UEFA said that FIFA, by making an exception with Balogun and doing so in the middle of the World Cup, has put the integrity of the game "at stake" and set a precedent.
"Football, like any other sports, relies on rules, which are the basis for fair, honest and transparent competition," the UEFA statement added.
"Sometimes rules are open to interpretation. In this case not. A minimum automatic suspension of one match following a red card is not a discretionary option and does not require the decision of a competent body to be enacted.”
And the way they are dumb ,they didn't think Spar can sue them for defaming their store implying that all along spar hired 15 000 illigal immigrants 😂🤣🤣🤣when consciousness leave a person,it doesn't say goodbye!!
🚨🗣 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Jurgen Klopp on Donald Trump calling Gianni Infantino directly:
"If that really was the case, then that's crazy. Let's just say this is our game, not theirs."
"These two people, who both have no idea about football, should have nothing to do with that."
"That was a red card. There are no two ways about it. We're sorry for Balogun because he didn't mean to do it. But that's what the rules say."
FIFA won’t intervene when Iran is forced to relocate to Mexico and banned from training in the U.S., but they’ll break their own rules to reinstate a U.S. player.
According to xenophobic South Africans, foreigners are black people only. Thailand has over 5 million economic migrants from Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos & Vietnam who look like Thai people. But because she didn’t see blacks, she xenophobically concluded that there are no foreigners
Just to be clear, then. FIFA:
1) can't possibly intervene when Iran are forced to move, a referee is denied a visa, or fans are barred from the USA
2) can absolutely intervene when a decision goes against the USA that Donald Trump doesn't like
Smashing. All know where we stand
@virdzsH@markgoldbridge The current Egypt gaffer played with his twin or was it just a brother... They were 🔥! Mo is legendary, but when you count Egypts 7 CAF titles, they had some huge players along the way!
Gary Lineker on Gaza, "It's the worst thing I have seen in my lifetime. Constant images day in, day out of children losing their lives."
"But the minute you raise your voice against it you get accused of being a supporter of Hamas."
🚨 Drogba on Cape Verde after Argentina’s win:
🗣️ Reporter:
“Argentina are through, but what did you make of Cape Verde?”
🗣️ Drogba:
“I don’t remember watching a team play Argentina with so little fear. Argentina scored. Cape Verde answered. Argentina scored again. Cape Verde answered with probably the best goal of the tournament.
At no point did they play like a team that believed they were supposed to lose. That’s what impressed me.
Before this tournament people asked me who the surprise package would be. Some said Croatia. Some said Japan. I don’t think anyone expected Cape Verde.
They played Uruguay. They played Spain. They played Argentina. And somehow every game felt like the other team had to earn it. They may be going home.…but they’ve made the whole football world remember their name.”
🇮🇷 As world leaders landed in Tehran for Khamenei’s funeral, they were met with a memorial for the Minab school attack inside the airport.
Messaging doesn’t get more deliberate than this.
