We Didn’t Believe In A Trump Curse… Until Last Night

It was a devastating, and yes, embarrassing loss for the U.S. Men last night as they faced off against Belgium in the round of 16 at the World Cup. We were the talk of the world for all the wrong reasons for most of the day and certainly in the hours leading up to the match. Many are now pointing to the added pressure from Trump, who placed a call to the FIFA president , which ultimately led to our star striker being allowed to play despite receiving a red card in the previous game. While having Flo Balogun on the field seemed like an advantage, turns out it wasn’t, and perhaps even shifted the team’s energy knowing the world was outraged by it. Some are pointing out several recent sporting events Trump has attended, that have resulted in losses, including Game 3 of the NBA Finals, where the Knicks lost their only game of the series.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
