Belgium did the world a favour yesterday.
By defeating the United States at the world cup they eliminated the possibility of having that team's victory be stained by corruption. It also gave the rest of us the chance the enjoy a little satisfaction in seeing yet again that what Trump touches turns rancid.
FIFA's nefarious shenanigans are well documented and seeing Infantino handing the criminal Trump a fake peace prize made us all more than a little queazy. It made the US elimination yesterday feel all the more just.
The striker Balogun is of Nigerian extraction and holds 3 citizenships. He was born in the US which is what qualified him for the team. The irony is that the very same birthright citizenship granted by the 14th ammendment is what Trump wanted the supreme court to overturn.
You can't make this stuff up.
