HUNGRY GERALD

Sadly, because of unspeakable Trump interference, HG had to root against the USA in its World Cup soccer game against Belgium. It was no contest—Belgium winning, handily, 4-1. HG hopes the game stiffens the spine of FIFA and it never again allows a demagogue like Trump  to interfere with a penalty ruling. International  soccer is about skill, sportsmanship and respect for every nation—big and small.  Witness Cabo Verde’s efforts . Yes,  Pele. It”s (“a beautiful game”). Let’s preserve it. (As a side-note: Trump has been a curse for athletic teams that he takes an interest in — witness Knicks game three loss when Trump attended.)
