Belgium beat us in a sissy sport that we couldn’t care less about.

”… The American dream of winning the 2026 FIFA World Cup was crushed in a 1-4 loss to Belgium, marking the team’s heaviest defeat since 1990...”

I find something oddly amusing about that comment. “American dream“?

It’s like that pathetic guy who says “She can’t take her eyes off of me…” and the girl, when asked says “What…him? Who is he?”

Why bother joining the thread then? Sounds like sour grapes.

Personally I think we did well this time. It’s a competition in which every country but one loses; being in the top 16 is very good.

Since Ryanair is the Spirit airline of Ireland (who as noted didn’t qualify) all they’ve done is further drain their customer base. Good job guys.

Pretty sure they haven’t even podiumed in the last decade of World Field Target Championships and by results I’m inclined to believe there is an inverse relationship amongst first world nations between proficiency in soccer vs riflery and getting ones ass kicked vs administering ass kickings...

What was that about being the speed bump on the road to France?
