Have you also seen the team making the trump dance on the pitch and in the locker room? πŸ˜‚

[–] modus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Do they pretend to jerk off two dudes at once? Trump's signature dance has a terrible D2F ratio. Hugely inefficient.

Gotta do 4, start from the middle and go out.

I was shuffling SV the other day and this ep came on. Iconic

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've seen it, but it doesn't look much like the trump dance. I pretend that it is though.

[–] pimpampoom@lemmy.zip 2 points 19 hours ago

It definitely is, there is even the YMCA song

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 4 points 20 hours ago

Damn it. As soon as FIFA overturned the red card ob the behalf of Trumpty. I was like "Finally, a chance to get in on the corruption. Time to place all my bets on Team USA."

Now, I am fucking broke.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 day ago (5 children)

What's funny about this to me is that some of the US fans were talking like they thought they had a real shot this year. They always think that the American team is better than it really is. But, they were knocked out in the Round of 16, which is normally the first knockout round of the World Cup.

Even a Belgian team with almost no members of the "golden generation" was much better than them.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago

Americans believing Americans are exceptional for no reason? Colour me shocked.

[–] adam_y@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

That's the thing. They thought they were taking to the pitch as equals.

The US had an unsurprisingly easy ride to this point in the competition but came up against a genuinely decent team. Bragging about narrowly beating a team ranked 44th.

The shenanigans just added to the drama, not their chances of winning and that's the real shame, they could have gone out with some honour and class and, instead, Trump made sure they went out as villains.

It was genuine wrestling promo nonsense.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They're 'Muricans

They think they are special, just because

I mean, they're "special"...

But they genuinely can't understand why the civilised world sneers at them

[–] zqps@sh.itjust.works 5 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

A national self-perception steeped in exceptionalism has them convinced it can't be anything but envy.

[–] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Most people in the US didn't realize there was even a US team in the World Cup at all. Any who thought they had a "real shot" are definitely in the minority, and they exist in every country.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

FOOTBALL(soccer) isnt as popular as in EU or the rest of the world, less resources devoted to that sport than in the EU. the people in my university in the states that played soccer aspires to be in a EU league, or at least one that plays in the EU more, they know the US teams are shit.

I hope Belgium wins the whole things now.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 69 points 1 day ago (2 children)

As an American I approve.

The US team played like shit and our corrupt pedophile president pulled strings to alter the odds.

And the last thing we need is another win the Pedophile-In-Chief can steal valor from and portray as his own for political gain.

It's a shame, as there was actually some goodwill towards the US team from the rest of the world, out of respect to the hosts and an ability to separate them from the insanely run government. Then he steps in, starts fucking with the rules and most of that evaporated.

it only further deligitimizes a US football team playing against other countries in the future, since nobody will take them seriously now, and likely call out the us team out more once THE PEDOPHILE is gone from WH.

good, cook these cheaters frauds

Corruption aside, I'm not sure the rest of the world understands how little Americans care about this sport. I'm not surprised our team sucks lol

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Let’s say the adult population is 250 million. 25% of 250 million is 62.5 million people. That is almost as many people that live in France. And way more people than Norway, Netherlands and Portugal combined. Yet these three countries have a world class national team and produce top players.

It’s not that not enough Americans care it is the sports college system for this sport doesn’t work to create elite players. I bet California has enough people interested in the sport to replicate the European promotion and relegation system for a comprehensive multi level amateur league system to produce top players. Like if a tiny nation as Portugal can do it a rich state as California with more inhabitants can probably do it too. 25% of California inhabitants is almost 10 million that is the same as inhabitants in Portugal. And California has a GDP per capita that is more than twice that of Portugal

Not all adults are sports fans though, so those numbers are still inflated. Proportions may still work though. While I have no issues with sports, understand people following them and enjoy playing them, I don't follow any sports myself. There are people like me and people who do the tired scoffing "sportsball" joke all around in the us (not like our interests are any less affordable).

Everything Trump touches turns to shit. He really has the reverse Midas touch.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 66 points 2 days ago

US played badly. That first goal was just embarrassing. The third one was even worse. Belgium absolutely dominated.
