I assumed but fake Trump tweets are so relevant that they transcend obviousness. I almost changed "Croatians" to "Mexicans" but thought it would look too much like a lame gotcha moment.

England behind after four minutes. Not looking good ... Belgium definitely the better team from the off.

Hey, England thought they had it all wrapped up in the first four minutes vs. Croatia. I wouldn't lose hope.

But Belgium does look good I have to admit.

All over. Guess Fluff's drowning his sorrows. Didn't deserve it; didn't even try. A sad end to a damn fine campaign.

I would say it's a much bigger story that a country of 4 million people wins a world cup, than if a country that invented football, has all the money in the world to invest in the development of its players and the best possible conditions in the world wins it. It already is a massive story everywhere that we are in the final and I can assure you, lots of people are rooting for us.

He's Canadian, which is to say that he's American but nobody cares. Never bet on someone like him caring about anything of substance. As of yesterday I'm with you, homie.
