🚨🚨 Egypt’s Ziko: “The referee is unfair, God is sufficient for me and the best disposer of affairs. He's wasting the effort of an entire nation”.
“The cup is being given to Argentina. They win the World Cup”.
@andrew_wiebe And we’re already seeing a “Oh well, real football starts in a month lol” response from people who finally started to give a shit. Maybe that changes in another 4 years of progress for MLS? Feels like we’re right back at square one.
@blinkinriley I have gone from "Hell Yeah he's available!" to "Ugh, Trump made the call? This feels dirty..." and now back to "I hope the team (including Balo) wear commemorative patches on their jerseys and hold up a 2-0 as they come out of the tunnel."
@HLTCO If he would have just kept his mouth shut about it (I know, impossible) it would have been par for the course for FIFA and people would have forgotten about it after this tournament. He wants the credit for it, so now its just blatant corruption laid bare lol
@BenScottStevens I fully expect somehow FIFA to reverse course on this and enforce the suspension 30 minutes before kickoff or something crazy like that.
fireworks outside the visiting team hotels all night.... extreme heat and storms interrupting games ... unprecedented, suspicious administrative ruling undoing a suspension ...
sorry world you're on CONCACAF turf now. these concacolors don't run baby
