FIFA World Cup 2026 - discussion etc

Take the shot Balogun!

+4 on the clock.

Subbed with Two Extra Minutes Left, The Haji Wright Story.

Lukaku ragdolls the U.S. central defense. 4-1.

I blame it on Trump.

Ha! Bet you feel pretty silly.

Everything Trump Touches Dies

Tough loss for u.s..

American certainties: Death, taxes, and losing in the round of 16.

At this point Trump will intervene to stop the game before Belgium scores again…

Excuse me. We’ve failed to get out of the group stage plenty of times, thank you very much.

Honestly don’t think Belgium played that well. 2 goals were just handed to them and the other 2 were extraordinarily soft defensively. Worst I’ve felt after a US game since failing to qualify I think.

I just hope we stick with Potecchino.

Hah! Congrats Belgium, mission accomplished!

Frankly I wanted the U.S. to get farther, so they could feel how good it feels, but not after Trump contaminated everything.

I don’t really follo soccer and only watched the games from this past week and even I could tell that Belgium was clearly the superior team. US looked so bad there. Rooting for Norway now, they were awesome in their game.

US have done really well and had some great moments in the tournament. But they didn’t turn up today. Two shots on target in the entire game I think. Sloppy defensive errors costing goals.

No doubt he will claim that Belgium cheated.

I rarely watch soccer, but I enjoyed this game. Really impressive how Belgium controlled the ball. Somebody upthread said something like, “Belgium is playing as a team; the US is playing as individuals,” and that’s how it seemed to me.

Congrats Belgium. Unlike the clowns in the US Men’s Hockey Team, we won’t be seeing team USA in the White House fluffing Trump since he doesn’t like losers.

He definitely got the hang of international managing as he went along, but I don’t know if US Soccer has the kind of scratch that it would take to keep him away from a superclub.
