Brilliant Michael!! As an American, I'm totally ashamed of my nation's ruling junta and its desire to put a thumb on the scales of everything.
From a football perspective, I felt the red card was excessive given the actual event, but in fact, that happens in sports ... in EVERY refereed sport on this planet.
From my perspective, I believe if the USMNT had any class whatsoever, it would not start Balogun at least until after halftime, or even, at all. This flurry of activities around him have validated the serious corruption in FIFA as well as in the current US administration with blinding clarity.
I agree 100% about referred sports. I have two granddaughters. One ice skates. The other dives. Both girls are at the mercy of judging. So come Olympic time, I don't watch either event.
What's more corrupt than FIFA? NASCAR. In NASCAR has losers and cheaters.
I learned years ago, that pro sports is just another form of entertainment.... to make money. The NFL is MEF; the Managed Entertainment League.
Mouth wash after all that ass kissing?! or is he just thirsty from creating the lauded FIFA Peace Prize already awarded Trump? Hook line and sinker into assholedom!!! 🤮 🤮
Just looking at your previous books and thinking about how remarkable your work has been regarding Trump and the US, really outstanding. So much perspective, Canadian of course but I think you have an even broader point of view
How darn fitting is that cartoon? It's sadly perfect Sir.
Trump just can't help himself. Now he has an influence on the tournament and is so proud of it. He and his FIFA buddy have tainted and eroded any credibility it had. All those talented players from all over the globe deserved so much better.
Now 100% calls into question the officiating for the US match v Belgium - hosted in US. But if you thought overturning the card was unbelievable, remember the awarding of the FIFA Peace Prize? It was a foreshadowing..
OK that is brilliant political cartooning satire.
Is this Brad Boudreau?
Yes, I remember .
The Brad I speak of was my neighbour growing up.
Thank you.

Thank you. My last name is Belgium, so I always followed Belgium during the World Cup unless Canada is still in it.
Yes! I agree. This djt guy always finds a way to make things worse.
Why not give FIFA a RED CARD?

Another brilliant cartoon Michael!
Trump truly ruins everything he touches. No matter the outcome of the US vs. Belgium match, he has ruined it.
He Really does.

ETTD Everything Trump Touches Dies.

If winning is everything.. this is what Rump must do to survive. Cheat. Lie. Betray. Bankrupt.
What a joke FIFA just became-AGAIN! If the US team allows this kid to play--they too have drank the Kool-aid! One player does not a team make!!!
The difference between Jim Jones and Donald Trump is Trump would charge for the Kool-Aid.
Charge I think you meant. Funny.
Thanks for the assist!
😄😁😆😅..Another classic! I hope you publish a coffee table type book of your eork!
I'm thinking about it.
That's a great idea, Sher.
😉😊
Maybe we can start a group to help MdA choose his best ones! Every one of his pieces is so great, it will be a lot of work to curate!
I'm going to take your advice and start a chat and see how successful this is. Great is Anne. I send a link here.

Good idea…you're right…they all are good in my view!
That;s a great idea. I could start of post here.

Just go play golf Orange MF'r
I love all of your work, but some just stand out as grand slam home runs. Like this one! It delivers the message of collusion loud and clear. Love it!
Very good use of the metaphor. All the better that it is orange.
Oh! Makes me sick. The jackass went along with the pedophile. No honor.
That is perfect, Michael! That Cool-Aid really gets around…..
Well done. SMH. So bad for trust in institutions...
