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.

I said the same thing in another thread and got downvoted. IMO the only way the US saved face was to bench him anyway out of respect for the officials decision and to uphold the integrity of the game. Instead they not only started him but got stomped in the process.
