This is the ultimate “don’t hate the player, hate the game” story. If your country’s President ISN’T convening an all-star lawyer team to appeal a red card suspension, you don’t care enough about soccer.
Sources: President Trump, commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, and White House task force head Andrew Giuliani put together a team of elite lawyers — from outside the government — to challenge the Flo Balogun red card. Specifically they challenged the use of slow motion instant replay to give the red card, which they argued violated FIFA rules. The president also conveyed to Gianni Infantino, FIFA’s president, that the appeal had been filed and he believed the red card penalty was excessive. FIFA’s independent committee reviewed the decision and agreed the penalty was incorrectly given, rescinding it under their rule 27 authority.
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.

The Globe's activist journalists were never wrong about the World Cup, they just lied. There’s a difference. And Pizzuti’s contempt for the Krafts is in a league of its own. Those are undisputable facts. And now one of many receipts :

Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.

The greatest country on earth.
With 29 seconds left, Notre Dame faced 4th-and-goal and dialed up a whip-under concept. It was nearly impossible to defend—a tight end matched up on a linebacker with nothing more than a simple box-out for the winning touchdown. The game of football is all about matchups
