Funny thing about the whole red card hub bub is 99% of the world knows FIFA is corrupt — it might be the single thing people across the globe believe and tell you, regardless of if you ask — and then Trump blasts in, without any care, like the kool aid man, and does some small fry FIFA corruption, and everyone is like “Woah . The integrity of the game. It’s gone. It’s ruined forever”
@Malachians@WiseOldBHJ And Article 27 allows for FIFA to suspend red cards when they royally fuck up - which they did. It’s happened to 5 suspensions this cup. Stop lecturing people because you think being American means we don’t know the rules. Where you on here bitching about Ronaldo’s 3 game lift?
@Malachians I take it you were through the roof with all the other red card suspensions FIFA set aside for this WC? You should send in your righteous tweets on those injustices as well.
@DeanJamesAFC Dude - stop the lecturing and baseless generalization about American football fans. You are better than that. And it was never a red. That’s so off. Bizarre from you. Dude came through Flo and contact was because he put his foot where Flo was planting. Yellow at best.
@DeanJamesAFC What rule was violated here? FIFA abided by its rules - Article 27. Just like it did when it suspended other red cards (that folks didn’t bitch about). Respectfully, the global anti-American sentiment is tainting this and triggering this type of holier than thou take.
@jpooch21@MarcACaputo There were no rule change. This was pursuant to the rule that allowed the other 4 FIFA overturns in the tweet you are responding to. This is literally pursuant to a FIFA rule.
@JillianSakovits Who cares. Was the right decision. Also WC should institute an appeal policy to address this type of thing, rather on having to rely on the rule they did. Player suspensions in this tourney with no appeal is brutal.
@WeAreAustinTV Best kit leak in the history of the sport. You simply cannot top having Willie Nelson wear a 420 kit to leak the kit at his annual 4th of July show.
@3YearLetterman Chocolate, waffles, and Belgian-style beer/ale (which is their greatest contribution to the world). US has the best overall beer diversity, but their monks perfected their craft centuries ago.
🗣️ 💔 Trossard’s emotional message to Arsenal fans…
🗣️ “Arsenal will always feel like home to me. From the moment I arrived, this club embraced me, believed in me, and gave me some of the best moments of my career.
If it were entirely up to me, I’d stay here for many more years. Unfortunately, football isn’t always that simple, and sometimes decisions are made that are beyond a player’s control.
No matter what happens in the future, I’ll always be grateful to my teammates, the manager, the staff and especially the Arsenal supporters. You welcomed me as one of your own and I’ll never forget that.
Wherever life takes me next, Arsenal will always hold a special place in my heart.”
