| | 昨晚美國隊在1/16淘汰賽中，以1:4慘敗給比利時隊，你可以說這是 poetic justice，也可以說這是 trump curse。
一方面，川普兩屆總統任上，但凡被川普這根攪屎棍碰過的球隊，無論發生在NFL，還是NBA, 還是NHL，還是Gulf .....無一例外，全部輸掉。 
川普這個喪門星，這次又來禍禍美國足球隊！
另一方面，什麼叫哀兵必勝？比利時戰前，歐洲足協專門在官網上打出“為正義而戰，為歐洲而戰”的公告，全世界的球迷更是吹響了“今晚我們都是比利時人的”的集結號。
比利時隊在比賽中，像是被川普打了雞血，踢出如此賞心悅目的攻勢足球，還要追溯到16年前以德布勞內，阿扎爾，孔帕尼等超級巨星為代表的黃金一代。
the way they played，下場可以硬剛表現平平的西班牙了。所以，比利時隊真應該感謝川普。
再看看美國隊：
美國隊10號主力，被稱為 American Captain 的普利西奇，僅僅上半場就出現11次傳接球失誤，worst game of his life。
美國隊門將，made one of the most stupid mistake in world cup history，成為全世界球迷的笑柄。
balogun，這個紅牌風波的主角，這個birthright citizenship的黑人球員，在場上玩隱身術，總共射門一次.....偏出。
我只能說，trump curse，徹底打崩了美國隊賽前的心態。否則無法解釋這些令人匪夷所思的失誤與失態。
在 trump curse 的加持下，美國隊不僅輸球又輸人，淪為全世界的笑柄；更為雪上加霜的是，對 FIFA 與川普狼狽為奸牆裂不滿的歐洲足協，已經把美國隊全體球員放入黑名單，基本上斷絕了美國球員加盟歐洲五大聯賽的任何希望。
歐協：小樣！治不了FIFA與川普，還治不了美國隊？！
川普會為美國球員站台嗎？
HELL NO！
這貨就是個 attention holic。丫才不 care 球員的福祉與未來，只要媒體與公眾的注意力都在丫身上就行。
另外，看了一下朋友轉發的川普在白宮吹牛B，說他如何干預 FIFA，撤銷 Balogun 紅牌的視頻，尼瑪，神馬叫傲慢無知愚蠢傻逼的十次方，我簡直無鹽以兌。
用中文翻譯一下：
川普：紅牌罰下，已經受到懲罰。為什麼下一場還要懲罰，不讓上場？這特麼什麼規矩？不公平！所以，我要求FIFA改正了。
這讓我想起韓復榘看籃球賽，看不下去了，破口大罵：一堆鳥人搶一個球，累不累！給他們一人一個球，好好玩！
ZT: Belgium brutally trolls U.S., Trump's FIFA intervention, following 4-1 World Cup win
If there is such a thing as the Trump Curse, it received one of its strongest pieces of evidence yet on Monday night.
After President Trump intervened (by his own account) to get FIFA to suspend American star Folarin Balogun's one-game ban so that he could play in the Round of 16, the USMNT promptly laid a giant egg in primetime, getting blown out by the Belgians.
Adding insult to injury, with the game already well in hand, Belgium went up 4-1 in the 93rd minute thanks to a strike from Romelu Lukaku. As he celebrated, Lukaku gestured to the pro-American crowd at Seattle Stadium, as if to say he couldn't hear them anymore.
After the match, the official X account of the Belgian men's national team shared those images, capping them with a two-word caption: “Overturn this.” 
It was icing on the cake for Belgian fans and the Royal Belgian Football Association, which made its feelings known about FIFA's shocking reversal of the one-game ban and appealed the decision (which was denied).
“To date, the RBFA has still not received any grounds for this decision, nor has it received the information it has been requesting since the start of this procedure for a copy of this decision and the motivation declaring the player eligible as well as the referee's report,” the Belgian body said in a statement. “Which is a breach of FIFA regulations.
“The RBFA has informed the United States Soccer Federation that it contests the eligibility of the player, should the player be listed on the referee's team sheet. This leaves all further actions open.”
Turns out, the only action needed took place on the pitch. Belgium took a 1-0 lead on a goal by Charles De Ketelaere nine minutes into the match. USMNT's Malik Tillman tied things up at the 31-minute mark, but De Ketelaere quickly gave the Red Devils the lead once more. They never looked back, extending it to a 3-1 lead following a monumental gaffe by American goalie Matt Freese in the second half before Lukaku iced things in stoppage time.
“Some will dance around it. I'll say it. The intervention of the president in the suspension of U.S. striker Flo Balogun's suspension for the game killed the vibe,” wrote PFT's Mike Florio.
“It removed the justifiable chip on the U.S. team's shoulder arising from an unwarranted red card on Balogun and shifted it to Belgium's squad. The Belgian players had something extra. The U.S. team simply couldn't match it.”
While the Trump administration and the U.S. pulled every lever to regain the advantage, it was Belgium that came away with the last laugh.
