🚨 WOW! Sec. of State Marco Rubio just MIC DROPPED Belgium and every leftist complaining that FIFA overturned the red card suspension for USA's Balogun "If you're Belgium, WHY would you WANT to play a game and win a match, and then you win this match, and then everyone will argue you didn't really win it because their best player, leading score was not there during the match!" 🔥 "It was a BAD decision. They shouldn't even be reviewing these things on slow motion. Right? It should be reviewed in live action." "It's kind of unusual because, generally speaking, I mean, if you're playing, you want the other side to be at its best so that your victory is not TAINTED in that way." "Maybe turning into an international incident. I don't know, maybe we'll bring it up in NATO tomorrow!" 🤣 "I just hope the match will go on. Everyone will be at full strength, and the winner will be the winner." 👏🏻

The most interesting part of the red card saga isn't the ruling. It's how differently Americans and Europeans process the idea that they might have been wronged. Europeans are fundamentally different from Americans in one particular way: they expect life to be aggravating and at times unfair. It's just a fact of moving through the world. I joke that in Europe, the customer is always wrong. You didn't read the fine print. The only pharmacy in town is closed every other Tuesday for three hours, and even if the times weren't posted, that's still your problem. Too bad if you want the bill, because the waiter's on his union-mandated half-hour smoke break, and you're just going to have to wait. To quote the great Mark Knopfler: sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. There's something freeing in that. Things are less in your control, so there's less angst in managing your expectations. In America, things couldn't be more different. We simply can't accept a wrong left unrighted. The flight attendant sneezed handing you a drink on your one-hour flight? 15,000 frequent flyer miles. Didn't like your appetizer? A replacement is on the way, and the whole course comes off the bill. There's a reason our interstates are lined with trial lawyer billboards. Europeans have turned complaining into a continental pastime with no expectation that the universe owes them a remedy for their grief. You gripe about the train being late, your friends nod solemnly and everyone goes back to their apéro. In America, we launch a full-blown investigation of the train system, sue the government (and its contractors) that allowed for the tardiness and hold a Congressional hearing on the state of national infrastructure. So to an objective observer, the red card shouldn't have happened, and VAR was a travesty. To Americans, our star player shouldn't be unfairly banned from a match we couldn't afford to lose for a card he so obviously didn't deserve. Who cares that FIFA used a little-used reversal to fix it. Who cares that other people are mad about it. We. Were. Wronged. It was unjust. It must be corrected. We would accept nothing less. Europeans waxing poetic about the sanctity of the game are, of course, talking about a governing body whose last tournament host was decided via confirmed cash bribes — one that imposed dress codes on women, shrugged off widespread allegations of modern slavery and reconfigured the entire tournament calendar to suit the host country. Which is exactly the point. If you've made peace with all of that, at least enough to watch the tournament four years later, a probationary suspension isn't actually a scandal. Maybe that's the real divide. Over millennia, Europeans have made peace with being the bug. Americans have never once considered it, and apparently, we're not about to start now.

President Trump would never interfere with the inner workings of FIFA.   President Trump thanked FIFA after the fact. It was very clear to most football fans worldwide that the red card was unnecessarily issued. When you are having the world championship it’s very good to review important decisions so that the games are fair. The stakes are too high for a wrong decision. I commend the referees at FIFA for something that they, not anyone else, felt needed correcting. Bryan & I and all of our co-Patriots in Belgium are looking forward to watching the game this evening. Now, may THE best team (🇺🇸🇺🇸) win!

Anti Semitism is UNACCEPTABLE in any form & it must be rooted out of our society. President TRUMP @POTUS @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @VP @SecRubio @StateSEAS @DeputySecState and I call upon all of Belgium to do a much better job on this subject ! TO BELGIUM, SPECIFICALLY YOU MUST DROP THE RIDICULOUS AND ANTI SEMITIC “PROSECUTION” NOW OF THE 3 JEWISH RELIGIOUS FIGURES (MOHELS) IN ANTWERP! THEY ARE DOING WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN TRAINED TO DO FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. To the (very rude) Belgian Minister of Health FRANK VANENBROUCKE; You must make a legal provision to allow Jewish religious MOHELS to perform their duties here in Belgium. It’s done in all civilized counties as legal procedure. BELGIUM is a civilized country. Stop this unacceptable harassment of the Jewish community here in Antwerp and in Belgium. It’s 2026, you need to get into the 21st century and allow our brethren Jewish families in Belgium to legally execute their religious freedoms! Frank - do not “wait for this case to end”. You told me that this is your sneaky tactic in our first meeting where you refused to shake my hand or be photographed with me in your conference room, named after our GREAT First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, because it was clear that you dislike America, the country that fought and where tens of thousands of our nation’s sons died for Belgium’s freedom twice - in WWI & in WWII. Take action NOW! The world is watching. America is counting on you to do the right thing. Frank, you should do it NOW so this case ends! I am heading to Antwerp next week to meet with these MOHELS and their families. Frank you and Conner Rousseau should come with me! It’s disgusting what’s happened to these fine men and their families because of your inaction. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter!
