MEN IN BLAZERS: “A lot of 🇺🇸 fans are self-justifying, saying it shouldn’t have been a red card, justice has been done… that’s not how ⚽️ works. It’s delusion… think about how many unjust decisions have gone down — is this where we are? Politicians can phone a friend?”
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.
The Royal Belgian Football Association have released a statement following FIFA's decision to allow the USA's Folarin Balogun to play on Monday despite picking up a red card in his team's Round of 32 match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. #FIFAWorldCup
US Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin after Iran’s World Cup elimination:
“I’m just glad they’re done, and they’re not coming back. I was so happy when we were able to pull their visas and said they could leave U.S. soil, and I might’ve sung a song or maybe even danced a happy dance.”
What an absolutely deranged thing to say after the U.S. rigged the World Cup against Iran by making them travel back to Mexico between every game, reducing their rest, recovery, and practice time.
This only reinforces to the world that the United States is nothing more than a cruel empire that gets off on bullying and subjugating other countries.
