This is my Grandfather. I understand now why he warned me about fascism, far right and populist tactics. I will do my best to fight as well.
Ceci est mon Grand-Père, je comprends maintenant pourquoi il m'a mis tant en garde contre le fascisme. Je vais faire de mon mieux, papy...
Belgium, you need to save football
Just refuse to play
FIFA will lose millions of dollars. Broadcaster and sponsors will be furious
And that is all that counts to them
As you seem to like articles: 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."

🚨 BREAKING:
According to Ben Jacobs, the White House has directly contacted FIFA to request the suspension of Folarin Balogun's red card ban.
The worst tournament in history...
FIFA just effectively cancelled a US player's Red Card because Donald Trump asked them to.
It's time for an end to the corrupt FIFA they are now fixing the games and disgracing the sport.
Do you know anything about football? If yes, you would know that this picture alone justifies 2-3 games in some leagues (sole on ankles is just prohibited, whoever you are), 1 is a bargain, you would also know that countless teams in the world in the last CENTURY would have loved that that level or corruption would be possible, but it has NEVER happened in a WC. Your f… ‘president’ is making the most popular sport in the world dirty.
