Spain beat Argentina to win the World Cup, capping off a record-breaking tournament that U.S. President Donald Trump was quick to claim credit for. So-called "King of the North" Andy Burnham becomes t
Really?!? A U turn decision regarding a red card in football, after political intervention?!? Fists and kicks in a final by sour losers, tanning the biggest world sport’s with a series of tantrums and misbehaviours from Messi’s Argentina team?!? Did not see the game but hearing your description is flabbergasting, what a disappointment! Shameful!
What a disgrace this "president" is! He interfered at FIFA to get rid of the card. And he had to be "dragged off the stage" while trying to bomb the winners photo. And the world is watching. Same time soldiers die and are wounded in a unlawful war. So sad 😢😢😢
I know how I"m going to remember it. A cynical and staggeringly inappropriate peace prize. A what? Yeah, a peace prize. And the president of the US phoning up his fellow corrupt president of FIFA to get a red card overturned for no particular reason other than y'know USA.

Wait, how does the credit actually work in these situations? Is there some kind of official process for hosting duties, or is he just claiming it because it's on US soil? Either way, Spain winning sounds like an insane finish!

It’s wild how politics always finds a way to crash the party, even at the World Cup. I really hope the focus stays on the athletes and the game itself rather than who is trying to take credit for it. Spain winning is huge, but the noise around it all feels a bit exhausting already.
