Rarely do I ever care about football (or soccer if you must insist) but this is easily the most deserved loss I have ever witnessed. To still get absolutely curbstomped despite that brazen level of open corruption in your favour... If there is a more poetic resolution, I certainly can't think of it.
It looks... normal... unless you mean the lack of border above the "United States" part which I have seen maps do similar before so the words are easier to read. This doesn't scream AI though.
I'm from the USA & I hate Trump with every fiber of my being. I looked at the world cup as a reason for folks from around the world to come together and enjoy something despite horrible leaders like Trump. Nope. He had to shit on that too. I wish he'd just die already!!!
I believe something like 95% of the world are with you on that (despite what they say about how America is so beloved and respected once again), so you can feel reassured!
I feel bad for our team (USA) for having to have their name tarnished because our fat f@ck of a "president" had to meddle in this event by trying to cheat. Just keep in mind that these guys tarin hard for this and they are not the ones that tried to cheat. I watched the game and Belgium played very well and they certainly deserved that win. Also wtf was up with the USA goalie?
Yes it's sad. The team had nothing to do with all of this. They wanted to show what they were capable of. They just wanted to kick the ball. The World Cup is a lifetime event for any soccer player, I feel sorry for them.
I'm afraid very little will be changed back, even if power changes hands. Maybe the most egregious things. But most will be treated as the new normal. Unless the country gets an actual progressive party - and the Dems will be fighting that harder than they ever fought trumpism.
Hank Greene did a good video on it. International names of things vs national names of things. Like duetschland vs Germany and such. This one was just done with arrogance and pointlessness rather than trying to make something pronounceable by the local yokels.
That's a good start. But you know just as well as I do that he's largely a symptom of a deeply broken system and that if y'all don't make the point early, often and incessantly that this is just the first step, people are going to stop paying attention the second a new paint job is slapped onto your political scene. My main concern since 2016 was "what if the next one is just as evil as Trump w/o the massive ineptitude?" Imagine a Miller or McConnel w/o the charisma of a wet sock.
Your fragility is showing friend, youre getting worked up and trying to remove their culpability because I came from a trauma informed perspective to point out the insensitivity of eliciting colonial imagery given Belgium's history. My nations past wrongs doesnt remove the other's wrongs.
As an educated anti-colonialist I am not only aware of historical trauma but I seek to address and remove the subversive systemic oppresion that still continues today.
Which is why I called them out for it...
Yet, you have the nerve to say I live in a glass house, after you couldn't cope with my acknowledgement of colonialism. Your fragility led you to attack me for decolonizing.
Riiight, that's what you were doing. Bravely calling out the crimes of Leopold 2 who died in 1909! Acknowledging Belgian colonialism in Congo which ended in 1960. You are such a hero!
And your American walls are only that transparent because you let the world see how free you are. That ain't glass! No sir.
You really think you're doing something great by being the butthurt American who immediately shits on a country that just beat you in football while you guys today -- TODAY, not decades and decades ago -- are the imperialists. Amazing. Decolonize myself? How about go fuck yourself and your baseless assumptions about me. And while we're at it, fuck your fascist president and your weak people too. Get rid of your fascists who rule you today instead of lecturing me. You don't get to do that. Cunt.

I would suggest that Belgium should be given Florida... if they want it.
abrubtopinion
As a Floridian I welcome our Belgium overlords. I know it'll mean constant dragging by France. I'm ok with that.

just casually renaming geographic features like it's no big deal
SleepyKitten
Highly likely he forgot the actual name of it and since he can never be wrong, he wants to rename it to something he can remember.

Previously I've said the only good thing to come from Belgium is beer, but this is good, too =)

Karma's a bitch. This is what you get for trying to cheat in Soccer (not Football!), USA.
Go, Belgique / België!

It's not the "Gulf of Belgium"... It's the "(Huge) Gulf of America's Loss to Belgium".
I am now leaving my house to go to Denny's, where I'm going order the "F##k Those Guys" waffles with a side of spilled milk to cry in. *sniff*

i think by aztec rules they actually get to do this
Resistance1000
I hope Belgium goes on to win the World Cup so tRump either has to hand them the trophy or TACO with a bullshit excuse.
demosteness
You Americans realize the whole world name that as the Gulf of Mexico? Just in case you live in a dystopian country.

I wonder if they're gonna change it back when that orange shit stain croaks

I hope they do it while he's still alive just to get him so upset that he shits himself

Well first we gotta clear out all the Confederates that have been polluting our nation with bigotry and nonsense.

wdym change it back, literally only americans call it the gulf of america, who cares if one country decides to be uneducated

I imagine it was never recognized except on the WH.gov site probably hosted on a doge server somewhere

Belgian players mocking the trump shuffle
demosteness
They try to remove it. Too late, I saw it already. The world saw it. Remove this Donald.
Subtilico
Good, trump should be mocked much more. Only dumbfucks can believe you get anywhere with asskissing narcissistic idiots like that.

Ah yes, the Trump Shuffle, the White Man Mambo, the Jerking-off Giraffes

I don’t think there’s a time period where that dance looked a anything but foolish.

If you want to continue your support of colonization through participation in epistemologies of ignorance so be it.

But if you actual want to make an impact you have to unlearn and decolonize yourself first.
