1) Le sacan tarjeta roja al mejor jugador de la selección USA.
2) La Casa Blanca llama a la FIFA.
3) La FIFA retira la tarjeta roja y el jugador queda habilitado para el partido con Bélgica.
4) Trump saca un “tuit” agradeciendo a la FIFA por “hacer justicia”.
Gracias Trump y gracias FIFA por arruinar el principio de igualdad de competencia del Mundial de fútbol.
@villareport@_SByrne Finally getting some of these peripheral players off the books to hopefully free up some room to spend. Now if we can do the same with Illing-Jr, Bailey, Kosta, Garcia, Dobbin, Gauci, Guessand and Zych, we may be able to add one or two quality players.
@_stonyd Love this post. We always back our players, absolutely nothing wrong with that and we want them to play and play well for the country, because we want everyone to see what we see and feel how we feel. But you're 100% correct in what you say. A top comment, mate.👏
@KieranMaguire This guy is unfit for this kind of position. FAs need to make a stand after this world cup. Break away from FIFA and start again. Even change at the top will not address the perceived systemic corruption of that organisation. It's passed saving now.
Just a reminder that shortly after being appointed president in 2017 that Infantino was instrumental in a major FIFA overhaul that ousted the two independent co-chairmen of the Ethics Committee, Cornel Borbély and Hans-Joachim Eckert. At the time, the committee was actively investigating… Infantino
@JacobsBen F*ck this guy. Time to dismantle FIFA and put this joke well away from running football again. Does he seriously expect us to believe that utter nonsense?
The bloke is a tool.
I was just reading about this. To me, it makes matters considerably worse.
The issue is no longer simply whether the original red card was justified. It is whether FIFA has undermined the integrity of the World Cup, and its own authority as the global regulator of football, by appearing either to invent a procedure or, at the very least, to apply its rules in a wholly unprecedented way, against a backdrop of acknowledged political pressure, while refusing to give reasons and seemingly leaving the decision with no meaningful avenue of challenge.
As someone committed to sporting integrity, transparency, fairness and the rule of law in sport, if the reports of what has happened are accurate, I find this deeply troubling.
For years I have represented players and others facing lengthy bans for betting offences where there has been no suggestion whatsoever of match manipulation, because the governing bodies, including FIFA, have consistently argued that preserving confidence in the integrity of the sport requires robust and uncompromising enforcement.
If that is the standard expected of participants, the regulator itself must be held to at least the same standard. If the reports are accurate, this decision, and the consequences for FIFA, could prove to be truly seismic, eclipsing the controversy about the red card itself.

@JacobsBen Every single football federation should stand squarely behind RBFA here and force major changes at the top of FIFA.
It's just unacceptable. The power lies in the countries here, and if in the following months a mass boycott is needed to remove that bald freak, then so be it.

Max Scott doesn't hold back on FIFA President Gianni Infantino after Folarin Balogun's red card was 'suspended' 🔥
