The increasing lack of international support shown towards the United States was on full display today, as the FIFA World Cup host nation was comprehensively defeated at home.
At the halfway point of Donald Trump's second term as US President, America's global standing has never been this low since the halfway point of Donald Trump's first term as US President.
Once viewed as 'the leader of the free world' - the USA's increasingly volatile and undiplomatic treatment towards not only the their allies but also their own citizens - has resulted in never-before-seen anti-American sentiment on the world sporting stage.
This comes as Belgium secures their place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-finals with a 4-1 victory over America at Seattle Stadium.
In a rare moment of self-awareness, the heartbreak of America's football fans has been confounded after realising that the rest of the world was actually happy they lost.
Even when their opponent was arguably the most bloodied and barbaric nation in modern history, it seems that everyone was cheering for America to lose in the Round of 16 sudden-death match. Including the many countries that have been violently pillaged and slaughtered by Belgium.
Culminating in a vicious twenty year rule, The reign of King Leopold II of Belgium is widely recognised as the most brutal and dehumanising regimes in colonial history.
The King himself is remembered for treating Africa as his own personal property, ruthlessly exploiting the land, resources and native people for the extraction of rubber and ivory. The bloodshed was at a scale never before seen in modern history - with an estimated 10 million African casualties at the hands of this seemingly polite northern European country.
And even then, the entire Global South - and much of Europe and the wider Commonwealth were cheering for them for all of the 94 minutes in their match against the USA soccer team this morning.
Nearly an hour since a bloodbath victory so vicious that only Belgium could be capable of it - the world has not stopped cheering for the downfall of America.
It is not known if President Trump can turn around this very obvious shift in the global sentiment towards the USA, before the LA Olympics which will take place in the dying days of this Presidential term.
However, some would say personally intervening of refereeing decisions might not be the best approach to improving their overall standing.
