@VickyR1chter Get rid of VAR being used to decide severity and this is all solved. Especially when VAR is being used incorrectly in both US and Englands red card situation.
@deanbphillips Why would you penalize the players, the coach, or the fans for something outside their control. You field the team you are allowed to. Just like Portugal did, just like England will if their red card it overturned.
@TrueFactsStated Well said. Zero fault of the players, coaches or fans. They should play Balogun, donβt penalize him or the team for the actions outside their control. This to shall pass, but messy for now.
@RachelKryshak I went deep down this rabbit hole yesterday. I advise you to do the same. The rules are very specific against governement intervention with the teams, not with FIFA. Meaning you can pay FIFA, pressure FIFA, but not until you pressure the actual team do the rules kick in.
@PuckDontLie It is explicitly in the VAR rules that you can not use slow motion VAR to access severity of a card. I am not en expert but I can read. I also believe FIFA should not have allowed Balogun to play, but they did, and that is not the fault of the team or the fans, that is on FIFA.
@andreperrotta13 Oh, England fans will be and already are, and rightfully so. VAR again was used in slow motion to decide the severity of a card and it is explicitly in the rule against this. π€·ββοΈπ€·ββοΈ
@notthefakeDNP As was Baloguns, but again they used slow motion VAR to access it, which is explicitly not allowed. Itβs not the red card in question, itβs how it was accessed. This is not complicated. Hope this helps.
@awinston Actually, the rule is specific to government involvement with teams not involvement with FIFA itself. The rule says βno pressure on the teamβ. Team does not equal FIFA.
@SidFar_ Itβs in the rules you canβt use slow motion VAR to decide severity, yet here we are again. No card to a red card based on slow motion replay. WTF is FIFA doing.
