Over the years, FIFA has suspended the likes of Nigeria, Kuwait, Indonesia, Pakistan, Congo, Sierra Leone, and Guatemala over government interference in football.

But the US president ringing up to get an on-field decision overturned?

Absolutely fine. Nothing to see here.

[Kylian Mbappé @KMbappe]

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

[Slazac 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇹🇼🌐 @TrueSlazac]

Getting dogwalked by a washed Belgium after getting the president to rig the game, maybe the most embarrassing performance of this tournament

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Un but de plus pour Kylian Mbappé. Contre le racisme cette fois. Tout mon soutien. Quand les mots salissent, nos valeurs répondent : dignité, respect, fraternité. @KMbappe 👏

Obote come give us the answer now

If you are educated and then given responsibility to help the peasants with government programs ; then you cheat peasants! Are you educated , stupid , greedy or what ? Who will develop us if all we know is stealing?

[Emmanuel Akona @EmmaAkonaTalks]

Even as one who supports Man Utd, I was gladly rooting for you, well done

[Erling Haaland @ErlingHaaland]

Worth the 28-year wait! 🇳🇴❤️

189 red cards have been handed out in the history of the World Cup.

Only 2 have been rescinded:
1962: Garrincha (Brazil)
2026: Balogun (USA)

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

This will be the biggest story, and potential scandal, of the World Cup…

I still CANNOT believe humans were gifted a planet full of trees, fruit, water, animals and sunshine and then they invented debt, capitalism and war.

[Emmanuel Akona @EmmaAkonaTalks]

Erling Halaand is really who he thinks he is?

[Emmanuel Akona @EmmaAkonaTalks]

Matter of fact, Brazil played second fiddle the whole night minutes to Norway, they can't complain that much,

[Emmanuel Akona @EmmaAkonaTalks]

@markgoldbridge And he just keeps doing it on and on again, ridiculous

[Emmanuel Akona @EmmaAkonaTalks]

Hooo Halaand is a proper Viking warrior, wow, dude is a monster, goodbye Brazil

[Emmanuel Akona @EmmaAkonaTalks]

That penalty miss by Bruno Guimares and that miss by Endrick is goal haunt Brazil #worldcupknockout

[Emmanuel Akona @EmmaAkonaTalks]

The Norwegian goalkeeper is in inspired form tonight, he has been such a monster in goal. They deserve to knock out Brazil#worldcupknockout

[Emmanuel Akona @EmmaAkonaTalks]

Corruption, thus reeks of corruption but then even Messi should have been sent off in the first game

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card.

FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.

FIFA sources insist White House influence could not affect the decision due to the powers contained in Article 27 and the independent nature of the disciplinary panel.

[Emmanuel Akona @EmmaAkonaTalks]

Just as I was posting, the cross came through and Halaand scores, they should keep crossing that Ball

[Emmanuel Akona @EmmaAkonaTalks]

Why the Heck can't the Norwegian just shoot, they are having the Lions share of the ball, but not shooting, at least then cross it first time to Halaand

[The Touchline | 𝐓 @TouchlineX]

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: The Royal Belgian Football Association has released a statement in regard to Folarin Balogun being able to play against them.

"The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) is astonished by FIFA's decision to declare suspended United States player Folarin Balogun eligible to play in the USA–Belgium match on Monday, 6 July at 5:00 p.m. (Seattle time)."

"FIFA bases its decision on Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code. This provision states that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee may decide to suspend the enforcement of a previously imposed disciplinary sanction."

"However, Article 66.4 of the same FIFA Disciplinary Code clearly provides that a red card (sending-off) automatically results in a suspension for the team's next match, as has been the case for all previous red cards issued during this FIFA World Cup."

"Furthermore, and irrespective of the above, the decision is in direct contradiction with the provisions of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Competition Regulations, as set out in Article 10.5:

"If a player or team official is sent off as a result of a direct or indirect red card (second caution), they will automatically be suspended from their team's subsequent match. In addition, further sanctions may be imposed."

"The automatic nature of such a suspension was also explicitly reaffirmed in FIFA World Cup 2026 Circular No. 16, which was distributed to all participating member associations on 12 May 2026."

"The same rule is reiterated at every FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Coordination Meeting prior to each match and is included in all FIFA World Cup 2026 workshop presentations.

"In order to safeguard the legitimate rights of all participating teams and to protect the fundamental principles of fair play in our sport, both at this FIFA World Cup and at future editions of the tournament, the RBFA is investigating all potential options."

Meanwhile Brazil has also fallen off so bad, to imagine, they can't even knock the ball around and are just waiting for a counter attacking opportunity, Times change indeed
