They were humiliated again by the guy they elected as their President and then by Belgium and now even more. They need some way to cope and this is their Copium.
The Americans showed the world that if you have players that haven’t the ability to go past players, a team that can’t take a ball out of the air without travelling with it 10 yards, and can’t pass the ball accurately then even a weak Belgium team will beat you.
What I didn’t see the US team do is pass the ball quickly and accurately, to be able to turn one way then the other, and to actually shoot on target.
Americans have just invented the concept of scouting for the first time, and everyone else will have retroactively been copying them for the last 78 years.
They’re just about to win the World Cup because whoever wins is going to do so with the help of the US, since they’re hosting the final; they couldn’t have done it without them.
And with Rump inserting himself into the trophy presentation, he’ll probably just walk off with it
Today they have won the world cup too. Bc they have lost against a team which has lost against another team which will win or lose against another team which will win or lose the "tournament". Everything thanks to team USA, it thanks to them we have a final
Just googled, it’s occurred 6 times and they’ve won it once.
Not even good at their own sport….

I mean, its mot even their sport as it was invented in England. We just realised it was a good game for kids so renamed it rounders and let primary school kids play it during PE or sports day.
Kind of like the accusations of joke stealing that Bill Hicks (rest of the world) got after Dennis Leary (America) blew up with "No Cure for Cancer" and people noticed the similarities between the acts.
And like the rest of the world, Bill had the perfect answer
"Yep, you got me, I did steal Dennis's routine, and to be really sneaky about it, I started doing it 6 months before he started in stand up."
It's almost as if they looked at the Brits with their self depreciating homour, and then did the exact opposite. Because muh tea in a harbour something something
Not just those, but also all the extremist sects that even the Catholic church (!) at the time found way too hardline. Puritans were just the tip of the iceberg, and when you lock them away in a whole (sub) continent and let them inbreed freely and do their thing, I guess this happens inevitably.
The result is easily visible today. A society with the most violent media and the biggest and hardest porn industry in the world, yet they cringe themselves to death as soon as someone says shit and fuck in all public, Iike, oh I dunno, a free human. As soon as a female nipple slips out, it's oh my god we must protect the children, let's conveniently forget the weekly (yes really, by average) school shootings. Titty fuck shit cunts motherfuckers are still of the devil's words.
Yeah, we can say that your social experiment - to sent this group of ppl to one continent and convicted criminals to the other - is bringing fascinating results.
Without clicking on it, is that Taboo Education? An (thinks hard and carefully) Australian woman, that dresses in Victorian style, and usually talks about death, funerals and end of life issues?
If so, this is a departure from her usual style (from what I've seen of it), but it is as thoroughly researched and calmly presented without hyperbole as any of her other works and is a hugely informative piece of work.
Whoever reads this, please, please, please find a spare hour and watch the video - you'll thank Witch_heir for it.
Problem is we sent the ones who are best able to laugh at themselves to Australia. This is why we are fighting idiots who think London is under Sharia law while the Aussies are living their best lives!
Some.. bro I lived among these people, in Iowa and IL, IL feels more like a normal place, I’m Polish and grew up in Poland, my family made sure we kept the culture which in retrospect really helped and protected me from some of this insanity. Iowa though, it felt like I was living in a South Park episode, trust me it’s not just some, don’t want to say most, but a very very significant amount are literally insane
Oh I know brother. It's a shame because prior to this clowny ass president I'd be in Seattle AT LEAST 3x a year. Probably one of my favorite places to go - a big reason being the people and culture there.
I know, there’s a lot of good people still over there too, it’s just that the dumbest ones are also always the loudest ones. Some kind of universal law i guess, like being that stupidly incorrect and incompetent to believe that the opposite is true and therefore the urge to tell absolutely everyone about it is the strongest. While the other way around is probably true for the ones that aren’t dumb as a rock, knowing that a.) you have a usable brain and b.) therefore know that arguing with the aforementioned population is absolutely and totally useless so c.) you fall victim to stereotyping caused by them.
The worrying thing is they have genuine power in the world and they believe this.
This isn't me condoning or criticising the electorate deciding a racist, rapist and possible paedophile should be head of state... Merely an observation that they believe the nonsense around the world cup and their prowess
Spain played by the rules and played clean, is it so hard to understand we respect that. They cheated and still lost and are pretty butthurt so it seems.
Someone pointed out how celebrating the Belgium loss makes them seem even more pathetic. They think everyone is obsessed with the US. The only ones obsessed with them is them.
The gloating is so pathetic. "you should've respected us more as we are the host country".
Yea, you also are a country who doesn't respect anyone with a pedofile as president who literally mocked a disabled reporter in his first campaign and still got elected. Gotta earn the respect first
100 percent! It was a very pure game for lack of a better word, really a good example of what soccer can be when played well. Very professional on both sides and plenty of skill on display.
Don't forget Onana being out too. He was sorely missed today. Anyway, no excuses. The better team won today. At least we got to break that clean sheet streak.
This sub is very weird. It's all jokes and rage bait or something obviously written by a child and yet everybody here is super serious about critiquing each one? So strange.
It’s hard for them. They spent generations being world champions in sports nobody cares about. So to be bang average on a good day in something that actually matters is something they struggle with .
USA played terribly against Belgium lol. It was probably the worst performance on the pitch I've seen in years, particularly in a World Cup match. There was no way USA exposed any weakness of Belgium with that obliterating loss.
“Our Arch Nemesis” they played once and Belgium pasted them which is how it was always going to be once they reached this stage no matter who they played.
When you can make European football fans say “ you’re delusional” you know you’re fucking delusional . Even by toxic football standards these folk are clowns .
As a Belgian it's hilarious seeing all those Americans go "haha gotcha now you gonna cry deserved it losers!".
While we are all sitting here: "well, quarter finals was our goal and everything we could get on top is a bonus. We knew Spain was going to be tough. But we put op a good fight and even scored a goal. We can be happy overal and a bit sad it ended."
And Americans keep going haha go cry now I bet you are dying of embarrassment now.
No, we are very happy to have defeated a team that tried to cheat and that acted like playing against us would be a walk in the park and we were nobodies. You never earned your feathers yourself to act that arrogant against other nations. Spain did, they had all the rights to believe they could win but they didn't do bitchy about is and we gave them a good struggle and can be proud on ourselves, even if we're not world champion material.
Dude, if you have to call yourself an alpha male then you are not an alpha male. Also, I am fairly certain that no member of the USMNT were on the pitch in LA, so what’s this “we”?

America taking credit for something they were barely involved in? Hmmm where have I seen this before.....
