@AJMarcus13@JacobsBen Or, he doesn't get to play in the biggest match of his life to date, and the unfairness of the situation haunts him for the rest of his life. Which do you choose?
@WellHowAboutTht@markvalorian Did you look at the entirety of the play? If so, are you arguing that if player A bumps player B, player A is not responsible for where/how player B lands, even though player A caused player B to become imbalanced? That's your argument?
@InMoated@markvalorian Lol. Appealing to authority. Cute. I can't help you if you refuse to view the play's full context. It’s akin to you arguing that when the Bosnian player initiated the contact and shifted Balogun’s balance, where Balo lands becomes…Balogun’s fault?! Wait, what?! Try harder!
@WellHowAboutTht@markvalorian Classic sham logic: Apply apples to oranges and claim they are the same. The Messi foul was more egregious and is the only example that fits Baologun’s scenario if one is being objectively honest. Be better.
@qlonezap@markvalorian Try again after viewing the entire play (not a 2-second snippet), and THEN see if you come to the same conclusion. If you do, you're objectively dishonest.
@NicolasGnz@mjthomas2@GoalVersee But Messi landed cleat-to-calf, in full view of the calf, and ended up at the ankle. He hit the same body parts Balo did, but from an angle that makes Messi’s appear more intentional. That Messi lifted off his foot AFTER the foul doesn't exonerate him. Stop the cope!
@HarisankarAG1@krazyclw@TaylorTwellman That it can happen is moot. What should the foul be after? Fouls happen in a 50/50, and if a player is a hair late and hits a leg, ankle, or foot by accident, a foul can be called. Balogun's was during a 50/50 aerial, and slow-mo looked bad. Unequal adjudication is the issue.
@HarisankarAG1@LBart24@TaylorTwellman You ignore context to minimize Messi. Messi's foul occurs in the same place: calf, then ankle, turning w/force. Messi is clearly in a more objectively “he should know better” position before the foul. This can't be argued. Far less true with Balogun.
@sc0rpp_@TaylorTwellman So Messi missed the ball, full-sighted went cleats-to-calf, and after the foul, made a "don't card me” gesture, so nothing? Balogun couldn't know where he would land, so he should be given a red? One can reasonably imply recklessness to the 🐐, not Balogun.
@ESPN_BillC Amazing to be so wrong about Texas. If they didn't play 5 Top-10 teams, they're in the playoffs, especially if they didn't play Ohio St.
Second, Alabama has the worst loss! They lost to FSU that lost to Florida. How did you miss this point? Weird how anti-Texas you appear here.
