++Sky News++ captured his words, as he explained: “”Yes, I asked for a review by FIFA. I spoke to a man [Infantino] who is highly respected. I’m the one who got them to do it, not Biden. Biden was asleep.”
Well the ownership class of the US is a bunch of Karens. We know this.
And we know FIFA is corrupt AF, even more than the NFL.
What’s vulgar about it now is that it’s done without a lick of subtlety or tact. The corruption is out in the open. They’re doing the Qu’ils mangent de la brioche more plainly and more often than was ever done in France.
( Technical history fact: Marie Antoinette never said it, but the rumor was viciously spread and sped her way to the guillotine. The historic queen was classically trained and actually had tact. The French aristocracy, however, did not.)
“We cheated and still lost” is not the flex you think it is
But did they tell him that balogun not only is black, but got the citizenship by ius soli, two things he hate and wants to remove?
Wtf would Biden have to do with this
Robert Baratheon: What about Aerys Targaryen? What did the Mad King say when you stabbed him in the back? I never asked. Did he call you a traitor? Did he plead for a reprieve?
Jaime Lannister: He said the same thing he’d been saying for hours… Burn them all!
Trump forgot that he’s president and still thinks he’s campaigning against Biden
I’m not sure I believe him.
His references are out of control. I have to admit it’s pretty sweet that da mayor is a proficient footie shitposter.
Lol I bet the commissioner didn’t expect he’d brag about it to the public.
He forgot he ever met Trump before? He ought to get that checked.
“Me no sleep. Except at meetings. Because me SMART!!!”
Man they really want the Wikipedia entry for US Men’s National Team results section to have an asterisk by the number 2026, don’t they
He went and did exactly what he always goes and does: he made the thing about himself.
Conspiracy time.
Because of the 250 years of independence, the final will be rigged to be USA/England and the USA will win controversially.
Then trump will keep the trophy
He already kept the FIFA trophy won by someone else and infantino had to give a copy to the winners https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-fifa-soccer-club-world-cup-trophy_n_68755c06e4b0b1c6f12569ae
Debunked. Thank fucking Christ.
That might actually get people around the world to pressure their leaders to take action against the USA. From what I understand about most of the rest of the world, soccer is taken very seriously.
I’m already suspicious the USA have got as far as they have, yes Norway are ranked two places below, but Haaland is far far better than anyone the US can field. Chances are given the USA would have had plenty of Lantino countries in their qualifying group, they’re only chance of getting into the World Cup was automatic due to hosting it. I don’t know, maybe I’m being to harsh. Still it is utterly unbelievable that FIFA have reversed this.
The host countries are usually setup to get out of their group. US has generally been good enough on their own to get to quarterfinals when they qualify, but that’s when the real tourney begins.
Holy shit. As an American seeing the marketing and advertising for the world cup is sick. It’s so cringy… I feel bad for all the authentic people that love the sport.
I wouldn’t doubt if there’s some business going on with FIFA on large corrupt scale though… American football is losing its pull of American culture… They needed a new sport to help them create submissive people.
It’s about to get soulless like Hollywood and marketed pop music. …and the Americans will froth over it like hungry zombies.
American football is losing popularity and we’re trying to replace it with soccer? lol jesus fucking christ
I appreciate you calling me by my full name.
I thought your last name was Onnapogostik
I heard it was Inthehandholes
And here’s me, loving that our sports are becoming international. The WBC this year was fucking awesome to watch imo, and I think it’s cool that American football is expanding in other parts of the world. We can only imagine what an eventual “World Football Championship” would be like.
I agree it’s cool on the surface… But you know it’s going to lose authenticity exponentially.
That’s why I feel for the people who are genuine about it. It’s a double edged sword that probably won’t care about the genuine people.
It’s like every authentic thing America touches starts to oxidize, and rust.
I don’t agree with that. Imo professional sports lost its authenticity years ago when they started letting advertisers and sponsors dictate the games.
I don’t think the US needs a new sport, most of the country is either brain dead from American Football, Basketball, NASCAR, Baseball. Basically anything the USA has invetend for themselves and every other country couldn’t give a shit about.
Rugby, netball, any motorsport, cricket…turns out different regions like different things, but there are often analogues.
I wouldn’t exactly throw baseball on that list. it’s plenty popular in plenty of countries outside the US.
Yeah most people in the US don’t give a shit about soccer, so I don’t get why you’d bother rigging it or other manipulation. Other than just because you are Trump and you just rug and grift and do shadey shit for no reason other than to do it.
They need to create new reason the human centipede reason to exist! Via the illusion of change and novelty.
You have the right of it otherwise, but one player usually can’t carry a whole team on his own. Not even s phenomenon like Haaland.
Granted, they have a few other good players like Ødegaard too, but that’s still not necessarily enough to beat a well-managed team and Pochettino managed a few of the biggest clubs in the world before taking the US gig.
Still, even if nothing else looks suspicious, the first withdrawn red card since 1962 at the request of the despot in charge of a home country is in itself enough to warrant an asterisk.
I bet it’ll follow this script down to a T, hehe. I’ll show myself out.
Will one of Starmer’s last acts as PM be to try and get Quansah’s red card overturned?
No, because he has some honor.
Never did. He only has ambition. Where was you when he was taking all these gifts?
Nah, just the Neoliberal version of “honor”, which is timidness and excessive politeness, if not less obvious collaboration.
does he ? when did this happen ?
I hate that this doesn’t sound as astoundingly stupid as it should thanks to the current state of affairs.
france will lend a player to the americans, who then goes on to score the winner in extra time.
Statue of Liberty play, right?
Maradona had the hand of god, this will be the boot of liberty, the elbow of freedom or something else utterly wank
At the end of the match, they will reveal the top scorer on french team had gotten honorary citizenship just before, so his goals will count towards usa. Fifa will protest at first, but then taco will call fifa boss again…
Way to ruin the next season of Ted Lasso…
/s
I’m saving this, just in case… maybe you got a career as psychic ahead of you.
The US will be losing and then some French players will help from the sidelines.
And then Canada will come down and set the locker room on fire
Tbh I’ve kind of suspected this might be the outcome.
If the US team managed to win, I would be fucking astounded. The team’s made the top 4 exactly once when they got 3rd place in 1930. 96 whole years without placing. I know the US doesn’t care about the sport much, but still shocked me a bit when I learned that.
God, how fucking stupid would it be if this turns out to happen?
And then everyone will clap
I was thinking the same thing
“it was I who cheated. Doesn’t that make me amazing?”
Doesn’t change a thing /s We did despise the corrupted USA administration already.
Biden was asleep
This is a fucking weird chirp coming from someone constantly falling asleep on camera.
Pretty sure it means he was asleep and someone woke him up to bribe or pressure the official
RENT. FREE.
And, like, how the heck is it Joe Biden’s job to corruptly influence FIFA officials?
Biden derangement syndrome? He’s complaining a past president didn’t do anything for a current event
The projection never ends.
As an American Tottenham fan I am over the moon with how Poch has transformed Team USA and I was so ready to watch them beat Belgium without one of their best players.
Now it just looks stupid, like no one believes they could do it without this one guy. On top of the optics of it now Belgium has an extra reason to fight, it will absolutly light a fire under them. Was it a red card? No, it should have been a yellow but that’s the game. You put the chip on your shoulder and go out there and fuck shit up. Now Belgium has the chip.
Just another example of the whining bitch culture the US has become under trump, the biggest thin skinned bitch of them all.
Norway is on form and are going to give England a great run and France are going to be hard to beat. People have been dogging this WC but honestly its been entertaining. The officiating has been half trash but the games have mostly been lit and the upsets have been great.
It was a red. It was dangerous and could have broken his ankle, even if he didn’t intend it.
Belgium are crap, but would have comfortably beaten USA.
No one believes you can do it without that one guy before this. He’s been carrying you.
They shouldn’t have fucked with the ruling at all, but lmao at “dangerous”
It could only possibly be considered dangerous if you thought he intentionally stepped on Muharemović’s ankle. Straight reds are typically reserved for aggressive plays that are either clearly malicious or willfully reckless.
Balogun was playing the ball without looking where he was stepping - at worst it should have been a yellow. Careless? Definitely. Dangerous? Lmao, I guess taking a reaching step is dangerous now
But thats really not the problem anymore - the league overriding the decision reaks of corruption and does a disservice to everyone involved, including the USA team.
I agree with. I just want to say you’re delusional to think the US could beat Belgium with or without this player.
Edit - I see the Americunts are voting with their feelings again
We will see.
Edit: welp, they looked like shit. Belgium played better than they have all tournament. Belgium came out with the chip square on their shoulder and USA shit the bed. I was wrong, oh well.
That’s not a parody quote, it’s the actual quote in the Article, straight from the Horse’s ass.
Thanks for the clarification, one could think this came from the onion. /jk
