🚨🇺🇸 Donald Trump on Folarin Balogun: “It was not even a foul. You always want to see a game with best players”.
“How would you feel if we took Messi, Ronaldo or Harry Kane out?”, USA president says replying to @Emilylgoodin question.
"Best midfield itw" with a dreadful shocker. Extremely sad to see, poor tactical display from the entire team all through the tournament.
I see a lot of people crying out for a direct swap between 7 and 9 but I genuinely do not think it would've changed anything
Trump on Balogun:
Balogun is our best player. He got a red card. I didn't know what that meant, but then I heard that it means you cannot play in the next game.
That's very unfair. How do you penalize him for a game that hasn't been played yet?
I asked for a review by FIFA.
Watch this sport wherever you can and go and make friends with whoever is next to you.
Then you go outside and try and make the world and little better before bed. 🙏🏿
Pape Thiaw saw how devastating a forward line of Sarr, Mbaye & Ndiaye were in Senegal’s final but crucial group game, but he decided to bring Mane back in.
Senegal go 2-0 with Diarra being key in opening up spaces in the Belgian defense and also key in nullifying Trossard and Tielemans. He subs off Diarra who was not showing any signs of fatigue nor did he have a yellow card.
He then decided to sub off Ndiaye instead of Mane who was a horror show from the second half hydration break until he was subbed off in extra time. This meant the burden of the attack was once again put on the shoulders of 18 year old Mbaye while Mane was taking the piss.
The most egregious thing he did was to sit back and soak up pressure after his team was 2 goals up.
