Did Team USA ask Trump for this? Or did he just do it? It was a horrible look. I wanted so bad to support our team, but Trump ruined it, like he's ruined everything else
Yeah, I actually went to the red card match, bought a USA soccer shirt, was super into the world cup. When Trump pulled his bullshit, I actually bet and rooted against the US. Man is the antimidas. Everything he touches turns to shit.
So FIFA supporting literal slavery and it's decades of overt corruption was fine for you to go spend a much of money on tickets and merchandise, enabling and supporting said slavery and corruption...
But trump is a whiny little bitch (when isn't he?) and now things have gone too far for you.
From what I have found Trump seems to have done it on his own. Balogun had accepted his red card about as gracefully as anyone, even shaking hands with the ref after the match. And the US team had said they would not challenge the call. It looks like everyone was going to just get on with life and move forward.
it does not matter, he did it and tarnished the USA team… if the team did not play the carded player they could have saved face but they chose to play him fully
Agreed… I was cheering for them for being the host and underdogs, but tonight I was happy to see them defeated with ease
