@EmbraceNAmplify @ClayTravis True. Correct. And No.

[Jason Melius @CplReptar]

@ClayTravis Because the defender lined up in the neutral zone before the snap. Doesn't matter that the play was intercepted and returned for a TD, foul had occurred prior. Crazy how bad Americans are at understanding the game. I always have to break it down into American sports analogies.

@TrueFactsStated So brave.

Unauthorized to be flagged for slo-mo review, but they did it anyway. The problem isn't the technology - it's the egregious human error of not understanding the rules (which will get better with time) It'd be like a coach in the NFL throwing a challenge flag on an unchallengable play (which is a penalty in NFL) and the ref reviewing it anyway and then making a call. One VAR ref making a bad call shouldn't negate the dozens that have done their job well and utilized the technology to make better calls on the field - even simple stuff like "who touched it last, etc."

@tombogert Any good-will Belgium might receive from casual, no-dog-in-the-fight fans will likely be eroded by this whining.

[Jason Melius @CplReptar]

@fiago7 They violated their own rules using slowed-footage on VAR review which then resulted in a red. They then violated their own rules to remove the suspension and make correct a situation that shouldn't have happened to behind with.

[Jason Melius @CplReptar]

@ESPNFC @herculezg FIFA violated their own rules issuing the red card and thus made it right by violating their own rules again. The right decision is made -- perhaps it could have been done quicker but getting it right and slow better than wrong and definitively quick.

@libsoftiktok Good.

bets still on the table America, yet.

@elonmusk Yo - we need a way to hide sports scores (world cup) on the news feed. K,thx bye.

[Jason Melius @CplReptar]

@greg16676935420 you did this Greg. Shame.

[Jason Melius @CplReptar]

@greg16676935420 @FreddyLA7 Be nice.

[Jason Melius @CplReptar]

@CiaranS21 Exactly this.

[Bill Maher @billmaher]

The World Cup is at our shores, and all these people are doing us a great service. They are reminding Americans that this place is kind of awesome.

[Jason Melius @CplReptar]

@DAKKADAKKA1 are we not going to talk about where the four people in row 6 chose to sit? That seems to be the more important story.

[Jason Melius @CplReptar]

@TRHLofficial @elonmusk *intentional.

[Jason Melius @CplReptar]

@guypbenson Fairly astonished you follow and report on politics for a living and are this clueless to understand how the man operates.

@iamgabesanchez @spencerpratt Dang. Even after all that you're somehow describing a lesser of two evils.

@EliseDaMandolin @mynerdyhome 100%. In two years we've gone from X being the home of citizen journalism to the home of paid propaganda. But to X's credit the "PAID" mark let it be known - whereas legacy media can still pretend.
