The global media lies and distorts stuff about the USA all the time.

Look at how many people visiting the country say how they've been lied to by the media and love it here.

Funny how many people are so upset about this.

https://grokipedia.com/page/mike_hartenstine That first hit was delivered by a local guy way back when. Guy was a super athlete in track and field and football.

Trump decided the Red card was unwarranted so he made a phone call & had the decision changed to his satisfaction
it clearly was a Red card

99% of the world thought the call was wrong

He has no business getting involved. FIFA should have told him to fuck off.

I agree he shouldn’t have inserted himself in this

Mr Trump must have been converted to the cause of birthright citizenship for shithole country people

Trump just asked them to review it and they did.
Was a clear yellow card so now the decision is fixed, good.

Trump to the rescue of FIFA as an organization.

"All I did was ask for a review because I didn't think it was a foul... When they take your best player... and they say you can't play, that's very unfair."

I don't think it's a good look for us but I don't really care much about soccer. I'm sure it is as fixed as the NFL and NBA and this just adds to my suspicions.

Another leg break on a QB happened last night when Bo Levi Mitchell from the Hamilton Tiger Cats (CFL) had his leg snapped. It took like 20 minutes to get the game started back up.

I’m watching a few minutes of the USA versus Belgium game. I can’t believe this is an actual sport.

Players flopping on the ground like they are dying. It seems like every minute or two someone is falling on the ground pretending to be in agonizing pain. Absolutely ridiculous.

It can obviously be pretty rough to watch soccer, but I do watch the WC.

The off sides rule is pretty pathetic as they currently have it.

The players look too tired out there too. If they had shifts like hockey it would be more entertaining.

I think they also need to institute some sort of power play system like hockey too.

Lastly it would be nice if the game could progress down the field better. Rules to try and move the ball forward more quickly. Basketball times you to pass half court and going backwards past the line is a back court violation.. because it’s boring to see people just stall like soccer.

If USA loses, I plan to riot.

USA losing makes a lot of liberals happy

At the least, I can stop pretending to care about this gay sport.

I actually got into it a bit. I had to learn about a lot of the rules from my wife but being a former S&C coach I’m amazed at the speed and CRAZY conditioning of these guys.

I got into it too. Being a NY fan in Boston, it was fun to root for a team in a bar when we're all on the same page.

Sport is still gay though, the flopping is even worse than advertised.

This isn't a distortion. No world leader has done this during a World Cup. If some other country's leader did this on their home turf American soccer fans would be pissed.

This is 100% correct.

Trumps interference likely rallied Belgium and cost the US.
