Apparently, Starmer did the same thing. It's only bad when the orange man does it.

So far, Balogun doesn’t seem a factor in the game.

Will Trump post a link to this video?

When I studied in Paris long ago, and ethnic humor was still OK, the butt of many French moron jokes were the supposedly stupid Belgians. Some of the jokes still bring a smile.

2-1 belgium. Both sides playing well.

RCOCEAN II āĻŦāϞেāĻ›েāύ...

Soccer's penalties are too draconian. The USA player that got the Red card didn't injure his opponent or affect the game in any way. Compare that to the old NBA where "The Chief" Robert Parish could just hit Lambier in the face six times and not even get ejected!

rehajm āĻŦāϞেāĻ›েāύ...

…everyone wanted to hit Lambier in the fave six times…

"Well now, the result of last week's competition when we asked you to find a derogatory term for the Belgians. Well, the response was enormous and we took quite a long time sorting out the winners. There were some very clever entries. Mrs. Hatred of Leicester Said 'let's not call them anything, let's just ignore them' ... and a Mr. St John of Hurtfingdou said he couldn't think of anything more derogatory than Belgians. But in the end we settled on three choices: number three ... the Sprouts, sent in by Mrs. Vicious of Hastings... very nice ; number two..... the Phlegms ... from Mrs. Childmolester of Worthing; but the winner was undoubtedly from Mrs. No-Supper-For-You from Norwood in Lancashire ... Miserable Fat Belgian Bastards" - Month Python

When I briefly worked for SACEUR.
"What do you call a an attractive woman in Belgium?"
"A tourist."

Big Mike āĻŦāϞেāĻ›েāύ...

Belgium wins, 4 - 1. I thought they had the better athletes, particularly at goalkeeper.

RCOCEAN II āĻŦāϞেāĻ›েāύ...

Yeah, you tell there was a talent gap between belgium and the USA, maybe not in raw talent but definitely in working together as a unit.

RCOCEAN II āĻŦāϞেāĻ›েāύ...

4-1 completely exaggerates how much better Belgium was. USA had its chances but once it got behind 2-1 in the 2nd half it had to keep pressing which opened things up for Belgium.

RCOCEAN II āĻŦāϞেāĻ›েāύ...

The main thing is to beat France. Hopefully, Argentina can power through to the finals.

RCOCEAN II āĻŦāϞেāĻ›েāύ...

Team USA was ranked 13th (tied with Japan) when the World cup started. They were lucky to get to the final 16. Historically, they never get past the Round of 16. You don't become a soccer powerhouse overnight.

Interesting that all 3 World Cup host teams made the final 16 and none will be in the final 8.

Congrats to Belgium! They played a great game and beat our full team. No. Excuses. No asterisks, thanks to Trump. This is as it should be in all things.

Big Mike āĻŦāϞেāĻ›েāύ...

Wife asked who won. I told her Belgium. She said "Gives the Democrats something to celebrate."

I think she's right.

Hercule Poirot left Belgium with all available grey cells

bagoh20 āĻŦāϞেāĻ›েāύ...

I felt like Belgium played the way I wanted the U.S. team to play, and vise versa. Worst thing was losing to those uniforms. It was like getting beat up by a tranny on the 4th of July. Still one of the best times I had losing since Belinda in Microbiology in 1979 beat me at arm wrestling and forced me to do what I promised. She had some good moves.

mccullough āĻŦāϞেāĻ›েāύ...

The best male athletes in the U.S. don’t play soccer. The best female athletes do. That’s the way it is.

WA-mom āĻŦāϞেāĻ›েāύ...

I agree with bagoh20 . Those were some sissy uniforms. Ick!

hanuman_prodigious_leaper āĻŦāϞেāĻ›েāύ...

No tag for Baby Trump?

You know, I missed the game. Fell asleep. Sad but true. Now I'm up at 3 in the morning. Grrrr.

I'm still watching the tournament. Pulling for Argentina. One thing I like about Lionel Messi, the best soccer player in the world, is that whenever he celebrates a goal, he does a quick finger-point up to heaven. Thanks the Lord, every time.

And man, he can really play.

that video cracks me up

Not so fast, Belgium.

The city of Los Angeles still has another 29 days to count all the goals from tonight's match.

I've never seen baby Trump before. These are hilarious.

My 19 yo today: "the best part about rooting for the USA to win today is that if they win, it'll be awesome, we'll feel great. And if they lose, we won't care and we get to go right back to totally not caring about soccer."

AI's getting scary

if it solves the humor paradox, oh man

we're doomed

I notice AI glitches and I'm like, "Oh shit, that's not funny"

fuck

I thought humor would save humanity

fucking robot is making jokes now

Now that the US is out, I’m rooting for the Vikings.

Plus, I love seeing the raging normal masculinity on display from the world’s soccer fans here in the US. It’s the way it should be.

Mike (MJB Wolf) āĻŦāϞেāĻ›েāύ...

Trump does something. The media freaks out and screams “UNPRECEDENTED!” Then those who follow the subject closely put the president’s words in context. Then everyone realizes that the organization is the entity operating in the grey area and we are only AWARE of the shady practices now because Trump drew attention to it.

Sure this applies to FIFA, but just sit back and contemplate all the times this same sequence has played out over the last ten years. If you are honest then the pattern is obvious.
