@herculezg The USMNT was a sinking ship. This guy walks in and steadies the ship but of course there's still holes left. I say it's good we give him a proper 4 years.
For the remainder of this world cup I am now Spain's strongest soldier. I live for Spain. I fight for Spain. I breathe for Spain. I die for Spain.
THE ARGENTINE TETRA WILL NOT COME
¡VIVA ESPAÑA!
Okay. Sure let UEFA countries who: allow Israel to play in their competitions, allow billionaires to own their clubs, and are compliant to Spain Portugal and Morocco co-host the Centennial world cup, lecture others about corruption. You're mad cuz the "corruption" isn't for you.
🚨 BREAKING: RBFA issues a new statement accusing FIFA of making their appeal "inadmissible" adding they have no choice but to "challenge the player's eligibility for the upcoming match".
"After learning through media reports of FIFA’s decision to lift the automatic suspension of player Balogun, the RBFA sent a letter to FIFA requesting a copy of the decision, an explanation of the process that had been followed, and setting out its position regarding the applicable regulations.
"As its only response, FIFA sent a letter to the RBFA stating that it considered this correspondence to constitute an appeal, that a judge had been appointed, and that the RBFA had only a few hours to complete that appeal. No information whatsoever was provided by FIFA.
"For an appeal to be admissible, FIFA’s own regulations state that the reasoned decision must first have been communicated to the appellant. While the RBFA was merely seeking legitimate explanations, FIFA itself created an appeal and immediately ensured that it would be declared inadmissible.
"All of this occurred while FIFA simultaneously refused to respond to the RBFA’s legitimate requests.
"Furthermore, during the match coordination meeting, FIFA deliberately removed the section concerning the automatic suspension of players from its presentation. This topic had nonetheless been part of all such meetings before each of the previous four matches. The RBFA questioned FIFA, both orally and in writing, about the reasons for this change, yet once again received no response.
"To be clear, as of this moment, the RBFA has still not received any decision or any explanation from FIFA regarding this matter. It therefore has no alternative but to challenge the player's eligibility for the upcoming match.
"Regardless of the sporting outcome of this match, the RBFA is deeply saddened by the course of events and will continue to fight in the coming hours, days and months in defence of the fundamental principles of ethics, fair competition, and the interests of football as a whole."
