    1. Breaking News!!! Donald effing Trump has officially petitioned FIFA to throw out the result of today’s game between Belgium and The USA…says the ballots were rigged and the referee was a bad hombre!!!
    2. What an extremely satisfying hate-watch. Whining and crying about a red card only to have special treatment allow your leading scorer to be on the field for the inevitable beating. Maybe more whining and crying will get Infantino to reverse the result!
    3. Hayes on the IRONY at the center of Trump’s FIFA scandal

    1. Soccer in the US is largely watched by people who don’t like traditional sports. Is this the same in other countries or do people take soccer seriously in your country?
    2. Why does Cristiano Ronaldo refer to himself in third person so often?
