[Ben Ranieri @BenRanieri10]

The club really, really needs another reliever. Not only do they need it to help them win, they need it to not run this current group into the ground any more than they already have.

That has to get done in the next day

[The Touchline | 𝐓 @TouchlineX]

🚨🗣️ Mauricio Pochettino on the red card to Balogun: "Watching it after on TV, it was never the intention to step onto the player; it's a normal action in football that happens by accident."

"It's never intentional. It's never a red card."

"Today, in all the 50-50 decisions, none were for us. And the players reacted very well. We controlled that emotional part of the game that’s so important…"

"How they managed the situation was amazing; we showed maturity."

[RedditCFB @RedditCFB]

We actually have a 2nd amendment guaranteeing the right to guns. That includes Baloguns.

🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović on the inconsistency of VAR after Folarin Balogun’s red card compared to the earlier Lionel Messi challenge against Algeria:

🗣️ “Now we see the inconsistency. One player is protected, another is exposed. That is the biggest problem in football today.”

“If Balogun’s challenge is a straight red card, then people have every right to ask why similar incidents are judged differently. The rules should not change depending on the name on the back of the shirt.”

“This decision exposes the rigidity of VAR, but also its inconsistency. VAR was introduced to remove controversy, yet too often it creates even bigger arguments.”

“Football cannot have two standards—one for the biggest stars and another for everyone else. Either the law is the law, or it means nothing.”

“The fans don’t ask for perfection. They ask for consistency. They want to know that every player, whether it’s Messi, Balogun or anyone else, is judged by exactly the same standard.”

“When supporters start questioning whether reputation influences decisions, that’s dangerous for the credibility of the game. Trust in officiating disappears.”

“VAR should make football fairer, not make people wonder why identical situations end with completely different outcomes. That’s the conversation everyone will be having after this.”

[Josh Norris @JoshNorris]

This ref refused to give yellows for the entire first half

And now issues a red after a single VAR intervention

[Nick 🇨🇦 @Nick28T]

As a Canadian, I have no horse in this particular race… BUT, that’s never a red card on Balogun. And if it is, then how the hell did Messi not get sent off for the identical thing in the group stages?

As always, lack of consistency in VAR and Ref decisions.

[Hater Report @HaterReport]

Balogun Red Card Messi No red card

[Warren Sharp @SharpFootball]

need to investigate this ref for a red card on this challenge

especially the way Balogun was manhandled all first half with zero cards against Bosnia

[Mr. Savage @SavageInWA]

Worst red card I’ve ever seen…
What is this garbage? @FIFAWorldCup

[Rate the Refs @Rate_the_Refs]

No way they call this a red card…

[Mr. Savage @SavageInWA]

The Ref is terrible #usa #usmnt

[MLB @MLB]

Perfectly played by Cole Young 😲

[Joe Fann @Joe_Fann]

Julio not waiting until the second half is a tremendous narrative and needs to be acknowledged accordingly 🙌🏻

[The WARmonger @TheWARmonger_]

Victor Robles caught TWO balls with 10% catch probability last night!

[JulioIsKing @JulioIsKing44]

Cliff Heathcote is the fastest to ever do it at 28 at bats in 1918

So Colt Emerson missed the record by one at bat

[MLB @MLB]

COLT EMERSON'S FIRST MLB HIT IS A HOME RUN!

[Daniel Kramer @DKramer_]

Colt Emerson, first career hit -- first career homer.

A big "Welcome to The Show" moment for @MLBPipeline's No. 6 overall prospect.
