To all the Europeans clutching their pearls over this after spending the last several days Eurosplaining the sport to us, let me explain it to you.

Even if Balogun deserved a red (he didn’t), the referee misused VAR under FIFA’s own rules. That resulted in a red card that couldn’t be appealed.

FIFA then correctly used Article 27 to review and suspend the ban because the initial VAR error led to an unappealable decision.

[Jason Whitlock @jasonwhitlock]

Balogun is a Nigerian who grew up in London. I'm glad his suspension got revoked, but I'm not going to pretend he's American. The Globalism World Cup.

Mauricio Pochettino on Folarin Balogun suspension decision, via @tombogert:

"We were punished enough against Bosnia to play with 10 men for 30 minutes, in a decision that was unfair ... It’s not because I’m the head coach of the USA… I think 99.9% of people agree it was an unfair red card."

[Jacob Morris @JacobMorrisTV]

"I'm blessed to represent #Alabama in this tournament and hopefully I'm giving them a good representative."

Hoover native Chris Richards (@eastmamba) gave a shoutout to home after #USMNT's Round of 32 victory last night.

Americans are absolutely NOT rooting for England, ESPECIALLY on our 250th freedom celebration. We love Mexico and Mexicans and Mexican food and Mexican beaches.

[Jason Smith @howaboutafresca]

What makes me sick to my stomach is that if USA loses to Belgium on Monday, the Balogun red card is going to be the biggest 'What if?' in USA soccer history. Blerg.

[Big Cat @BarstoolBigCat]

What does @FreddyLA7 do now? I don’t want him to stop complimenting our country

[Ryan Gordon @TheGordinatorII]

@VandyTracker I think you meant progressing.

Incredible rendition of Flower of Scotland by the Tartan Army tonight 😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Flower of Scotland is heard in a FIFA World Cup for the first time in 28 years 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Sweet Home Alabama @TweetHomeAla]

What @FreddyLA7 said. 🤝

It turns out Alabama hits a little different when you experience it for the first time. From a massive night in Auburn to the absolute peace of a Fairhope sunset, we love seeing the state through fresh eyes.

[Ryan Gordon @TheGordinatorII]

@oilersjayscan @SportsCenter Bosnia is ranked close to 20 spots lower than Paraguay and South Africa is ranked above them by a few spots. Bosnia is quite literally the worst of the 3 teams.

[Denzell @Denzell_Of_NSH]

Spain is experiencing Chattanooga, TN.

Argentina is in Auburn, Alabama.

Germans are eating Waffle House.

Brits are still complaining.

This World Cup has been amazing and it hasn’t even started yet.

Spurs lose they complain about officiating.

Thunder lose and take accountability.
