On Monday, Team USA suffered a 4-1 defeat to Belgium in the World Cup, and on Tuesday the late night comedy shows knew who to blame: President Trump.

Actress and comedian Tiffany Haddish kicked off ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!’s guest-hosted summertime shows on Monday by claiming that opposition to Team USA striker Folarin Balogun’s red card was the first time President Trump has “ever defended a black person.” Similarly, when weather delayed Trump’s 4th of July festivities, Haddish found it ironic that the MAGA crowds had to take…

The media’s attempts to suck the fun out of the World Cup are not confined to television. They extend to the local papers of the host cities as well.
