🤬🇩🇪 Jürgen Klopp, DURÍSIMO contra Gianni Infantino y Donald Trump:

“Estas dos personas, que NO SABEN NADA DE FUTBOL, no deberían meterse en esto.

Fue una tarjeta roja. NO HAY NADA QUE DISCUTIR. Lo lamento por Balogun, porque no fue intencional. Pero es lo que dice el reglamento. 

Si la Casa Blanca realmente intervino, entonces es ABSURDO. El fútbol es nuestro, NO DE ELLOS”

Football has plumbed new depths under that ruinous and dangerous clown Infantino. Suspect many were disappointed to see a dysfunctional Belgium go through at Senegal's expense but there will be a lot of goodwill towards them tonight.

Thank you Trump for giving evidence that the USMNT has to be disqualified according to the FIFA's very own FIFA very own set of rules.

[Rachel Kryshak @RachelKryshak]

To be clear: Whether it is or isn’t a red to Balogun is now irrelevant. Government interference is a violation of FIFA Article 2 & 15, and the punishment is disqualification and suspension. Nepal was suspended.

This is an admission of the violation.

[UF @UtdFaithfuls]

Listening to this just made me realise he doesn't even have a single clue how the sport works.

Sad to see that the beautiful game is dying.

@clashreport “How do you penalise him for a game that hasn’t been played yet”

Do these Americans understand ONE thing about football? Like wtf is that question 😭

[Aar @Aar8104]

@90Turtl3 @Texanfirst33 @UwDienstwillige @MattWi77iams Yes, I've watched football for over a decade but i don't know the rules, right.

[Sir Dickson @Wizarab10]

He has to get out of football. He has ruined the sport

[🅓🅞🅝🅨 @Rmadonyfc_]

Using Ronaldo’s pic to soft launch the ‘Messi can win it from MLS’ agenda 😭😭😭 insane tactics

[Annemarie Dray @AnnemarieDray]

Balogun’s red card was given by the referee, backed up by VAR within the game and FIFA’s own disciplinary panel reviewed and upheld the decision after the game. So yes this decision reeks of corruption.

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

🚨 BREAKING: RBFA issues a new statement accusing FIFA of making their appeal "inadmissible" adding they have no choice but to "challenge the player's eligibility for the upcoming match".

"After learning through media reports of FIFA’s decision to lift the automatic suspension of player Balogun, the RBFA sent a letter to FIFA requesting a copy of the decision, an explanation of the process that had been followed, and setting out its position regarding the applicable regulations.

"As its only response, FIFA sent a letter to the RBFA stating that it considered this correspondence to constitute an appeal, that a judge had been appointed, and that the RBFA had only a few hours to complete that appeal. No information whatsoever was provided by FIFA.

"For an appeal to be admissible, FIFA’s own regulations state that the reasoned decision must first have been communicated to the appellant. While the RBFA was merely seeking legitimate explanations, FIFA itself created an appeal and immediately ensured that it would be declared inadmissible.

"All of this occurred while FIFA simultaneously refused to respond to the RBFA’s legitimate requests.

"Furthermore, during the match coordination meeting, FIFA deliberately removed the section concerning the automatic suspension of players from its presentation. This topic had nonetheless been part of all such meetings before each of the previous four matches. The RBFA questioned FIFA, both orally and in writing, about the reasons for this change, yet once again received no response.

"To be clear, as of this moment, the RBFA has still not received any decision or any explanation from FIFA regarding this matter. It therefore has no alternative but to challenge the player's eligibility for the upcoming match.

"Regardless of the sporting outcome of this match, the RBFA is deeply saddened by the course of events and will continue to fight in the coming hours, days and months in defence of the fundamental principles of ethics, fair competition, and the interests of football as a whole."

They’ve killed the legitimacy of their tournament for Folarin Balogun…

What a moronic country.

[Aar @Aar8104]

@Texanfirst33 @UwDienstwillige @MattWi77iams What nonsense is this?

It was a clear Red card and should lead to Balogun being suspended for the next match.

Stop bullshiting.

[Gryffix 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 @Gryffix]

It was a crystal clear red card. Nowhere in the world was this a controversial call. Only in the US, a country used to rules not applying to them. The FIFA has never overturned a red card like this, let alone for such an obvious call.

It's reaaaally low and pathetic.

[G @Gideoomatic]

This is the most corrupt thing I've ever seen in all my years or watching this sport, WHAT

[Kevin Jon Heller 🇺🇸🇩🇰 @kevinjonheller]

Arguing that #FIFA's open corruption is fine because Balogun didn't deserve a red card is the most American thing ever. #FIFAWorldCup

[Rob @carreg_y_defaid]

The way American fans are reacting online speaks so much about them as a culture. They really do see themselves as exceptional, and that they're above the rules.

[elmaestro @Dallotelli]

Infantino ist der dreckigste und korrupteste Bastard den dieser Sport jemals gesehen hat

[2.0 @blixberrie]

Genuinely speaking. America should never be allowed to host the World Cup again
