Trump suddenly a fan of birthright citizenship?
The whole US team should be shamed and this player should decline to play. Any wins they have will now be tainted by Trump stank and his corruption.

The conservatives, including Donvict, are just laser-focused on the things that matter like affordability.
They’re gonna let Trump steal the trophy, aren’t they?
They already did! They brought the trophy to a launch event at the White House last year and he decided to keep it. The one they’re using at the tournament is a replica.
already engraved with his majesty's name.
They will just hand it over 🇺🇸🥇💩
If I were them, I’d get that plastic-metallic-coated shit and give that to him to steal, and give the real one to the team.
Just to troll the shit out of him. (But they like him, so eww)
I’d get that plastic-metallic-coated shit and give that to him to steal, and give the real one to the team
Unfortunately, the reverse already happened.
Infantino (president of FIFA/the Trump of sports) gave him the original made of precious metals and he kept it. The one awarded to the winning team is going to be a replica 🤬
I'ts a a trophy with cheap gold paint, so he can't keep his eyes off it.
Aaaaaaaand .... Trump just dumped on the whole tournament and put the US team in a worse position than they already were with the bad red card call. If they win now, the win is tainted by controversy and the corrupt stain of Shitfinger. The only way for the team to save face would be to keep him off the field for the game anyway, which would also piss people off. It's a lose-lose situation and will probably impact the team's play as well.
The Man with the Mierdas Touch.
Ah but that stain? That stain is trump's and fifa's, but only the team's if they don't abide by the original red card ruling. .
They really need a replacement to FIFA, it's been corrupt for generations
It may as well be a mafia organization. I don't know what keeps continental federations from building a new FIFA replacement other than further corruption. Maybe the expansion to 48 teams and the unprecedented rescinding of Balogun's suspension will finally be the guillotine that cut the camel in half.
I like your words, talking dog

oh, my. while dipshit is desperately trying to end 'birthright citizenship', he is also rooting for and coming to the aid and defense of a player who is literally on and eligible for usmnt because he was a recipient of that very same constitutionally-protected citizenship.. when his nigerian parents were denied boarding by an airline as they were returning home 2 mo before his birth. he was instead born in new york before returning to their home in england where he was raised.
He can’t think further than the last ten seconds. Don’t expect him to put these two things together
I mean.. He won the FIFA Peace Prize. Doesn’t that make it ok?
/s just in case
The shitty part was that the red card was actually bullshit
It was. That wasn't a red card offense but the ref sucked.
Boycot this shit show please. Don't pay single cent to view any of it! FIFA and United Bluff is beyond rotten.
Boycot this shit show please
Already doing so.
There are dozens of us!
yeah I've seen soccer fans there is 0% chance any kind of boycott would take place or have any meaningful impact in any fashion
however I support it (as a non soccer fan and as a Fifa disliker)
I'm a football (as it's actually called) fan and I AM indeed boycotting it.
Haven't seen a minute of it, haven't spent a dime on it directly or indirectly.
So there by definition IS a boycott, however small and unorganized.
You're probably right about meaningful impact, though, since I don't personally know of anyone else boycotting it 😮💨
The world should boycott the world cup! That would be hilarious if accomplished.
I see the way mainstream marketing is raping the authenticity of the sport. It's sick. It's hard to see these ads and broadcasters abusing the authentic culture... For any real football heads out there sorry for your loss. America will soon take the joy from you.
FIFA has been loudly siphoning money and influence for the entirety my lifetime. Anyone surprised or shocked at this hasn’t been paying attention to soccer or the owner of the fifa peace prize.
