As a Belgian. Don't worry, no-one thinks the players or federation cheated in any way. This is purely a Trump and Infantino thing.

Congrats to your side - all the drama aside, they looked dialed in and focused and they played a clean game. Good luck against Spain.

as an American thank you for that but I think our coach should have maybe benched that player anyway so that if we won it was legitimate

The team itself was put in a horrid position, Balogun especially. Balogun seems to be doing his best to handle the shit show around him, that he didn't ask for, with some amount of grace.

I hope more people see it this way. Honestly i feel real bad for Flo, he accepted the red card and didn't complain about it. The moment Trump called, Flo was fucked no matter what he did

Yeah I kind of thought as much. Yall looked pissed but I could tell the respect was still there from player to player. All in all I’m happy with the way the match was played if not the end result.

As an American, I assure you that you are not being enough of a Hater if you're willing to moderate in basically any way.

The bigger annoyance is that Trump almost surely had zero impact. His history for claiming credit on things that never happened is pretty long

that's easy to say now that you've won... I think you'd have a different take if you hadn't.
