@SaltLifeRyan@larssivertsen Messi could have received a red card but he didn’t. That has nothing to do with the issue at hand.
Balogun received a red card, correctly in my view.
Governmental interference, esp from a host nation, undermines the sporting integrity of the competition.
@MenInBlazers@CamarenaTequila@RorySmith what examples are there of “freak occurrences” where Arsenal players have been sent off for things that wouldn’t be offences on any other week of the season?
@knowlesm@SamWallaceTel@TeleFootball With all due respect, Pedro Martínez was never a bigger name than Salah. Perhaps in the US, but globally Salah is many times more well known now than Martínez ever was. E.g. Salah currently has over 64m IG followers whilst Martínez has less than 600k.
