A couple of times the announcers for the American Fox broadcast said that the bronze game was like an NBA All Star game where no one played defense....and these were Brits making the reference.....play-by-play announcer Darren Fletcher and match analyst Owen Hargreaves.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Mon Jul 20, 2026 6:38 amInteresting, maybe i have the wrong take on it. I was thinking it was basically a cruel thing to put players through in order to create another game to broadcast. But maybe the players enjoy it, like a release. An American version, Americans like points lol
See where Donald joined the Spanish players in hoisting the trophy, that guy is unbelievableHistorically, third place games have typically been high scoring, wide open, and free-flowing, but England and France took that to another level on Saturday at Miami Stadium![]()

Supposedly he was photoshopped out of the pictures lol
However, Trump lingered on the podium for part of Spain's celebration, despite Infantino's apparent efforts to usher him off the stage that had been set up in the middle of the pitch.
I don't know why they don't just make a goal worth like six points. Then soccer would no longer be low scoring and americans would love it. Wheres the hard part?It wasn't immediately clear whether Trump had been photoshopped out of Spain's posted photo or if the team had simply taken a shot from later in the celebration – from after Trump and Infantino eventually left the stage – to post to its main account
