The Belgium men’s soccer team just embarrassed the USA men’s national team, dominating them in their Round of 16 World Cup showdown on the United States’ home soil.
Belgium finished with a 4-1 win, with the fourth and final goal coming from star striker Romelo Lukaku in stoppage time.
Right after Lukaku scored this goal, he and many other members of Belgium’s roster celebrated by doing the iconic Donald Trump dance in a circle together.
President Donald Trump has been a big topic of discussion around the World Cup, as he was a key part in getting USA striker Folarin Balogun’s red card from USA’s Round of 32 game suspended, so that he was able to play against Belgium on Monday.
Ultimately, that decision didn’t change anything about Monday’s outcome, as Balogun wasn’t able to get anything going against Belgium. And the Belgian side (who was outraged about Trump’s intervention) trolled all of the United States with this dance celebration.
When Trump was asked about speaking with asked FIFA supremo Gianni Infantino on Monday, he said “I didn’t tell [Infantino] what to do. I can’t tell him what to do, but — and I don’t believe he made the decision. I think it was a committee that made the decision, and they made the right decision — because number one, it wasn’t a foul, and you want to see a game with your best players.”
This one will be hard for USA to recover—both the devastating loss and the Donald Trump dance by Belgium.
