Trump made the call. FIFA bent the rule. Balogun came back.
And Belgium still sent the hosts home 4-1.
The United States had the home crowd, the flag, the hype, the phone call, and the second chance. Belgium had the pressure, the finish, the Red Devils, and the waffles hot enough to cook the whole back line.
You can bend the rule, but you cannot bend the game.
Cheated and defeated.
Bye bye bye.
Sacred Defense.

But nothing will ever be the same again. The WHOLE world now knows that the US is an international BULLY which can only terrorise the world to do its will. Nobody acts out of love. This is true from tariffs and trade to threats of annexation to invasion and war. And football.
I wonder what special programs the UK Government have got lined up in order to rehabilitate octogenarians who oppose the idea of babies and children being carpet-bombed?
@mjdaly57 Nobody gives up a lucrative salary as an MP for altruism and Josh Simons is no exception. What is rather sinister is though he was already aware Andy Burnham was a done deal for PM and he was in for a top job in cabinet. Labour together is the financial hub of secrecy.
I honestly believe that Simons is an intelligence asset. From the way he circumvented normal recruitment procedures to be placed in Jeremy Corbyn’s office at the behest of Iain McNicol and Emilie Oldknow; his spying on colleagues, his sudden departure and labelling of them all as anti-Semites, his teaming-up with McSweeney and their secret backers to form Labour Together and that syndicate’s full-on taking down of Corbyn’s leadership; McSweeney, Matt Faulding and Mandelson parachuting him into the Makerfield seat and everything that’s happened since. It hasn’t been a ‘normal’ political career arc to say the least.
@ellencarmichael You miss the point completely, a red card was issued for a very dangerous foul look a the picture. The punishment is a sending off and a suspension of the next game simple but effective rule.
🚨 𝗨𝗟𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗔 𝗛𝗢𝗥𝗔: Algunos miembros de la junta ejecutiva de la FIFA están PIDIENDO LA RENUNCIA del presidente Gianni Infantino y preparando una demanda en su contra tras revelaciones de que la FIFA rompió las reglas para favorecer a un jugador y un país, según especulaciones en línea. ⚠️🇺🇸
@TouchlineX Seems to me with this tainting of the rules of the game, this match game should be suspended until the right decision is made which should absolutely be how the International rules must be followed without interference from any political figure.
@TouchlineX Football fans all over the world are heartbroken that the United Fakes single-handedly ruined the beautiful game by cheating. Only Americans are happy about it. An overly nationalist culture. 👇
