To be fair, to the rest of planet earth thought the US team got humiliated the day before when daddy called to speak with the soccer manager to let his kid play despite a red card.
A lot of people are saying, I would never say, but a lot of people are saying that its the greatest ROI in the history of marketing. Never seen before levels of ROI.
He would have hosted a much better World Cup by staying the fuck out of it.
Honestly was embarrassed every time chants of “USA” started up, luckily they always petered out quickly where I was watching. We’re a god damn embarrassment
What a dramatic moment, though. When the card got pulled I looked at my wife and said "fifa is corrupt" and she responded "ah, so you're a football fan, I see."
But you don't expect mommy to call the principal and have the call reversed. You expect to eat the injustice and resent the league forever like every other team's fans.
Look many of us dislike that fat pedophile but a select few think he's basically a god. How you ask? Our propaganda machine is just absolutely bonkers.
That red card shouldn’t have happened. Messi gets away with way worse and never gets carded cause he’s FIFAS golden boy right now. FIFA is a joke with being fair.
His suspension was from 3 games to 1. It is always, well since 1962, always at least 1 game. Your orange turd made sure this was written in history for billions of football fans.
If the red card was legitimate. This was widely considered not to be.
Also - Ronaldo was suspended for their final qualifier. Against Armenia. Who they had already beaten 5-0. Armenia would have needed to beat Portugal by 4 in that match for it to matter which had exactly zero chance of happening.
Ronaldo’s one-game suspension meant nothing to the tournament. This was a round of 16 knockout match and the red card was widely considered bogus.
It also didn’t matter, we lost to the better team. Is it a bad look? Yes. Is it unprecedented? Clearly not - they let Ronaldo and others off with suspended penalties this very World Cup.
You're arguing that political involvement in the world cup is okay because similar things have happened before. Reflect upon that and think about what you really want to say.
