@InGidWeTrust@declatom@ScottyGrays@tombogert He still purged 1 match ban, and the following 2 were postponed. Here Balogun should serve that ban because it cannot be postponed or cancelled. The red card was not too harsh when viewing the foul.
@InGidWeTrust@declatom@ScottyGrays@tombogert Sorry but this is not exactly the same as Ronaldo. The article used for this is for disciplinary sanctions, but the automatic 1 match ban in not a disciplinary sanction, because it is automatic and not reviewable after the game. The 2 following bans for Ronaldo were disciplinary
@RBaiter7@ScottyGrays@declatom@tombogert No. We understand the concept of match bans for red card offense, and we play with this in mind. Otherwise we can just break ankles and legs left and right and all will be forgotten on the next game ? The match ban is the point of the red card. There's a penalty to it
@ScottyGrays@declatom@tombogert It was moved to another date to conveniently allow Balogun to play. Only applied for us team, when the world cup is played in US. This looks and smells fishy...
@ScottyGrays@declatom@tombogert Oh not at all. In the US you may feel it is unjust, but in Europe we all very much think this a red card offense no matter the country that commits it. It was unintentional for sure, but still an uncontrolled and dangerous fault where a red card doesn't seem too harsh.
@AreLiberal68363 @ScottyGrays@declatom@tombogert They were born away, so they were imported to the US physically, a d stop being a fucking racist, when this topic was about a black us player.
@ScottyGrays@declatom@tombogert But this where this feels unfair. Stop seeing balogun's ban as an advantage to the opposing team, but as a penalty to the US team. The ban has been moved to next year, this makes the ban trivial, as every other red card player misses the next match. Always. Even Ronaldo did
@BillyBilliams69@ScottyGrays@declatom@tombogert If this doesn't smell like interference from US administration (already acknowledge with the trump peace prize), then I don't know what more to add.
@BillyBilliams69@ScottyGrays@declatom@tombogert + Ronaldo still purged the first match ban of the 3, as the first is automatic and 2 were an added sanction that was post-poned. But the first match ban is automatically applied and has to be purged. I get rules allow interpretation, but why only yo favor the US in this cup?
