🚨BREAKING: UEFA, European soccer’s governing body, has said that FIFA’s decision to suspend USMNT striker Folarin Balogun’s one-match ban is “incomprehensible” and “crossed a red line”.
“Yesterday’s decision to suspend for a probationary period of a year the implementation of the one-match automatic suspension following the red card issued to the player Folarin Balogun crossed a red line,” a spokesperson for the governing body said.
“Football, like any other sports, relies on rules, which are the basis for fair, honest and transparent competition. Sometimes rules are open to interpretation. In this case not. A minimum automatic suspension of one match following a red card is not a discretionary option and does not require the decision of a competent body to be enacted.
“It is a principle embedded in regulations, which cannot be made subject to exceptions, let alone in the middle of a tournament where several other players have been in the same situation and regularly served their suspension.
“When the certainty of rules is no longer guaranteed by its guardians, the integrity of the game is at stake and the credibility of a competition is undermined. We express our disbelief at such an unprecedented, incomprehensible and unjustifiable decision.”
🚨BREAKING: Kylian Mbappé responds to the racist and abhorrent remarks of the Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla
“Madame Celeste Amarilla,
You are a contemptible woman and unworthy of your position.
You do not represent Paraguay, that country which has sweated passion and honor throughout the competition.
Through your recklessness and your brazen racism, the entire world has already forgotten the journey and the historic effort that your players accomplished during this World Cup, making way for an incompetent woman giving the worst possible image of her country.
I will never allow people like her the freedom to spread their hatred and racism across the world.”
