🚨BREAKING: FIFA President Gianni Infantino will face the FIFA congress at the end of the world cup
He has been summoned into questioning over alleged corruption and favoritism towards Argentina in 2022
Refs should get fined or banned if they are found to be biased. I’ve always enjoyed watching the World Cup but I can’t wait for Messi to retire & Infantino to get prosecuted. They’re ruining the game
🚨 Vozinha: "I saw the match against Egypt. They were victims too, just like us. The referees seem to have one set of rules for Argentina and another for everyone else. If Argentina commits a foul, play goes on. If their opponents do the same, it's a penalty or a yellow card".
FIFA are supposed to suspend countries whose politicians interfere in how the World Cup is managed.
Go for it Belgium. Take legal action Court of Arbitration in Sport, Switzerland, and US courts all at the same time.
Do it for the game.
🚨⚠️ OFFICIAL: Belgian Federation statement on Folarin Balogun red card case, saying they are “astonished”.
“The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) is astonished by FIFA's decision to declare suspended United States player Folarin Balogun eligible to play in the USA–Belgium match on Monday, 6 July at 5:00 p.m. (Seattle time).
FIFA bases its decision on Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code.
This provision states that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee may decide to suspend the enforcement of a previously imposed disciplinary sanction.
However, Article 66.4 of the same FIFA Disciplinary Code clearly provides that a red card (sending-off) automatically results in a suspension for the team's next match, as has been the case for all previous red cards issued during this FIFA World Cup.
Furthermore, and irrespective of the above, the decision is in direct contradiction with the provisions of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Competition Regulations, as set out in Article 10.5:
"If a player or team official is sent off as a result of a direct or indirect red card (second caution), they will automatically be suspended from their team's subsequent match. In addition, further sanctions may be imposed.”
The automatic nature of such a suspension was also explicitly reaffirmed in FIFA World Cup 2026 Circular No. 16, which was distributed to all participating member associations on 12 May 2026.
The same rule is reiterated at every FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Coordination Meeting prior to each match and is included in all FIFA World Cup 2026 workshop presentations.
❗️In order to safeguard the legitimate rights of all participating teams and to protect the fundamental principles of fair play in our sport, both at this FIFA World Cup and at future editions of the tournament, the RBFA is investigating all potential options.”
