3 - 1 now ...

And the US has drawn two yellow cards.

...wonder if POTUS will complain about the US being eliminated and threaten to cancel the rest of the games in the US in a fit of pique...

'Overturn this' - Belgium mock US President Donald Trump and FIFA after USA World Cup exit​

The USA's World Cup dream came to an end in Seattle as Belgium cruised into the last eight with a 4-1 victory; Charles De Ketelaere scored twice in the first half, while Hans Vanaken and Romelu Lukaku added further goals after the break to book a quarter-final meeting with Spain

The PR circus surrounding FIFA's decision to rescind Folarin Balogun's red card and Donald Trump's involvement in the supposedly independent process had dominated the headlines ahead of the last-16 clash in Seattle. However, it appeared only to galvanise Belgium as they thrashed USA 4-1 to book a quarter-final with Spain.

And Belgium revelled in the victory, with several players mimicking Donald Trump's trademark dance moves after their fourth goal, while the team's official X account also mocked the US President and FIFA by responding to Balogun's overturned ban with the post: "Overturn this."

So a question: Algeria was eliminated. But, hypothetically speaking, if they had gone on in the tournament and beat France, would French paras have then been obliged to overthrow the French government?

Maybe move the game to Valdosta - so it's a rematch in South Georgia.
