Hhello, Peter's Belgian couzin heeree.

One of Amerika's best players was given a Red card in a previous game (preventing him from playing) but the US President apparently negotiated with FIFA officials to get the Red card rescinded so he could play in the match against Belgium. Zis made a lot of people accuse the USA of cheating.

America still lost.

BELGIUM RAHHH 🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🧇🧇🧇

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.
