World Cup losers Argentina make last petulant act : Cuti Romero snubs Trump
The Donald was, of course, on the podium along with FIFA President Gianni Infantino and other dignitaries, including Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum and Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney, to present runners-up medals to Argentina.
Our man Cristian Romero shook hands with Infantino (who gave him his medal) but looked straight ahead and walked past Trump without any eye contact or handshake, instead greeting Sheinbaum and Carney.
Naturally, Trump is a divisive figure, and some will react to the moment with exaggerated joy, simply because it endorses their view of the President.
Cuti is seen as a patriot, but generally viewed as apolitical; but twinned with the ‘Malvinas’, bedsheet protest, this will be the World Cup remembered as the one that Argentina made their feelings known.
Sorry, after the shitshow they put on this morning with the 3 yrs old's response to losing, all tantrums and sulks, they've lost any grounds they might have had for people to take notice of their 'feelings'. Bunch of arrogant twats...
Frankly I could care less whether Romero deliberately snubbed Trump or not. Trump evidently thought it was fine to ... a) Break FIFA disciplinary rules and protocols to egregiously lobby the president of FIFA for the reinstatement of a US player who had been correctly given a one game suspension for a red card ... b) Endorsed Argentina's overtly political gesture in support of their delusional claims to a group of islands they have never even owned, let alone governed, again in flagrant contravention of FIFA rules. Consequently the freedom of expression guaranteed under the First Amendment, being exercised by Cuti Romero, in ignoring the narcissistic, egomaniacal, orange tinted wind-bag, seems entirely apropos!
