WORLD CUP ROCKS

This World Cup is turning out to be one of the most exciting that we've seen since 2002. Cristiano Ronaldo and Romelu Lukaku are drilling the ball into the nets with each registering four goals in two contests. To date 71 goals have been scored resulting in 2.45 per game. Attendance is solid with 1,357,950 an average of 46,826 per match.

All of the teams are leaving it all on the field with physical play and a rapid pace. The tempo is a major factor in eliminating the weak from the strong.

The Brazil, Costa Rica game was electrifying as the Central American's battled with tremendous heart but Brazil swarmed them in the box during added time notching two goals for a 2-0 result.

Neymar notched his first World Cup goal 90 (+7) and departed with a smile on his face eliminating the frown following their 1-1 draw to Switzerland. Coutinho 90 (+1) continues to be solid in scoring his second goal in two games.

Costa Rica goal keeper Keylor Navas was outstanding in net stopping everything that came at him during the first 90 minutes. As valiant as his effort was the he will have to return to his job with Real Madrid while Brazil must wait it out to see who will go through to the final 16. Their next opponent is Serbia on June 27.

The real star of the competition is the VAR technology. Old heads seem to have a problem with it but its use has saved many arguments since there have been virtually zero complaints for its use from those on the pitch.

Russia is proving to be the big surprise of the World Cup and playing above their weight with two wins and is certain to go through to the final 16. In their first game they squashed Saudi Arabia 5-0. They followed that up with a 3-1 win against Egypt.

Thus far the Russians have spent $14.2 billion on the event making it the most expensive World Cup in history. The Russians were without the usual construction controversies that have erupted in previous events with Brazil being the most unprepared.

Fans from around the world have nothing but praise about Russia and how friendly the Russian people are.

The same in reverse applies as the Russians are elated about the foreigners that came to their country. Many have expressed how friendly the visitors are.

As much as the US government depicts Russia as being a threat to world peace the World Cup hosts as proving that to be another US government LIE and are proving to be outstanding hosts for the premier event of the BEAUTIFUL GAME.

NOTE: Do we need to hear crooked Hillary Clinton yelling THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING, THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING? Ahhhhhh…. NOPE

Is fear a factor for you? Not for us… and those that came to Russia for the World Cup. Hillary, Hillary!!!….. (:).

TRUMP DISSED BY SPORTS CHAMPIONS

As Donald Trump continues to divide the world with his threats and racist actions championship teams in America are breaking tradition by refusing to visit the White House to be congratulated for their winning their titles.

The NBA title winning Golden State Warriors said they wouldn't visit Trump as did the NFL Super Bowl winning Philadelphia Eagles. The players are protesting Trump's threats and interference in professional athletes not standing for the US national anthem.

It's an ongoing protest now into its second year. Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick was the first to kneel when the anthem was played before the game. He was trying to draw attention to the numerous out of control murders of people of color by POLICE all over America. Basically it's OPEN SEASON ON NIGGERS.

Trump has had a lot to say about the protests and tried to DEFLECT THE ISSUE by saying the protesting players were disrespecting the flag and the military personnel that fought in conflicts to defend their country.

He has also said the owners of the teams SHOULD FIRE THE (protesting) BASTARDS. The problem is the MAJORITY of NFL and NBA players ARE BLACK or PEOPLE OF COLOR. It has been reported that 75% of the players in each league are BLACK.

Trump is trying to deflect the message and kill the messenger. Kaepernick is suing Trump and the players are becoming intimidated. Many of the owners are JEWS that support ISRAEL who have committed WAR CRIMES and continue to steal Palestinian land and businesses. Israeli's refer to Palestinians as ARAB SAND NIGGERS.

One result is although Kaepernick has proven to be a better player at his position no team will hire him. Many believe he is being blackballed. The weird thing is Kaepernick opted out of the final year of his contract as well as donating $2 million to organizations fighting RACIAL DISCRIMINATION.

Stephen Curry and playoff MVP Kevin Durant were the most vocal on their team. The Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins and defensive end Chris Long, who is white, made clear that they would not participate in the visit. 75% of the Eagles also stated that they would not attend. The Eagles Jewish owner said he would attend.

Trump, THE KING OF TURNAROUND, made statements that nether team would be invited after he already knew they publicly stated they would not visit him. Trump lost face while trying to save it.
