The author expresses joy over the US's loss in a football match, attributing it to cheating facilitated by their president. They suggest that a reckoning for those involved might occur, but also acknowledge the possibility of impunity. The author humorously likens the global support for Belgium to rally against an aggressor. They state that the US was eliminated by a superior Belgian team after President Trump allegedly intervened with FIFA to overturn a red card. This alleged action is presented as evidence of the US cheating at football. The author criticizes American commentators for attempting to use the term "shithousery," suggesting it's not a concept they understand. Instead, they propose "Whitehousery" as a more fitting term for such actions. The piece concludes by advising readers to enjoy the moment. Marina Hyde is identified as the author and a Guardian columnist.
