As noted by Secretary Rubio tongue-in-cheek, all the FIFA “drama” is turning into an “international incident” that might even be discussed at the NATO assembly in Turkey. WATCH:

Meanwhile, ‘Suspicious Eddie‘, is practicing his sportball dramatic fainting skills….
Awww. Eddie is adorable! 🥹
THIS is why soccer (I know – futbol) is not popular here. Its ruined by politics like every other international ‘elitist’ thing ….
Please call this so-called “sport” by its correct name: commie round ball.
A lot of these international sports leagues have corrupt referees that can be easily bribed. The ref puts his thumb on the scale by making bad calls or refusing to make a good call: Wrestling, gymnastics, soccer, the list could go on. In all my years watching the NFL (prior to the Colin Kaepernick antics that led to my family boycotting the league), the ref only became the center of the story once – in a controversial Packers game where the main refs were on strike so they called up some junior college refs that some say goofed badly. One of them had to write a book about it after getting death threats!
Soccer meanwhile has questionable refs in almost every game. The Canadian ref who oversaw the Cabo Verde v Argentina game was (mostly) fair resulting in a must-watch match where the 67th ranked team came super close to beating the #1 ranked team.
FIFA isn’t used to being under the microscope of American social media.
Done and dusted.
Kickball being the most important thing in the world today wasn’t on my bingo card when I woke up this morning.

There is this….hmmmm
Wait, what?
He came out just to take that particular question?
Doesn’t the media have more important things to discuss with arguably one of the most powerful men on the planet?
What a bunch of cucks.
I’m not that much into sports but I’m hearing accidental mis-steps happen often in that game with no red card given. If that is the case they targeted the US to try to knock them out of the game. I would scrutinize every video of game play available for any such game ever played at that level of competition and point out the times they didn’t red card a player whose foot accidently landed in a similar place or comparable situation.
Hey OTAN, you should definitely use this international incident to kick the US out of NATO! That’ll show’em!
