US Men's National Team loses 4-1 to Belgium in RD of 16-Did Trump put a target on our back?
Episode notes
What's up Big Ballers Shot Callers? The World Cup continues to have amazing games and also some drama. President Trump intervened to get a red card removed from the USMNT's striker, Balogun the day before the game against Belgium. Did that put a target on our backs? Did that remotivate Belgium and wake them up? Belgium is the #9 team in the World, but they were struggling a little bit before this game. Did the US team come out flat because of it? THe US team definitely looked out of sorts from the very beginning of that game. Was the stage stlll too big to get past the RD of 16? The bright side is I think the USMNT played great overall and for the 1st time they gave the American people hope that we could go far in the World Cup. There are definitely some good things to build on from this World Cup moving forward. Argentina makes a crazy comeback against Egypt to win 3-2 after being down 0-2 late in the game. Denmark has been the surprise team. Their striker Holland has been an absolute beast! He has 7 goals in the World Cup and is in the chase for the golden boot with Messi and Mbappe. England played great to beat Mexico 3-2 after getting a Red card very early in the 2nd half and having to play with 10 men. The World Cup has just been amazing so far! A lot of close games and very competitive!
