FIFA got it right by suspending Folarin Balogun’s Red Card under Article 27.
Belgium’s protesting the decision isn’t about the integrity of the game. It’s about getting an advantage over the USA.
If it was about the integrity of the game, they would be championing Balogun having his Red card suspended because it was improper use of the VAR system and not a Red card offense.
Where were the appeals when Cristiano Ronaldo got his 3 game red card ban suspended and reduced to a 1 game ban on a friendly so he could play this entire World Cup?
DR Congo and Uzbekistan didn’t protest Cristiano Ronaldo eligibility to play.
They played Portugal at full strength.
If Belgium doesn’t want to play now because FIFA made the right call and the USA has Folarin Balogun back in the lineup, then THAT’S WEAK.
They don’t deserve to win.
Put the ball down and play.
Don’t pick up your ball and go home.
