@JAMUSA24@krassenstein It’s a rubbish process, one that football fans are critical of. But, it’s definitely applied consistently in that there has never been a suspension of a ban in a World Cup tournament, even when there were many mistakes pre VAR.
This decision was purely because fifa/trump.
@JAMUSA24@krassenstein There is a history of leniency pre tournament for suspensions. There is no history of wiping a suspension during the tournament. Zero, none, zip.
List of players to have their red cards overturned (or suspended) at the World Cup, since the card was introduced in 1970:
🇺🇸 Florian Balogun
End of list.
@NFLosophy@aldobucs That was pre tournament. There is a history of pre tournament leniency. There is not a single case of mid tournament suspension of a ban.
@ClevelandCam If you are genuinely interested in understanding the difference I suggest you follow @DaleJohnsonBBC and read his breakdown.
There is a history of pre tournament leniency but there is no history of in tournament suspended sentence.
@noblecedarz@SchrendanBooler@theojaffee All you have described is moving the line to another fixed point. Then the argument is that it’s only a foots length and 1cm.
@rationalhumanis You have options? Crack on do what you want.
The irony of calling it Euro snob bullshit when the rest of your post comes has you coming across as the most entitled arrogant know-it-all prat is quite something.
@DominicJwilson@BenCrellin@MsiDouglas Agreed but pretty pointless and people are treating it as a predictor. I’ve seen loads of people saying England are playing Ecuador in r32
@BenCrellin@MsiDouglas The BBC is pretty rubbish for actually predicting anything.
They have Scotland in there despite saying elsewhere they only have a 5% chance of going through.
@stewartflaherty@UnwantedKID666 In no way am I saying Downing was world class. Madueke is just so incredibly lucky to get in the squad let alone the team. Sometime people are overestimating how good someone is before they achieve anything
@stewartflaherty Come on. Ashley Young is the best of the 4 starting wingers. Downing is at least as good as Madueke who frankly looks like he’s won a competition to play!
