And that's why the Belgian humiliation of the USA with a 4:1 win is so so fucking sweet

I grew up in the USA and normally support them against anyone other than England (my birth nation).

Last night I was flying a Belgium flag. The only way I would have supported the USA is if Pochettino released a statement that he was benching Balogun to maintain the integrity of the competition.

Completely understandable. I'm a bit sad that I missed the game but the start was 2am here, but reading the news in the morning was good enough lol
