. Now any U.S. win will be tainted by his corruption. He cheats at everything: golf, finances, fundraising, politics, and now soccer...
This World Cup is tainted forever by Trump. I hope the players refuse to associate with him no matter what!
Here's my favorite t-shirt, It says: "Don't blame me, I voted for her, twice!" 👇
I held my nose and purchased access to Fox One to watch the games, and absolutely loved the game against B&H. Real excitement. Real joy. Almost made me forget the shame I feel at being an American today.
Tonight, I turned on the game for 5 minutes and . . . I could not care less who wins. I won't root against the US players, but I can't root for a team that cheats. And that's what this is.
Fifteen minutes before reading this comment, I said to my wife that the coach should not play Balogun. So Heather.B, you nailed it. If the US lost, well so be it. If they won, then they won fair and sqaure. Now, if they win --- indeed, if they go all the way --- the team and the win will forever be marked with an asterisk.
Everyday, in every way, we make choices about whether to play by the rules, or to find ways to avoid them. And most the time, we can justify cheating: everyone does it; no one will know; no one will suffer; corporations deserve it; taxes are too high; etc., etc., etc.
Trump has caused countless -- millions upon millions of -- Americans to believe that cheating is OK, lying is OK, hate is OK. The coach had a chance to show these people, and the world, that America still stands for good. He decided not to do so, putting winning ahead of everything else. That's too bad. But I'm canceling my subscription.
Interfering in a World Cup event is the very height of crass, inappropriate behaviour. I can think of no reason why the president of the United States would get involved he must have absolutely nothing else to do.
His mom fell extremely ill when t was just a wee child….. he was left to a nanny and his sociopathic dad. Mary Trump’s book describes his horrible childhood. All that said, it is NOT an excuse for how the adult behaves. He is very sick man, the worst possible kind of person to put in his position. And here we are.
I have often said to my associates that we shouldn’t be blaming the individual nominally in-charge. He has been aided and batted by a cabal of grifters and conmen who are riding his coattails and Malik’s thermals wealthy.
Threatened!? Tainted!? Every single football association left in the tournament should have refused to continue and caused a catastrophic problem for infantino and FIFA. The 2026 World
Cup will be remembered for the stench it left on the “beautiful game.”
Infantino...the soccer gift that keeps on giving to the 🍊💩. Now the referees won't want to give any USA player a red card for the rest of the games. Everything Trump touches turns to 💩. GOOD LUCK BELGIUM!!! GIVE THEM HELL!!! 👍
Between the grease-stained back alleys of global politics and the sacred, sweat-soaked grass of the World Cup pitch, Donald Trump apparently decided the rules are optional. It’s like a garnish you flick off the plate when it doesn’t suit your mood. The idea that Donald Trump would wade into the theater of international football and suggest a red card be erased is the kind of absurdity that would get you laughed out of a third-rate dive bar in Naples. Red cards, much like gravity and hangovers, are non-negotiable. You earn them, you suffer through them, and the world moves on. But here we are, watching a man who has spent a lifetime bending reality like overcooked pasta now trying to rewrite the laws of the game mid-match, as if FIFA were just another contractor he could bribe or stiff.
And then, because subtlety has never been on the menu, we get the comparison to Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss. If the U.S. team loses, well, naturally, it must be rigged. Not outplayed, not outmaneuvered, not undone by the cruel poetry of sport….but rigged. It’s the same tired dish reheated and served with extra grievance, a worldview where losing is never an option, only a conspiracy. The World Cup, that chaotic, glorious collision of cultures and skill, reduced to a stage for ego and delusion. It’s almost impressive in its brazenness, like insisting your burnt steak is medium-rare and daring anyone to argue. But the rest of the world isn’t buying it. They’re too busy playing the game as it’s meant to be played…hard, fair, and with the understanding that sometimes, you lose.
They have tainted the US team if they go forward now. Even if the red card was unwarranted, it should not have been removed. The US team could take that taint off if they sit the player anyway but I can't see that happening. As a Canadian I'll be cheering for Belgium tonight as I'm sure many around the world be. You are totally correct Brian, I've been loving the World Cup games with teams and fans from other countries mingling with Americans and each other bringing joy and laughter back to the US.
Trump destroys everything he touches. Now, if the U.S. wins, it will be illegitimate! The only way to be fair is to voluntarily sideline our player in the game against Belgium. Trump is such a despicable jerk.
Fact is HE (the player) did not cheat but.... a call is a call and it should have stayed. It's the fucking president that cheated!! Yes, the entire team should man up and not accept the reversal.
It’s not up to the players to decide the rules. Not even the coaches. It’s infantino who denied Belgium’s appeal. News media don’t tell you the whole story. Trump threatened with pulling America out of the FIFA games if infantino didn’t cave.
The world cup is one of my biggest joys—and this piece of absolute garbarge has destroyed it, along with any goodwill left with the rest of the football playing world. I am mortified and enraged. But then again, I guess that just means it’s another day living in the USA.
Why can’t this trouble making dickhead just leave everything and everyone alone? 🙄🤬
He’s incapable of doing that! 🤬
My mother always told me to keep my hands to myself and if I can’t do that then I had to sit on my hands! 😊
I learned that, too!
Bazinga! If y’all haven’t already read Mary L. Trump’s book, “Too Much and Never Enough!” READ it now to learn the backstory…… Mary also has a new book (I haven’t read that one yet.), “Mary Trump’s Trump.”
because he has too many resources at his fingertips and he is an expert at the abuse of power
Belgium has filed their grievances with fifa about the whole situation and, while the card should have been reversed, it should have gone through the appropriate channels. Fucking dump and fucking infant. 😡
Yup! You nailed it!

100% on the coach not playing him! I thought that the minute I heard about the call. The orange dickhead simply cannot leave well enough alone.
I held my nose and purchased access to Fox One to watch the games, and absolutely loved the game against B&H. Real excitement. Real joy. Almost made me forget the shame I feel at being an American today.

The coach was helpless the FIFA boss overruled him after the trump call.
Belgiums appeal was denied by the FIFA corrupt president
The heroic thing for the American team to do is not take the favor Bribe! Not every team has a sugar Daddy. Show your better than that UsA
Good luck with that. Yanks think it’s always about them, they won’t take a stand, they’ll just accept the cheat. I hope they lose.
No matter how much Trash tries to dress up, it's still TRASH and smells like TRASH.

Blame mama dumpy for never giving him any love and attention while he was a child, granted he has always been an unlovable subhuman since he was born.

Trump is disgusting! He wouldn't know a soccer ball from snow ball.
He continues to lower our esteem around the world.
He didn’t understand what a Red Card meant Dippy Don 🤦♀️absolute disgrace!!
So disappointing. Im embarrassed for our country. He ruins integrity on everything!!
He is deplorable. He is unremittingly disgusting. He has tainted FIFA with a stench.
And again shown the world that the only way the US can win is to cheat.
Bingo
Dittos
Yep, the stench of his soiled adult diaper. Baron von Schitzenpants.
💩 💩💩💩🤥🤢🤮

Belgium’s appeal was denied by Infantino. Corrupt people stick together

Trump is joy killer. First 250 celebrations. Now the World Cup..
Way to taint any win or loss for all players
They have tainted the US team if they go forward now. Even if the red card was unwarranted, it should not have been removed. The US team could take that taint off if they sit the player anyway but I can't see that happening. As a Canadian I'll be cheering for Belgium tonight as I'm sure many around the world be.

The fucking player should man up and not accept the reversal. Do the yanks ALWAYS HAVE TO CHEAT?
Fact is HE (the player) did not cheat but.... a call is a call and it should have stayed. It's the fucking president that cheated!! Yes, the entire team should man up and not accept the reversal.
My comment stands, the player should have refused the reversal.
I agree.
It’s not up to the players to decide the rules. Not even the coaches. It’s infantino who denied Belgium’s appeal. News media don’t tell you the whole story. Trump threatened with pulling America out of the FIFA games if infantino didn’t cave.
Please don't paint Americans all with the same brush, especially this one!
The world cup is one of my biggest joys—and this piece of absolute garbarge has destroyed it, along with any goodwill left with the rest of the football playing world. I am mortified and enraged. But then again, I guess that just means it’s another day living in the USA.
