I'd be embarrassed to admit this to anyone. Imagine using it as an excuse.

Non Soccer tweet here but I have to know why Red Sox Fans so desperately want Luis Arraez. I can’t think of a worse guy for the Sox to give up serious prospects for 🤷‍♂️

This Seattle coverage is insane 🤯

[Sophia Cai @SophiaCai99]

FULL timeline of the campaign to bring Balogun back, according to a half dozen U.S. government & soccer officials:
- Wednesday after U.S.-Bosnia match: Andrew Giuliani alerted Trump to the red card (Trump & Giuliani had been talking multiple times/week since start of World Cup and regularly before that.)
- Wed night: Giuliani, Lutnick and U.S. Soccer officials began activating on plans to challenge red card
- That kicked off 4 days of coordinated lobbying, legal maneuvering & diplomacy that stretched from Oval Office to Zurich
- On *Thursday* Trump dialed Gianni Infantino and asked abt FIFA’s rules around the red card decision and grounds for suspension. (They’ve known each other for 8 yrs.)
- FIFA declined to confirm any specific discussions but reiterated to POLITICO that the decision to suspend the one-match ban was made by an independent disciplinary committee.
- As U.S. Soccer’s legal team formally prepared & submitted its appeal to FIFA, Giuliani + Lutnick offered to make White House attorneys available to assist
- At the same time, Giuliani and Scott Goodwin — a hedge-fund manager who had helped pay the salary of Mauricio Pochettino — zeroed in on the officiating history of referee Raphael Claus
-Articles examining previous controversies involving Claus circulated among senior gov officials as they evaluated every argument that could bolster the appeal
- On FIFA side, Emilio García, who oversees the legal affairs of FIFA, advised Infantino on the available procedural options
- García + other FIFA officials worked to determine whether the circumstances of Balogun’s tackle met the narrow standards that would allow the disciplinary decision to be revisited
- By Sunday, FIFA announced that Balogun’s one-match suspension would be suspended
- FIFA insists that the decision was an independent one made by its 18-person disciplinary committee, but it would not say whether the decision was decided through a vote, and it has not published a report on the decision.

Whether the appeal is successful or not, the outcome should be a bye for Belgium with the USA disqualified for political interference.

A Brit who’s never won shit at the international level complaining 😭

[Match of the Day @BBCMOTD]

"I think it's an absolute disgrace." 😡

Wayne Rooney questioned the call around Florian Balogun’s suspended red card for the USA.

[Marc Caputo @MarcACaputo]

FWIW, 2 sources who told me the same thing: Trump called Infantino to understand the rules, didn’t make a specific ask & was told it was being independently reviewed

"If Trump had put his thumb on the scale and achieved this result, he would have a field day bragging about it”

[USMNT / Spurs !! @USMNT_603]

@CDonnick1 Yall do not understand Dave’s shickt

[USMNT / Spurs !! @USMNT_603]

🤣🤣

[USMNT / Spurs !! @USMNT_603]

Nothing funnier than people trying to justify that Balogun’s foul was a red card by showing/posting the slow motion replay that VAR used which has SPECIFICALLY been cited as the main reason the suspension was able to be suspended in the first place 🤣🤣

[Jarvis @jarvis_best]

“While you consider your decision, please enjoy this special behind the scenes footage of the time we kidnapped the President of Venezuela for, like, no reason.”

[USMNT / Spurs !! @USMNT_603]

@nahthagod22 @cryptomac_1892 @jaycaspiankang lol, of course we do. It’s called belief and I’m starting to think it’s a uniquely American trait 😂

[Jon Tweets Sports @jontweetssports]

FIFA suspending Balogun's red card so he can play for the USMNT tomorrow is the kind of FIFA corruption that used to only happen for the rest of the soccer world.

The USA has finally made it to the big leagues.
