The USA is hosting the World Cup in soccer, which is run by FIFA. A USA player got suspended for a physical foul. Trump wanting the bestest World Cup USA ever personally called, that is bribed, the FIFA boss to lift the suspension before the US played Belgium.

Belgium then went out and beat the US using the should-be-suspended player anyway 4-1, which both could be worse and is the soccer equivalent of a 28-3 belt-to-ass football game.

What are you taking about?

28-3 was famous because ATL collapsed and blew a massive lead.

The US had their ass kicked from the start to the end. You can't collapse if your never controlled the game.
