@Sargesbackheel@stevedaviesseo@johncrossmirror Those are the further sanctions that fifa apply. Automatically it’s a one game ban but a 2 game ban is expected for a challenge like quansha.
But again, this wouldn’t be controversial if FIFA hadn’t done the whole Balogun thing. It puts what has been standard into question
@stevedaviesseo@johncrossmirror No you are wrong. At the World Cup it’s an automatic 1 game ban but FIFA do allow themselves to extend the ban if they deem it necessary.
But Tuchel is right to be angry given how fifa struck off Baloguns ban without justification while imposing the actual rules on Quansah
@jpdg0610@muhammadbutt You might get a few players with his physique but you won’t get “a few” anywhere close to being as good as him. There are a lot of players as big and/or as strong as him but none of them are as good as him.
He’s one of a kind. You can’t just manufacture players like him
@GroovyLibLib@franklinleonard If you want to advocate for US to stay stagnant and never get past the last 16 be my guest. I don’t care and considering how clueless seemingly every sport centric person is about football ⚽️ in the US I’m not surprised you never manage to move the needle at all
@GroovyLibLib@franklinleonard No but they are like the 49ers. Consistently getting close and always within a chance to actually go on and win it. Much better than the US.
In comparison USA is like the Jets. Always as far away this year as they were last time because they seemingly never learn anything
@GroovyLibLib@franklinleonard Belgium has made the semi finals recently, Holland made the final a few years ago and lost in extra time in a 50/50 game. Croatia made the final inn 2018. Portugal have had some of the best players ever in the history of the sport
USA has never made it past the last 16
@L0ngfellowDeed5@crooksenlive@HowellTowns@CornelisRaphael And that’s not even mentioning the first ever FIFA peace prize award especially made for Trump. It was orchestrated by Trump and infantino is too much of a weasel to tell him no despite the implications for the sport he’s supposed to oversee and protect
@L0ngfellowDeed5@crooksenlive@HowellTowns@CornelisRaphael And that by calling the fifa president who has sucked heavily up to him over the past few years giving in to every demand by Trump, allowing him to lift the trophy with the winners, changing the venue of the draw and getting the village people to perform YMCA, his favourite song.
@crooksenlive@HowellTowns@CornelisRaphael U also don’t just suddenly decide to do that towards the end of a tournament with no prior changes or new guidelines
USA are getting preferential treatment because of political pressure. It boggles the mind that why this is a bad thing is a hard concept to grasp however casual
@elydia351@nscalzo81@timstillman_ This is also the first time since 1962 that a player that got a red card at the World Cup was allowed to play the following game in the same competition. That one time in 1962 was also the only time until now
I can’t wrap my head around how people, however casual, don’t get this
@jltho@Mike556553251 You are wrong on every level. But I’m sure it’s been explained to you a million times but sure, you who watched his first match 3 weeks ago know better I’m sure.
I can’t wait for this World Cup to over and all of you stop bullshitting about football
