I don’t think OP was making fun of the people who died at all. Rather this is probably how Trump (a demented narcissist btw) probably sees this whole situation. We gotta have some room of humor. I would agree with you if OPs joke was just “9/11 lol” but there’s a lot of context here.

You’d think he’d have learned his lesson from the Knicks game. I mean no, obviously he didn’t learn his lesson, but other people should have predicted what would happen because he destroys everything he touches.

You’d think he’d have learned his lesson from the Knicks game
That’s implying he’s capable of learning the lesson and not just lashing out because that dementia-ridden puddle where a brain is usually located can’t comprehend he’s not 100% right all the time

most likely, the usa team isnt going to be taken seriously now, if any of the players as aspires to become a player for another country, if thats even possible.
its_prolly_fine@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Actually our team only has 7 players that are from Major League Soccer.
If someone has duel citizenship, isn’t good enough to make the national team where they live, they will definitely be able to make the USA team.
DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
As an American I approve.
The US team played like shit and our corrupt pedophile president pulled strings to alter the odds.
And the last thing we need is another win the Pedophile-In-Chief can steal valor from and portray as his own for political gain.
YeahIgotskills2@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s a shame, as there was actually some goodwill towards the US team from the rest of the world, out of respect to the hosts and an ability to separate them from the insanely run government. Then he steps in, starts fucking with the rules and most of that evaporated.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
it only further deligitimizes a US football team playing against other countries in the future, since nobody will take them seriously now, and likely call out the us team out more once THE PEDOPHILE is gone from WH.

US played badly. That first goal was just embarrassing. The third one was even worse. Belgium absolutely dominated.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
The fourth was extremely embarrassing as well, although who cares at that point. There’s a defender there watching Lukaku literally flat-footed, even though there was nobody else around for him to guard.
At least with the header we had two defenders closely marking the guy, even though that just made it an even more spectacular goal.
SalamiDommie@lemmus.org 2 weeks ago
The extra minutes goal… Man, it really would have been better if they put us down at 1-3 instead of 1-4.
Oh well, we’ll just go back to being awesome at everything else.
merc@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
What’s funny about this to me is that some of the US fans were talking like they thought they had a real shot this year. They always think that the American team is better than it really is. But, they were knocked out in the Round of 16, which is normally the first knockout round of the World Cup.
Even a Belgian team with almost no members of the “golden generation” was much better than them.
JargonWagon@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Most people in the US didn’t realize there was even a US team in the World Cup at all. Any who thought they had a “real shot” are definitely i the minority, and they exist in every country.
merc@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
The kinds of people I’m talking about are ones who have a local MLS team whose matches they attend, but they also have a favourite European team… and yet, somehow they don’t realize the vast gulf in quality between a player for Real Salt Lake and Real Madrid.
Timothy Tillman? He wasn’t good enough for any club in the Bundesliga, but he plays for LAFC. He should do fine in a midfield battle against Kevin de Bruyne and Youri Tielemans!
FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
They’re 'Muricans
They think they are special, just because
I mean, they’re “special”…
But they genuinely can’t understand why the civilised world sneers at them

I’m not sure the rest of the world understands how little Americans care about this sport. I’m not surprised our team sucks Image
NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
You can think what you like, I for example think the rest of the world understands perfectly well that soccer isn’t one of your primary sports.
For a sport in its infancy in your country, I didn’t think the US team were that bad
Atomic@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
It actually is one of the primary sports for women in the US. And their womens team is one of the best, having won the world cup 4 times, 91, 99, 15 and 19
And for 1 in 4 sportsfans to follow football in the US isnt THAT bad. More than i expected.
Squirrelanna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
That’s even more scathing haha
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
What amuses me is the soccer fans here who think we’re going to get better. I first encountered this in '94 when we (the US) hosted the world cup and got spanked by a Brazil team playing with 10 players. It’s like Indians saying they’re going to be good at basketball soon (they aren’t, because they love cricket).
driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 2 weeks ago
All American sports are dying because of private equity:
elucubra@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
So, because they love cricket, they can’t love basketball? Spain, which has 2 orders of magnitude less the population, is a powerhouse both in football and basketball.
merc@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I think the US is going to get better, but I don’t think they’ll be challenging any of the global powerhouses. Soccer / futbol is getting more and more popular over time. And, typically, when a country hosts the world cup, 10-15 years later there’s a new group of players who were inspired by the tournament and who have spent the time since then focusing on it.
merc@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I wonder if there’s any country above 84%. Some small countries like Bosnia seem even more obsessed than Brazil, but they have such a small population that they don’t have the reputation of Brazil.
YawningNostalgia@thelemmy.club 2 weeks ago
The problem with the current Brazil team is that they all play like jugglers. Like yeah man it’s super cool that you can pull nifty tricks while you’re juggling with your friends at the beach, but that’s not the game you’re in now so lock in
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Let’s say the adult population is 250 million. 25% of 250 million is 62.5 million people. That is almost as many people that live in France. And way more people than Norway, Netherlands and Portugal combined. Yet these three countries have a world class national team and produce top players.
It’s not that not enough Americans care it is the sports college system for this sport doesn’t work to create elite players. I bet California has enough people interested in the sport to replicate the European promotion and relegation system for a comprehensive multi level amateur league system to produce top players. Like if a tiny nation as Portugal can do it a rich state as California with more inhabitants can probably do it too.
chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Not all adults are sports fans though, so those numbers are still inflated. Proportions may still work though. While I have no issues with sports, understand people following them and enjoy playing them, I don’t follow any sports myself. There are people like me and people who do the tired scoffing “sportsball” joke all around in the us (not like our interests are any less affordable).

That third goal of their was so embarrassing. Like the goalie came all the way out of the box(dunno if that’s the right word) that Belgium could leisurely roll the ball in. Also trump poisons everything he touches.

Don’t tempt him. One call is all it takes for Fifa to suddenly declare that actually the USA won. Turns out refs missed 87 fouls by the Belgian team.

greedytacothief@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
I don’t think it’s weird or uncommon for trump to ask FIFA to reconsider a red card. He’s a politician doing politics there. It is weird for FIFA to go along with it though, I would be upset at FIFA if they hadn’t already proven how corrupt they are in the past.

Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
You’re right but also extremely wrong:
Unbeknownst to most, Belgium was one of the absolute WORST colonial powers back in the day, which deserves all the condemnation in the world.
That being said, MODERN DAY Belgium isn’t doing any of that, much less the national football team.
