I stepped away from the counter to acknowledge a person I don't know well. Who's probed questioning I quickly excused myself from. Before I could ask to buy my lottery scratch off. The old man behind me just yelled out he scratched off what would have been my winning ticket it was a $500. dollar winner? After a few mins. I realized that old man had a joy in his voice he prob hasn't heard from himself in years. ANYONE WATCHING GET'S THE LESSONS THEY NEED. In the end it wasn't two strikes against me. It's another's home run. Everybody gets them?

9:48 Why the FIFA phone call crossed the line
Mr. Smith, I have been watching World Cup since 1986. FIFA is a corrupted organization in general, and this 2026 World Cup is very bad to put it mildly. Messi should have gotten a red card for a foul he committed against an Algerian player; he didn't because the organization want Argentina in the final because of Messi, and FIFA is putting referees that favor him and his teammates.

Stephen A. He knows nothing about sports, he didn’t even know what a red card was, the guy is a blight and you’re lucky he didn’t take more of a presence in Knicks win

stephen a and the left (even though stephen a isn't on the totally on the left but left leaning) will find any excuse to bring trump negative press. it was a wrong call from the start and now it was made right. end of story. and then we lost to a team we should have lost to anyway, but could of played better. the fact that if you want to talk about injustice and fifa corruption and not mention messi/argentina over mutliple games just goes to show that you don't care about injustice just whatever is negative press for trump. end of story.

Trump probably threatened to obliterate FiFA if they didn't recind the red card😂
@hagifour3451He was a good / very good athlete????? BS.... Wonder how he didn't get cut from any team???? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

@DJBIGCGMR.STEPHEN A.SMITH, 2028 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸☝️☝️☝️🌎
@DirtyMoe55Is president Trump a referee ??
@samuelahiadjipe3894Until they invest in inner city sports America will continue to be left behind in international sports. It’s clear what the recipe is to win.
@bighorse215I’m so so so sick of people acting surprised when Trump acts like he’s always publicly acted. Just sickening to listen to SAS sort of say to Trump “come on, you can’t do that.” OF COURSE Trump is gonna do that. If Trump could, he’d stop the World Cup right now, declare that the Belgium US match was unfair, and order that match replayed and replayed over and over and over until the US won. And then Trump would declare that match fair one and declare the US the winner. It’s exactly what he wanted to do with the election. Trump says only two things can exist- Either Trump wins or everyone cheated. Nothing else is possible. Either I win or y’all cheated. Either I win or y’all cheated. Nothing else is possible. I’m sick of everyone acting like he’s got character and acting surprised when he does these things.
@robj2583Stephen a smith with the easy tap in goal on trump 😂😂
@youssefben7535Preach brother! We have a real POS in office. Go Belgium!!!
@melanoma-trumpTrump is a rich spoiled brat who was never told “no” growing up. He’s the stereotypical super rich entitled spoiled brat who always got his way. And that shaped who he is. So he has 2 settings- he gets what he wants or it’s cheating and unfair. It’s just so telling that conservative men love and worship a person like this.
@robj2583Damn SAS you hate the man and his money and now he sticks up a player and he is wrong for that
@RPayneMPSBy now y'all should know Trump brings on negative energy when he sticks his nose in sports matters.
@mashabikUS was never going to win the tournament 😂
@FrederixoooCommander in Cheese Burger is unhinged
@elsoberano09If we would have won US citizens would’ve complained cause Trump got involved straight TDS at its finest
@greatgazoo2uWhen it come to sports, TRUMP is a "counterfeit Penny" and needs to stay the heck away from any team we care about. KNICKS on a win streak and as soon as he shows up, THEY LOSE!! U.S Soccer team on their way, and then TRUMP butts in and calls the FIFA president to get an officials ruling overturned quicker than he called a Dr. To get him a letter for a bogus diagnosis of "heel spurs" so he could avoid serving in the US Military! If he knows so much about sports, then he should be aware that he's the equivalent of the "black cat" that's been running around the Dallas Cowgirls" stadium - he's a LOSER is sport! hey Donnie boy....Stay the hell away from all NY TEAM sports, were trying to WIN!!
@garys2477From what I heard the Red card wasn't a fair punishment. He just tried to right the wrong. That's it! He didn't do it to guarantee a win. US soccer sucks and always has.
@D-NICE33FiFA does not have a penalty review policy in place currently presidents of countries or influential people get involved it’s not about Trump, FIFA needs to create a process
