"Hand the trophy to Portugal already." Modric, nearly in tears, blasts the referees for gifting Portugal a penalty while denying Croatia a clear goal. A 40-year-old legend deserved better than this.
Only a low IQ non-technical person thinks that a wireless sensor inside a ball with a shitty polling rate that is kicked around for hours is precise enough within low millisecond range to register a string of hair on the ball’s surface, yet magically immune to the pressure wave of someone missing it by 2mm and do all of this over the air in real time across hundreds of meters.
It's an accelerometer. It picks up vibrations and pressure changes from EVERYTHING nearby, even it hitting an insect in the air, then FIFA decides which spike counts as a ‘touch’.
Dear @FIFAcom
The red card against @balogun was wrong, but so are the people who think your rules cannot be challenged.
IF a lawyer were to appeal it on behalf of @USMNT, these are three routes available.
Let me explain:
🚨 BREAKING: Zlatko Dalic (Croatia Manager): I can’t believe what I’ve just seen, the ball clearly comes off his [Veiga’s] head, it’s a disgrace,”
“We knew what could happen after the Portugal match against Colombia but this is truly disgraceful.”
I’ve just watched the highlights (twice) and #Croatia have been mugged,robbed,scammed,fleeced …….just give #Ronaldo the trophy and save me a late night
FIFA releasing a statement proudly saying that their special ball technology picked up a tiny Croatian touch in the build up to their last goal v Portugal rendering it offside - makes that decision worse. They may as well release a statement proudly saying “we have invented an even more sophisticated way of ruining the game.”
You don't need a sales team. You need to be findable. Attention is money and influence in 1 asset. The Army of One markets by existing. https://t.co/5vz4TPhx2I
Ok, so pretty much everyone on the planet agrees that the red card on Balogun was bogus.
What's @FIFAcom going to do about it?
The damage during the game was done and luckily didn't cost the US the game.
Letting it impact the next game is a crime.
Hockey: You punched someone in the face several times? Take a 5 minute breather and you can come back in the game.
Soccer: You accidentally stepped on someone's ankle? You're kicked out and suspended for the next game.
Soccer is soft.
There’s no chance of appeal to get the USMNT’s suspended star Folarin Balogun back on the pitch versus Belgium. Or…is there?
Calling on America’s real all-stars: the lawyers.

FIFA would do well today to put out a brief and simple statement saying, the USA-B&H officials did not abide by the proper VAR protocols and wrongly awarded Balogun a red card, and thus the one match suspension has been voided. Will they do it? No. But they'd be right to.
