Quote:Democrats running for Congress in New York just couldn’t bring themselves to root for America when given the easiest possible question about the World Cup.

I mean, this is about as basic a question as there is when it comes to campaigning for a seat in the United States Congress, and yet the resistance party appears to have its brains hardwired to automatically take an America-last stance at every opportunity.

During a recent PIX11 forum in the heated NY-13 Democratic primary, Rep. Adriano Espaillat and challenger Darializa Chevalier were asked who they’re rooting for to win it all on the pitch.

They fumbled the answer. Hard core. They committed a "howler" as soccer marks might say.

Rather than offering the obvious answer of the United States — in a tournament co-hosted right here in America — Espaillat named Mexico, while Chevalier chose Senegal.

How is it possible for two candidates, seeking to represent American voters, to drop the ball on such a basic test of national loyalty so spectacularly? It's Campaigning 101. If somebody hands you a baby to kiss out on the trail, you don't push it away. That's basically what these two just did.

Fortunately, the United States soccer team, on the same day that a pair of Democrats said they'd be openly rooting for Mexico or Senegal over them, went out and delivered a dominating performance against Paraguay. The 4-1 win marked the largest margin of victory in a U.S. men's World Cup match since 1930.

Look, nobody is under the illusion that the United States is a favorite to win this tournament. They've never advanced beyond the quarterfinals (2002) and have zero World Cup titles. That said, at number 15 in the FIFA world rankings, they have about as much a chance as Mexico (13) and Senegal (16).

So, it's not about predicting who might be the favorite, as I'm sure Espaillat and Chevalier will suggest was the excuse behind their pathetic answers, since the moderator did preface the question first by asking, "Who do you think will win it all?"

The odds of them even knowing where Senegal is on a map are slim to none. Hell, they'd likely struggle to find Mexico, given that they think the country has no border. They're not experts on those soccer teams. There is no insider football knowledge that would lead them to think these two are dark horse candidates for the title.

This really isn't that hard. I despise soccer, yet I will be wholeheartedly cheering on the United States in the World Cup.

Though maybe this isn't much of a surprise. The Democrats are, after all, the same group that demonized the American hockey team for the sin of celebrating their Olympic gold medals with the President of the United States. They might as well just come out and admit they're cheering for anybody other than the US of A.

Someone here told me soccer is a commie plot anyway.

Luckily the only place I’ve seen those people is on the internet. I know several people that aren’t fans of the current administration, yet are cheering for us in the World Cup. Truly has to be a miserable existence to let the TDS impact you that much. I don’t recall any of my conservative friends or conservatives online not cheering for the US in 2022 when Biden was in office.

There’s no doubt Ilhan Omar would cheer for Somalia but they were unable to cheat and steal their way into the field.

Most liberals I know follow soccer closely. They’re all rooting for the USA. As I said before I’ve been a Louisville City FC season ticket holder.

Lou City FC holds a Pride night as the Gay community is a vital supporter of soccer in Louisville. The Coopers, The Lou City supporters group, held a World Cup watch party last Friday and it was full of liberal soccer fans rooting for the USA.

As a side note Adidas has done Soccer City promotions for UofL soccer for the last decade.

I challenge her to find Senegal on a map.

While not running for congress, wasn't there some on this board, hoping the USA female team, would lose...

I believe it was because of the American hating, white hair man (looks) playing on that team

I have some liberal journalist friends who are huge soccer fans and are rooting for the U.S.

FWIW

Funny thing is the treatment all these foreign fans have gotten and storylined the Dems don't REALLY have a choice.. Their entire message about how the US is a bad place has gone up in smoke, so they really don't have a choice to root for the American team.

Just to be clear, in all fairness

There is some validity to that point, DSF.

That numbers guy for CNN is one of the best promoters of the Republican party, lol.

At what percent do they leave and go live in nogagreflexhivtroonistan?
