It’s #KingsCup Spain time

@JohnS23201983 I’m on a plane and man people will find a way to complain about anything!

[Big Cat @BarstoolBigCat]

Respect the hell out of this statement. This is why I’ve always said FIFA is a class organization that always does things the right way above the table

[FIFA Media @fifamedia]

FIFA President Gianni Infantino:

“I have seen the public comments regarding the decision of the independent FIFA Disciplinary Committee related to the suspension of Folarin Balogun, and I would like to reiterate a fundamental principle of FIFA’s governance.

“FIFA’s judicial bodies are independent. They operate autonomously, apply the FIFA Disciplinary Code, and decide cases based on the applicable regulations and the specific facts before them. Their independence is essential to the credibility and integrity of football, and this must always be respected.

“Yes, I regularly discuss matters related to the FIFA World Cup with the President of the United States, and on this matter, I did receive a call from President Donald Trump, just as I receive calls from heads of state, government officials, football stakeholders and business executives from around the world on many different issues. During our conversation, I explained that there was an ongoing legal process involving FIFA’s independent judicial bodies and that the case would be decided in due course by the competent bodies. That is how FIFA’s system works, and it is a principle that I will always uphold.

“I read the decisions of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee when they are issued. Sometimes I am surprised by them. Sometimes I agree with them, and sometimes I disagree.

“What I always do, however, is respect those decisions and the autonomy of the bodies that make them. Whether we personally like a decision or not is irrelevant. Respect for independent institutions and the rule of law is what protects the integrity of our competitions and the credibility of FIFA at all times.”

Very mean to call Belgium fans not true fans!

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The definition of a true fan:

You’d rather see your team lose fairly than win unfairly.

[Big Cat @BarstoolBigCat]

Sucks to suck! 🇺🇸

Breaking @TheAthleticFC

FIFA Appeal Committee has rendered request by Belgian FA as “inadmissible” as Belgium “not a party to the proceedings and, as such, has no standing to appeal the decision.”

Which means according to FIFA, Balogun can play tonight

Ewwwww dude

[Claude Taylor @TrueFactsStated]

I’m a U.S. citizen who will be rooting for Belgium tonight. Probably just me.

[Pardon My Take @PardonMyTake]

An England fan that went missing during the World Cup was at a bar in Spain the entire time

[Big Cat @BarstoolBigCat]

The Belgian football team is releasing more statements than Kevin Warren. Enough already! Play the game!

Following its previous statement, the RBFA wishes to publicly explain the events of the past few hours. Read it here: https://t.co/8pzPMbEoWK

Does Trae Young have the worst contract in the NBA

[Big Cat @BarstoolBigCat]

@BGinge8 Kind of sounds like you’re at least a little afraid of him

[Big Cat @BarstoolBigCat]

Sad day for the sport of football if Belgium appeals the ruling. What happened to honoring a decision as final and not crying about it until it gets overturned? #NotMyFutbol

[Adam Crafton @AdamCrafton_]

@BarstoolBigCat Some teams chase trophies. Others chase loopholes.

[Big Cat @BarstoolBigCat]

Appeal Denied

[Yahoo Sports @YahooSports]

Belgium has been granted the right to appeal against FIFA’s decision to suspend the one-game ban handed to USMNT star Folarin Balogun, less than 24 hours before the team’s round of 16 match vs. the United States, per The Athletic.

The Belgian federation said it was “astonished” by FIFA’s decision to suspend the ban for a period of one year and the Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) responded that the move was in “direct contradiction” of the competition regulations and said it is exploring “all potential options.”
