Sad day for the sport of football if Belgium appeals the ruling. What happened to honoring a decision as final and not crying about it until it gets overturned? #NotMyFutbol
Whether you think it was a red card or not, the VAR did not follow protocol by using slow motion. That was the issue here and why it is likely getting suspended. #USMNT
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.
Nailed it!!
This view is exactly why it’s not a red. You can’t commit a red when you are going sideways and someone cuts you off from behind and your foot accidentally lands on his.
Pic of rolled ankle can’t always = red. Context has to matter.
