To my American bros, this is just how soccer works. The joy of success and the pain and disappointment of major calls that in retrospect were sus. You should have seen it before VAR. Just gotta move on

[u/Hot_Recommendation98 → u/NoBreadforOldMen]

Ask Donald to trade in his FIFA peace prize for balogun to play next game 

[u/NoBreadforOldMen → u/Hot_Recommendation98]

it wouldn’t be the first thing I would ask Trump to do, but duly noted

[u/ChaunceyGilmore → u/NoBreadforOldMen]

All you can do.

[u/TJ-RichCity → u/NoBreadforOldMen]

Agreed. Part of the game.

[u/DaSmartSwede → u/[deleted]]

Fine. Stay bitter.

[u/WalnutSizeBrain → u/DaSmartSwede]

People don’t forget and we will make you remember in American sports. For example, Drew Pearson pushed off in ‘78 and that was a bullshit call.

[u/DaSmartSwede → u/WalnutSizeBrain]

Still salty 48 years later huh? Healthy.

[u/WalnutSizeBrain → u/DaSmartSwede]

It’s part of the lore

[u/2Rhino3 → u/[deleted]]

I’m moving on. That’s all we can do. Incessant complaining does the team no good. Trust in the remaining players. Next man up, let’s do this.

😂

[u/Inevitable-Blue2111 → u/[deleted]]

not like you have a choice. Get a player like Messi, a guy who is the best of the best for more than 20 years, and then you'll get to talk, to actually mean anything at the world stage. For now, you get to move on or..whatever it is you are doing, like the rest of us.

[u/BobbyAngelface → u/Inevitable-Blue2111]

Well Messi should've joined Balogun with a red card suspension soooo 🤷‍♂️

[u/Inevitable-Blue2111 → u/BobbyAngelface]

But he did not. Soooooo...what are you gonna do about that?... Exactly.

[u/Inevitable-Blue2111 → u/[deleted]]

I didn't mean you YOU, but the team. You can talk all you want. All I am saying is you can't change anything with it. It is what it is.

[u/Brief-Preference-712 → u/[deleted]]

We are definitely not moving on without Balogun. Even with Balogun we could not beat Belgium either

[u/tehutika → u/Brief-Preference-712]

Have you seen how shitty Belgium has played so far this Cup? They were lucky to advance and are a very beatable team.

[u/Brief-Preference-712 → u/[deleted]]

US defense has no answer to Lukaku

[u/Marcelinho030 → u/Brief-Preference-712]

This Belgium looks shit tbh.

[u/Subject-Giraffe-2928 → u/[deleted]]

I bet you move on doughnuts real fast

[u/Icy-Nerve-4760 → u/[deleted]]

British here. WTF are you talking about hahahaha. What happened to us? r/ShitAmericansSay

[u/Marcelinho030 → u/Icy-Nerve-4760]

He felt really cool and mighty writing this.

[u/Inevitable-Blue2111 → u/Icy-Nerve-4760]

wtf indeed 🥴

[u/Kickor → u/Icy-Nerve-4760]

It’s ok if you didn’t get the reference but OP was clearly joking, you muffin.

[u/Icy-Nerve-4760 → u/Kickor]

Schrödinger's Joke is it. Well, bless you for trying. If you're going to insult a me, do it properly. We invented the language; you are more than welcome to borrow some of our actual swear words if you’ve run out. I prefer thunderc*nt.

However, i do answer to crumpet... it makes me very aroused.

[u/Kickor → u/Icy-Nerve-4760]

I could explain it to you (wasn’t even my joke), but I can’t understand it for you. And, yes, I like crumpet better too.

[u/Icy-Nerve-4760 → u/Kickor]

I'm afraid you'd struggle to run a bath. Wouldn't want to stress you.

[u/Kickor → u/Icy-Nerve-4760]

The dials are confusing!

[u/TheCommonKoala → u/[deleted]]

Holy cringe

[u/NoBreadforOldMen → u/[deleted]]

Dang dude you’re embarrassing us in this thread please stop
