    And u know this how?

    Sprouting about fairness but sees no problem with our president using his powers to influence an international competition to benefit our team.

    If u really cared about fairness, accept the red card like everybody else and play on.

    Credibility and integrity for the game means jack sht if we benefit from it, it seems.

    Hypocrite.

    If a democrat prez did it you would laud them as a Patriotic hero that stepped in to right a clear wrong and protect our American athletes. Don't bulls*** yourself man.

    In your fantasy about everyone being as corrupt and immoral as you are sure.

    In reality there is no truth to that. I’m a diehard Astros fan and while I still think that the Astros would have won the World Series without sign stealing, I was pissed that the coaches were stupid enough to do something that then put an asterisk on their championship.

    What Trump did was insert himself where he didn’t need to and if the US wins, literally the entire world (minus maga cultists) will put an asterisk next to that win.

    Of course maga people don’t care about how they win as long as they win in their little grievance filled world. In your mind if someone is accusing you of wrongdoing you must be “winning.”

    However the rest of us that care about US soccer care about how we win too and the team getting the respect they deserve.

    It’s just really weird how maga weirdos somehow get off on winning the wrong way vs just rolling up their sleeves and proving you deserve to win. You guys are like this with sports and you sure as hell are like this with democracy and elections.

    I put an asterisk next to the 2020 election after all the voter fraud.

    LOL, what a horrible take. 2026 has been the most electric and successful World Cup in history.

    TDS blinds people from reality. Don't fall victim!


    GOOD DAY

    It was a red card which he deserved. Wtf r u rambling about? If any player did that sht to our players, you would have wanted a red card also, fking dangerous.

    My stance is no fking leader should interfere with an international competition.

    Trump should have not did it and not brag about it to the world.


    U r just a hypocrite who is fine with winning at all cost. Wanting fairness my a$$

    Denying entry to the somali referee
    Forcing iran to shuttle back and forth out of the US
    Trump interfering to influence the red card suspension

    Fking disgraceful to the sport, having to bring politics to it.

    If there was a sane president, they'd stay the f*** out of a sporting competition because it's none of their f***ing business.

    Because it's Trump, riiiiight.... Not suspending a player outright and postponing a suspension for a future time is nothing out of the ordinary. The issue here is Trump wants to take credit and wokies cannot have that especially if it's for the good of the U.S.A...
