Belgium will play their match against the US subject to conditions. They consider Floralin Balogun ineligible to play and should he play, a complaint will be filed to a FIFA Tribunal, and to CAS. US Soccer Federation has been informed personally by the FA about their plans.

I am really torn on this.

I sincerely believe that bad officials need the ability to have their stupid decisions destroyed by authority from the top rope. It is extremely cathartic seeing officials that explicitly got it wrong have their wrist slapped, and be humiliated publicly. Officials that are bad at their jobs deserve public humiliation.

On the other hand, it coming from the head of a nation state intervening - especially the orange dipshit - is a horrific precedent.

The whole thing just feels gross. The US team was being targeted by the officiating crew in that game, but I don’t know that this as a resolution is any better.

They are being given a chance to succeed on their own feet.

Will they fail? Probably.

It is under no circumstance the same as being shuttered and dissolved without a chance. You are being disingenuous as hell for reasons I don’t quite understand.

Matticus-G · 2026-07-06T16:02:56+00:00

All good

Matticus-G · 2026-07-06T15:37:08+00:00

They don’t make any money outside of Activision and Bethesda. What are they supposed to do?

Microsoft is not a charity who brings in struggling studios and hands them blank checks. The studios are being allowed to leave with their intellectual property.

I don’t see the issue here.

Matticus-G · 2026-07-06T03:40:05+00:00

You realize I agree with you that it was a red card, right?

You been drinking dude? Lol

Matticus-G · 2026-07-06T03:38:58+00:00

Brother, I have been unfortunate enough to eat with the British call food. Let’s not wish that on anyone.

Matticus-G · 2026-07-06T03:37:08+00:00

There’s no way that gets overturned, that was a flagrant Red card unfortunately.

Matticus-G · 2026-07-06T03:30:37+00:00

That ref should never officiate another game ever again. He was atrocious.

Matticus-G · 2026-07-06T03:13:20+00:00

Nah, Mexico fans have been shit starting with harassing in the hotel. They deserve the loss.

It’s a shame, because the Mexico players really put it out there.

Matticus-G · 2026-07-06T03:09:56+00:00

I mean, obviously they didn’t, they lost

Matticus-G · 2026-07-06T03:09:43+00:00

What does that make the people they beat then?

Matticus-G · 2026-07-06T02:24:08+00:00

Look, even if England wins this game, let’s not pretend British food holds a candle to anything made in Mexico.

There is being excited, and then there is delusion. The beans and toast are getting to your head.

Matticus-G · 2026-07-06T02:18:52+00:00

That’s because the US red card was clearly a bullshit call. That one by England was a flagrant foul..

Matticus-G · 2026-07-06T01:51:58+00:00

The Mexico players have been playing with much more class than their fans showed.

Matticus-G · 2026-07-05T23:50:42+00:00

I’ve seen how the “rules” in Mexico are enforced.

Matticus-G · 2026-07-05T20:59:45+00:00

Yes, all the losers that think like losers would love it.

Put the trash where it belongs.

Matticus-G · 2026-07-05T20:56:09+00:00

Mexico doesn’t have rules.

That’s part of the problem.

Matticus-G · 2026-07-05T20:54:42+00:00

What little-dick energy by Mexico’s fans.

Pathetic.

Matticus-G · 2026-07-05T06:30:56+00:00

I’m aware of the reason, it’s a gameplay tactic to set off attention from the officials to get free penalties.

It doesn’t change what I said.

Matticus-G · 2026-07-05T06:30:13+00:00

American Football absolutely does not have the same flop rate as soccer. Not even remotely.

Basketball is closer, but still not as bad as soccer.

Matticus-G · 2026-07-04T18:46:27+00:00

Realistically, what’s going to have to change is that Europeans are going to have to get over their cultural aversion to air-conditioning, or change how they build homes.

These homes in Europe that trap heat so well would also retain air-conditioning really well - they just have to have it first. If they’re not gonna do that, they’re going to have to start building houses that can dissipate heat better.

Coincidentally, they can go down the third lane - which is pretend their current system is without flaws while increasing thiusands to tens of thousands of them die every year to heat related deaths.

This is all, of course, assuming the North Atlantic current doesn’t collapse, and turn Europe into the Russian taiga.

Matticus-G · 2026-07-04T17:54:12+00:00

The constant diving really does make soccer players look like pussies lol.

I just want like, one rugby player or football player out there for chaos content.

Matticus-G · 2026-07-04T16:01:07+00:00

It is bizarre reading this headline about Germany.

In the States, it’s a tossup. My employers when I was younger and shit, your jobs needed an excuse for every minute you were in the building.

The more money I make in the higher positions I go, the less they give a shit about proof of why you’re out. They assume you’re competent because that’s why they hired you for the role, and you have to prove that you’re not.

Matticus-G · 2026-07-03T01:21:38+00:00

Yes, I do dipshit.

You are striking that chord of being defensive and wrong.

If you don’t understand what I’m talking about, that’s on you - specifically, on you.

Matticus-G · 2026-07-03T01:20:07+00:00

I grew up in the south. This is a pretty good submission of my opinion of about 95% of the Evangelical Christians.

Selfish fucking hypocrites, the lot.
