From context, I'm guessing America lost?

Who'd we lose to? Please let it be a Latin American or African country.

1:4 to Belgium even with the dictator in chief personally overturning a red card previously given to your best player.

I kinda wonder what threats he used to get FIFA to do so, having ICE arrest Belgium?

Or is this a thing any host country can do? Could Germany have had Zidine Zidane released in 2006?

FIFA doing something flagrantly corrupt

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

FIFA is the same organization that invented a bullshit "peace prize" to give Trump. Apparently FIFA is the sort of organization that doesn't need threats to french Trump's asshole. They'll do that for free.

What's more likely:

Trump is some uniquely likeable guy and FIFA just couldn't help themselves show how grateful they are for Trump existing.
FIFA observed Trump is a child who could throw a tantrum at any moment and do serious damage to the organization if not constantly flattered.

Trump bought the privilege to host the world cup, the same way Qatar did. It's about money. Trump only knows money and fucking little kids.

Of course they could always just not associate with him. If you're not standing right next to Trump at all times he forgets you exist.

Trump was going on about imposing tariffs on the UK for enforcing tax laws that have been on the books for ages, only he's just found out about them, UK government totally ignored the tantrum, so now he's forgotten about it.

This is FIFA, no threats needed. They're almost as corrupted as he is, no wonder he's such good pals with Infantino.

Sorry, Belgium.

But it was 4-1, including a great US fumble. Entertaining game all around!
