Mexican and England fans partying together and chanting โMEXICO, MEXICOโ after the game.
At the end of the day, this is what football is all about. โค๏ธโ๐ฉน๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ค๐ผ
You root for your country.
I think the red card was wrong.
You think the appeal process was wrong.
(I would argue it shouldnโt have needed one)
We disagree.
I am American, so Iโm pleased Flo can play.
It will ultimately be decided on the field.
Ball donโt lie.

(Iโve been on appeal calls with both the NFL and the Premier League many times. Trust me, there are times you know youโre likely fighting a losing battle, but you fight it anyway because thatโs what you do for your team. Every now and then it works. But the vast majority you either lose an appeal you thought you shouldโve won or you lose one you already knew you were going to lose. So itโs nice to be on the winning side of one that shouldnโt have been red in the first place. Still have to go out and perform now.)
God bless the 18 independent FIFA disciplinary committee officials who operated with grace and integrity and put forth a ruling based on the FACTS of this case and not poltical influences. Their work should not be overlooked. Fair play above all ๐ค
TRUMP ON PHONE CALL W/ FIFA PRESIDENT:
"I spoke to Gianni [Infantino], who is highly respected. I said Gianni, we've got all these games, each one has turned out to be a Super Bowl...they think 50-60 million people will be watching [USA v Belgium]...so I saw the play, I understand sports well, that wasn't a foul, that was two guys running full speed who happened to crash into eachother...this referee...who is a little bit suspect if you check his past...he made a call that nobody could believe...he's one of our best players and he gave him a red card, then I started hearing that means he can't play in the next game...that's very unfair...so yes I asked for a review by FIFA. I'm the one who got them to do it. It was not Biden. Biden was asleep."
If anybody sees any Americans complaining that Balogun gets to play today please let me know so we can deport them until the World Cup is over ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ
