This is probably the biggest scandal in World Cup history.
USA striker Folarin Balogun committed this outrageous foul against Bosnia and was shown a straight red card… but here’s where it gets crazy.
The White House publicly contacted FIFA and the tournament organizers, asking them to lift his suspension. And they actually did. Balogun is now eligible to play against Belgium.
The organizers cited something called a “probation period,” meaning the red card still stands, but instead of serving the mandatory suspension, he’ll only be punished if he commits a similar offense again.
A blatant manipulation of the rules for everyone to see, especially considering red-card suspensions are not supposed to be appealable.
When you’re expelled from school, but your dad is the Principal. 😭
This is a huge failure of the entire international community. For days, India had been at it. And nothing. Now there HAS to be a quick effort at scaling things down. How was India allowed to bring this region to this point?
This is Udhampur Air Field in India. It’s a military target not civilian target. Pakistan totally destroyed this military installation in response of civilian casualties in Pakistan.
The drones India used to kill civilians in Pakistan are Harop drones and they are Israeli made. There is a hideous confluence between Hindutva and Zionism and we are watching them converge against Pakistan.
Anyone looking can see that Pakistanis - constantly demonised - are calling for calm and for peace while Indians, politicians to movie stars, are beating loud war drums. Jingoism has no place in the modern world. India is rapidly exposing a false + slippery narrative of itself.
In the last many years we ve been warning the world that India has become an unrestrained rogue state. Today India s multiple attacks inside Pakistan show that India feels it has impunity to do what it will w/o any consideration to intl law.
India striking multiple sites in Pakistan is a sign of how unhinged the country has become, following Israel’s flagrant contempt for international law and diplomacy. To date they have provided zero evidence to substantiate their wild claims making them a rogue actor.
Likely raped to death.
A doctor. A stellar surgeon. The embodiment of Palestinian ethics.
Likely raped to death.
The racism of Western media who are not covering this, and Western politicians who are not denouncing this, together with the thousand other testimonies and allegations of rape and other forms of mistreatment and torture that Palestinians have suffered in Israeli jails, is absolutely sickening.
On the one hand, govt wants to discourage cash transactions and here is Doctor's hospital charging 1.75% on CC transactions. Medical bills are usually high so cash should be avoided. @CMShehbaz
The Israeli military attacked a car, shot the passengers, then shot the ambulance that tried to save the girl.
But you'd never guess that from this CNN headline.
So, Iran will be sanctioned for selling weapons to Russia, but the US and Europe can keep selling weapons to Israel while it conducts a genocide no problem. Got it. 👍
Thank you @HamidMirPAK for finally hosting a show highlighting a grave and real problem in Pakistan regarding difficulties faced by women at work/home. Hope parliament takes note.
Very sad to hear Zain Qureshi compare his party's political woes to #Gaza. Keeping an electric toothbrush from a prisoner is not Gaza. Please exercise some humanity.
