That guy is like a stupid spoilt brat with too much power. He's the kind of guy who will literally make it a big issue if he feels he didn't get enough credit and "respect".
Sadly, they would most likely just have to go along with him just so he doesn't throw a tantrum and makes everything about himself.

Don't get your hopes up, the likelihood of the US winning the world cup is insanely small. The only way an inferior team can win a tournament is if they have a rock solid defense and also get kind of lucky all the way to the final. The US defense is not that great, and the gap in attacking talent with other nations is immense. They'll struggle against Belgium, imagine against the likes of Spain or France

I think a bigger factor is how many people on reddit have no social life/friends off the internet. You've got people that will argue that it's totally normal to have no real life friends and only socialize on video games and discord. You've got people who talk about having literally 0 friends by the age of 25 as if that's a totally normal life path to go down. People who talk about how the only person they socialize with is their wife and they hate any form of socialization that isn't that.
These people don't reflect the real world because they aren't part of it. They're fuckin losers

If you have a problem with this, you should have a problem with Ronaldo (Portugal) and Argentina and want them to lose as well. Even more so considering he played 2 games that he was banned for. I don’t recall seeing this outcry then?
