How is it possible that PSN was down for hours today and @PlayStation didn't even have the decency to post something on their official channels?
The level of disrespect is unbelievable. I have never seen anything like this before.
We need to put them in their place.
Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:
- highest ticket prices ever and took a cut from resale sites.
- did nothing about Somalian referee and dozens of staff who were banned from entering the US for no legitimate reason.
- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.
- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.
- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final
- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.
We need to bring back £500 rent, £40 full tanks of fuel, car insurance that actually gets cheaper every year and full trolley of food costing under £80.
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.
The EXACT same scenario as Balogun's red. Exact same
Not even originally carded by the match official. VAR intervention and then direct red.
Surely, just like Balogun, Quansah had no malicious intent (obviously, intent doesn't matter).
You won't find any Three Lions' fans clamoring for a reversal.
Ugly can of worms opened today based on principle.
To be clear: Whether it is or isn’t a red to Balogun is now irrelevant. Government interference is a violation of FIFA Article 2 & 15, and the punishment is disqualification and suspension. Nepal was suspended.
This is an admission of the violation.
Just to be clear, then. FIFA:
1) can't possibly intervene when Iran are forced to move, a referee is denied a visa, or fans are barred from the USA
2) can absolutely intervene when a decision goes against the USA that Donald Trump doesn't like
Smashing. All know where we stand
Oh you mean the 35 year old journeyman who has only scored more than 9 goals in a season only once in his whole career; who has been relegated 6 times in 12 years, and whose most recent club just got relegated to the 3rd division (and promptly released him as a free agent), wasn't qualified to captain and lead the line for one of Africa's most important world cup teams?
You mean his surname shouldn't have given him an automatic starting spot and >70 mins guaranteed playing time in every game, keeping better players on the bench for no reason? You mean after he was taken off and the player that replaced him gave Ghana its only win at the tournament, that player shouldn't have been rewarded by being padlocked to the bench for the rest of the tournament even when Ghana desperately needed a goal?
You don't say.
Eventually someone will break this bullshit conspiracy of silence one day, and they will tell the true story of what the hell the Ayew family has over the GFA that keeps getting Jordan and Andre picked 5 years after they should have voluntarily retired from international football if they had any honour and self respect.
