Social media was on fire after Japan beat America in football.

If there’s one thing America does better than the rest of the world, it’s play football. This country is undefeated in Super Bowls and college conference national titles.

No other nation on the planet could ever dream of having the football talent the USA does. Yet, it wasn’t enough to beat Japan.

America lost 41-20 to Japan in Edmonton in the IFAF U20 World Junior Football Championship semifinal game.

Social media erupts after Japan beats America in football.

As you can imagine, people were in a state of shock upon hearing the news, and it didn’t take long for social media to go into meltdown mode.

A very dark day for America. A very dark day for our nation, indeed. I wonder if this is what the Soviets felt like after losing the Miracle on Ice in 1980.

How in the world does any country put together a team that hits the field against America in football and wins? It makes absolutely no sense.

This is a country that has high school teams stacked with multiple future D1 players. Instead of sending some elite talent, I didn’t recognize a single name on the USA roster.

That’s a problem. We’re clearly not sending our best. I mean, what the hell is this garbage? Completely unacceptable.

There’s some moments you will remember for a lifetime. You’ll always know where you were, and I’ll never forget eating wings with the boys when we heard about this disaster. Shame on everyone involved, and we must vow to do whatever is necessary to make sure it never happens again.

As the great Joe Kinsey noted on X, there should be no limit on the resources invested to avoid this kind of embarrassment ever occurring twice.
