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 🤝
So to recap what happened with the USMNT:
• Balogun received a bogus red card
• VAR protocol isn't followed (no slow-mo)
• Trump calls Infantino to ask about the process
• US Soccer lawyers preapre & submit an appeal
FIFA's independent 18-person disciplinary committee then met, approved the appeal, and told Balogun he could play in Monday's match against Belgium.
That's what everyone is complaining about?
All rules were followed, and that same process is open to every other country. The only difference is everyone knows the red card was a mistake to begin with.
People are screaming corruption about balogun being allowed to play when it’s probably the least corrupt thing they’ve done in 30 years. Qatar was bribing everyone and built the stadiums with slaves and we are crying about a red card? Fuck outta here
