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.
USA hero Folarin Balogun will be available to face Belgium after FIFA suspended his one-match ban for a year.
Under FIFA rule 10.5, Balogun was given a one-match ban and was set to miss Tuesday's last-16 clash with Belgium π¨
π¨ Wayne Rooney fires back at JΓΌrgen Klopp over his comments comparing Germany's disallowed goal to Arsenal's set-pieces:
π£οΈ βListen, you can't keep dragging Arsenal into every conversation.
Every time there's a controversial decision, somehow Arsenal become the reference point. It's getting ridiculous.
People spent an entire season trying to discredit Arsenal's set-pieces, calling them lucky, calling them boring and saying they were exploiting the rules.
Now Germany have a goal ruled out after a VAR review, and suddenly Arsenal are being mentioned again.
The two situations aren't the same.
Arsenal's set-pieces were worked on relentlessly on the training ground. They were legal, they were effective, and they played a huge part in Arsenal becoming Premier League champions.
Let's stop being hypocrites. When Arsenal score from a well-worked routine, it's called 'boring football.' When another team is on the wrong end of a VAR decision, Arsenal are somehow blamed for changing the game.
Enough of that.
Give Arsenal credit for what they achieved instead of using them as the benchmark every time football throws up another controversy.β
