At least you knew where you were with this bloke. Yeah you get a few bungs & some countries with dodgy human rights records getting world cups but it was harmless corruption. Infantinos influence is changing the actual game in plain sight and will do irreversible damage
When Sepp Blatter is taking to social media to call out corruption on your watch, it’s probably time to accept that the game’s up.
This is like Fred West critiquing your paving technique.
FIFA played a whole ass World Cup in DECEMBER because of bribes but folks want to clutch their pearls over corruption now. Give me an entire fucking break.
If you didn’t have an issue with Benito Mussolini handpicking referees and disallowing perfectly legitimate Spain goals in the 1934 World Cup quarterfinal, but suddenly have an issue with Folarin Balogun being made available…please sit down. Your privilege is showing.
The World Cup is exposing the truth:
1. The U.S. is awesome, just like we keep saying
2. Mexico is a terrifying, violent cartel-state
3. Canada and Australia suck
4. Japan is beloved
5. Europe is in decline
Sources: President Trump, commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, and White House task force head Andrew Giuliani put together a team of elite lawyers — from outside the government — to challenge the Flo Balogun red card. Specifically they challenged the use of slow motion instant replay to give the red card, which they argued violated FIFA rules. The president also conveyed to Gianni Infantino, FIFA’s president, that the appeal had been filed and he believed the red card penalty was excessive. FIFA’s independent committee reviewed the decision and agreed the penalty was incorrectly given, rescinding it under their rule 27 authority.
Yeah man I never wanna see the Clone Wars visual style ever again this looks visually stellar and exactly what I’d want from an animated Star Wars series
