@MightyGazelle1 This is just a nightmare Thor is having.

[Die-Hard Chicago @DieHard_Chicago]

Michael Jordan is the ONLY player in NBA history to accomplish this in a season:

- MVP
- Scoring Title
- 1st Team All-Defense
- Championship
- Finals MVP

He did it 4 different times.

@FIREPOLEsnow @CalebWiIsonMuse @CalebWilson2025 They often rank based off NBA potential, and Wilson never showed much sign of a reliable jumper the way guys like Ament did.

@the_enddddddda Hell fuckin yeah

@frankmikesmith Oh and the cost to maintain a $50M facility is at the very least $5M/year. Multiplied by 8000 is $40B yearly. So $400B to build, $42B/yr to maintain. Never happening.

[Carolina North @GoCarolinaNorth]

@frankmikesmith 8000 training hubs x $50M = $400B to build before we start paying 25,000 coaches x $80k = $2B yearly plus the $400M yearly investment. Idk yall

[Carolina North @GoCarolinaNorth]

@JG4Hoops @frankmikesmith Trust me I’m with you. Just can’t see it happening.

[Carolina North @GoCarolinaNorth]

@iownjakesadly @frankmikesmith Yeah, but the new US soccer program isn’t going to be needed to continue covering up the Epstein files ;)

@ElleRen7 Unfortunately 8-9 will. They, along with the powers that be, will make life Hell for the others as long as need be for them to “agree”.

🔴This is a RED CARD for O’Reilly.

Harry Kane knows. Look at his reaction to the elbow striking the chin of Sanchez.

@FranzBacke @rcon14 You can literally see on the broadcast what the VAR room is showing the referee. It’s slow motion from two angles.

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

On the basis of the images made available to referee Raphael Claus, the decision to send off USA forward Folarin Balogun is understandable. From the vantage point presented, via slow motion and still images, the threshold of serious foul play is met.

This challenge did appear to endanger the safety of an opponent. Those ensconced in FIFA’s refereeing hub may see that as an open and shut case. Yet to most observers and many of those who have played the game, at any level at all, this was a miscarriage of justice.

To show the challenge to the referee at a different speed to the incident he originally adjudicated upon is to warp and distort the judgment, removing context from the call. Slowed down, an accidental collision can resemble a premeditated challenge. A bad challenge can become a horror challenge.

In the case of Balogun, the freeze frame and slow-motion images eliminated the essential context. This was a simple ball played forward by Antonee Robinson, where two players jostled for position, and as Bosnia and Herzegovina defender Tarik Muharemovic got in front of Balogun, the forward, off balance, landed in an unfortunate — but clearly unintentional manner — on the ankle of his opponent.

In football’s history, it has sometimes required major incidents at big international tournaments to accelerate change.

FIFA must use Balogun’s injustice as a line in the sand, ending once and for all the unfair and disfiguring use of slow-motion and freeze frames.

[ESPN @espn]

"VAR made their recommendation to the referee based on slow-motion and still replays, which is not aligned with VAR protocols."

@andydaviesref believes VAR made the incorrect decision on Folarin Balogun's red card.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

(🚨) So to be very clear, FIFA rules do *not* allow the USMNT to appeal the Balogun red card *on the basis of claiming the referee erred*.

But.

Under the circumstances, the USMNT should appeal on the very different grounds ESPN just reported on: misapplication of VAR protocols.
