What's funny about this to me is that some of the US fans were talking like they thought they had a real shot this year. They always think that the American team is better than it really is. But, they were knocked out in the Round of 16, which is normally the first knockout round of the World Cup.

Even a Belgian team with almost no members of the "golden generation" was much better than them.

Most people in the US didn't realize there was even a US team in the World Cup at all. Any who thought they had a "real shot" are definitely in the minority, and they exist in every country.

[–] JenitalJouster@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

some people saw the usa beat some low ranking fifa teams and thought they’d win the whole world cup🤣🤣

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 38 points 11 hours ago

As an American I approve.

The US team played like shit and our corrupt pedophile president pulled strings to alter the odds.

And the last thing we need is another win the Pedophile-In-Chief can steal valor from and portray as his own for political gain.

[–] SalamiDommie@lemmus.org 10 points 11 hours ago

You know they overturned the red card because we weren't going to win anyway.

Corruption aside, I'm not sure the rest of the world understands how little Americans care about this sport. I'm not surprised our team sucks lol

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago

I wonder if there's any country above 84%. Some small countries like Bosnia seem even more obsessed than Brazil, but they have such a small population that they don't have the reputation of Brazil.

[–] NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 9 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

You can think what you like, I for example think the rest of the world understands perfectly well that soccer isn't one of your primary sports.

For a sport in its infancy in your country, I didn't think the US team were that bad

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 hours ago

It actually is one of the primary sports for women in the US. And their womens team is one of the best, having won the world cup 4 times, 91, 99, 15 and 19

And for 1 in 4 sportsfans to follow football in the US isnt THAT bad. More than i expected.

What amuses me is the soccer fans here who think we're going to get better. I first encountered this in '94 when we (the US) hosted the world cup and got spanked by a Brazil team playing with 10 players. It's like Indians saying they're going to be good at basketball soon (they aren't, because they love cricket).

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I think the US is going to get better, but I don't think they'll be challenging any of the global powerhouses. Soccer / futbol is getting more and more popular over time. And, typically, when a country hosts the world cup, 10-15 years later there's a new group of players who were inspired by the tournament and who have spent the time since then focusing on it.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 52 minutes ago

American athletes generally are multi-sport players when younger, and tend to follow the best money. The players who have the best chance at being star soccer players simply end up playing football or basketball. The sport being less popular than at least 4 other sports in America is a huge problem for developing homegrown talent for the national team.

US played badly. That first goal was just embarrassing. The third one was even worse. Belgium absolutely dominated.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

The fourth was extremely embarrassing as well, although who cares at that point. There's a defender there watching Lukaku literally flat-footed, even though there was nobody else around for him to guard.

At least with the header we had two defenders closely marking the guy, even though that just made it an even more spectacular goal.

Now the real question...has the orange kid-fucker lashed out about this yet? How many times has be blamed it on Dems, Biden, has he mentioned Obama yet?

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 12 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. He has called Belgium a “hell-hole”

He said the US needs to stop spending money on this game for losers and that they should finish the rest of the matches outside of the USA

True? Satire? I have no idea, and we may never know.

Don’t tempt FIFA

[–] normalentrance@lemmy.zip 14 points 16 hours ago

This is when we accuse them of cheating right?

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 146 points 1 day ago (12 children)

@belgium, on behalf of the world : Thank you and well done! Whoever wins the cup, you are the team of the tournament !

Don't tempt him. One call is all it takes for Fifa to suddenly declare that actually the USA won. Turns out refs missed 87 fouls by the Belgian team.

[–] groet@feddit.org 6 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

I hope so much they will actually do something like that. Its about time ~~somebody sets fire to~~ the FIFA headquarters catch on fire randomly.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 hours ago

I want data centers to "catch on fire randomly" 🔥

[–] its_prolly_fine@sh.itjust.works 81 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

It's almost like Trump made things worse. What a surprise.......
