    AND AFTER ALL THAT THEY FOLDED LIKE A WET PAPER BAG.

    Honestly pathetic. If he had any decency Ream would have just benched Balogun for the game anyway instead of taking advantage of Trump’s meddling. As it is, I can’t help but think they crushed the team’s morale with this stunt. Imagine knowing that no matter how well you do from here on out, you’re just going to be known as the cheating scumbags who needed the president to pull strings for you. Any win would be permanently tainted.

    But of course, everything Trump touches turns to shit.

      I’m glad they played him, and for the entire match. You just know if he was carded or benched, the USA fans and Trump would claim they would have won.

      They fielded their best team and got utterly clapped - chef’s kiss 💋.

    Anybody come up with the statistic on how many people wouldn’t be on the US team if we’d had Trump’s immigration policy for the last 50 years?
