So glad it's over after the red card nonsense. Most people around me agreed that even tho we thought the card itself was a bad call, the rescission was ridiculous and made us look like shmucks. Then you had the others...

Anyway take another L, Donald.

This is pretty much where I landed. After Trump's call about the red card any victory would have been tainted. I'm glad the issue can be put to rest now. At the very least, this USA team seemed to generate a lot of hype and interest in the sport. Hopefully next World Cup our participation won't be disgraced by our shameful politics.

I'm one of those boring "protect the players" people so my only complaint about the card as issued is that it isn't called that tight all the time when it should be.
