Now we find out who the “real” football fans in America are.
Our overrated group of players gave it their best, but it sure didn’t look like it against Belgium. Instead of the team that was flying into the opponents’ box and getting opportunities, they played scared; more afraid to lose than showing any desire to go full blast and take any real chances.
They should never have played Pulisic.
It was only last month when Belgium kicked the shit out of us in a “friendly” preparation match, or did you forget?
The attendance at our big North American stadiums have been full and TV ratings have been sky-high, but now what?
I am an avid follower of football so I will watch every remaining match in the ‘Cup, but the USA bandwagon-jumpers will start jumping off now, if they haven’t already.
I’m wondering how long it will take our diseased president to proclaim the national team as “losers,” as is his custom. His blatant interference did nothing but stir up Bad Karma and universal resentment, the tools of his trade.
There are still some great storylines left as the World Cup continues without its three “host teams,” Canada, the United States, and Mexico. I feel Ronaldo’s goodbye is final (and disappointing to be honest) and Lionel Messi has finally put to rest any talk whatsoever on who is the GOAT.
My sentimental favorite of course, are my lads from England and they need to keep rocking and not get too conservative, especially as they progress. I wonder if they will be able to match the frenetic pace and speed of France or the hyper-active Moroccans. When Spain goes top gear they will also be a tough challenge. And don’t count out the Belgians either.
I guess I am still sticking with my original pick France because they seem to have the most productive big-game players that are showing up and showing out.
We shall see.
Where is China?
I was always used to seeing them as a world power in many sports, but they are definitely conspicuous by their absence at this year’s World Cup.
Shut up Lurch.
John Fetterman is polluting the air again with his comments about that Nazi criminal Maine senatorial candidate Graham Platner, who sees our country is being led by a sexual deviant, so why not?
Trump just insisted (for the umpteenth time) the Iran cease-fire has ended.
Good.
Because it never existed if you ask the Iranians.
They aren’t listening to him and never did.
You can quit with the keystrokes writing about approval ratings (or lack of approval) and polls.
As if he gives a damn.
He knows his shit is coming to an end.
Even a greedy fool like him can feel the walls closing in.
A third term?
He’ll be lucky to survive this one.
Now you can add Spain to the list.
Trump has deemed the Spaniards to be “very bad people.”
Trumpspeak for “they didn’t kiss my cellulite-riddled ass enough.”
Only in California…
You can try and kill your wife and two children by driving off a 250-foot cliff and if you don’t succeed, you only have to take a “mental health” course, and presto!
Off you go!
Stay well.
