Rutte counters Biden – “Sorry Joe, football won”
Netherlands counter absurd US goal and are in the quarterfinals – the highlights in the video
The Netherlands deservedly beat the USA and reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup. An absurd goal by the Americans briefly creates suspense in the closing stages, but the Dutch find a quick answer. The highlights in the video.
His team wins, Mark Rutte shows humor. On Twitter, the Dutch Prime Minister responded to a previous tweet by US President Joe Biden after the Oranje team’s victory over the USA. It’s also a very emotional discussion.
PPoliticians and athletes are always a good combination when things are going well. It is more than usual in the USA that a president wants to dust off a bit of charisma from the success of national sports heroes.
At the nomination conventions of the parties before presidential elections, athletes are regularly on the stage and support the candidate they trust. US President Joe Biden appears close to announcing his candidacy for a second term. That’s where football comes in handy!
Shot in video by US Captain Tyler Adams. After a cut, the ball bounces in front of Joe Biden, who catches it and says his greeting to the US kickers before their round of 16 into the camera: “It’s called soccer, go USA!” .
In the end, however, the American footballers lost 3-1, fighting hard but without the footballing skills to really pose a threat to the Dutch team.
And under the top fan’s tweet, there’s a discussion about whether it really shouldn’t be called football. Countless users tagged a footballer’s foot and the ball in photos, arguing that it should be called “football” more than any other sport.
Perhaps the driest tweet comes from Mark Rutte, Prime Minister of the winning team in the Netherlands. “Sorry Joe, football won,” he tweeted (“Sorry Joe, football won.”)
