So… after the ridiculous peace prize trump is now even forcing FIFA to manipulate the game in their favour.

If Europe had any balls we would just go home and start a new organisation to replace the corrupt FIFA. We should have never even accepted to play in trumpistan

    What a shitty thing to do to the U.S. team. Now, there’s no way that they can have a clean victory, if they win. It’s tainted with the smell of corruption.

      That’s a good point actually. I guess they could still do the honorable thing and not use that player

        They won’t because the US Soccer Federation would not dare humiliate Trump after he’s so publicly stated about the red card being overturned.

        This is what happens when you give in to dictators.

      The US should have no path to victory.

      That they made it this far has everything to do with biased picks for the initial rounds.

      Canada, US and Mexico were all all but guaranteed to get into the round of 32, the US was functionally guaranteed to get into the round of 16.
