So by suspending the “red card” they are admitting without admitting, that the decision was absolutely wrong (which we knew). But to do this 24 hours before the game is quite a thing and will create a stir in Belgium no doubt. Right outcome, wrong process.
Crazy turn of events.
Breaking: Folarin Balogun will be available to play in USA's Round of 16 match against Belgium on Monday, FIFA announced.
The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has suspended the red card issued to the USA striker during their Round of 32 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
If we are going to see the ‘chip graph’, it needs to show the full run of play… did it hit Diaz arm or graze the hair before going off the back? Showing a touch in a vacuum absent of clear touches means nothing. Transparency has been so poor. Ronaldo was also onside..
How can he see him touch it from the still?? VAR transparency has been really really poor. Broadcast can is not enough to say there is a touch there imo
