@rjensen822@dayjeff83@cmbftbl The wording used in IFAB is general on purpose to give discretion to the officials (key words : "in general" and "should"). If you understood your language on a post 8th grade level you would get it
@lebanonjamess@CannoliesCards@ManMOUNTain02@FrancoPanizo I presented facts, you are either too blinded or too stupid to understand them (no surprise coming from an American). Therefore I have no interest in talking to you anymore.
@lebanonjamess@CannoliesCards@ManMOUNTain02@FrancoPanizo No I actually didn’t played pro, but I referred for 2 years. And under no circumstances, a reckless challenge like this one would have been less than a red. Balogun was side by side with the Bosnian, they both went to the ball, and by lack of control Balogun fouled dangerously
@DDNJ0321 @DiceElDani On the footage Balogun was clearly defending his position on the ball, meaning he knew somebody was on his side, and the tackle was reckless as he applied pressure on the Bosnian.
The red card was legitimate, just as would have been a yellow. What’s not is DJT calling Infantino
@Rocket_765@CannoliesCards@ManMOUNTain02@FrancoPanizo You see that’s the problem with you American. You don’t understand the importance of football for other countries. You are so self convinced your country is the best in the world that you can’t grasp at the sanctity of a sport not played much in your own country.
@CannoliesCards@Rocket_765@ManMOUNTain02@FrancoPanizo Actually all these tackles were talked about a lot. And I never moved my argument. The deep problem with this decision is the intervention of political entities in a decision.
Refereeing decision are subjective, and many can have different opinions. But you wouldn’t know
@Rocket_765@CannoliesCards@ManMOUNTain02@FrancoPanizo Hooo big words are too complicated for you ? I can tune it down a bit if you want. Interference by politics in sports bad. USA politic interfered. Decision bad for sportsmanship.
Easier now ? Does it mean something ?
@CannoliesCards@Rocket_765@ManMOUNTain02@FrancoPanizo It’s funny bc it tells clearly it’s the first time you watch football. The purpose of the red cards are to protect the players. The Bosnian player could have had his career ended by this dangerous play. It’s really a no brainer
@CannoliesCards@ManMOUNTain02@FrancoPanizo Do you know how to read your own language ? The sense of the phrase is large on purpose (again key words being "in general" and "should") to give discretion to the referee.
@Rocket_765@CannoliesCards@ManMOUNTain02@FrancoPanizo I mean that’s my point, it would have never happened for another country. I was actually quite satisfied by the USMNT, but this throws a bad look on your team. Your inability to understand why the decision is wrong tells a lot
@CannoliesCards@Rocket_765@ManMOUNTain02@FrancoPanizo Check my other response, you will see why there is no background for telling the Var was incorrectly used. Balogun made a dangerous play, endangering the integrity of another player, hence the red card. You can’t pretend knowing the rules when you started watching foot 3 week ago
