You root for your country.
I think the red card was wrong.
You think the appeal process was wrong.
(I would argue it shouldn’t have needed one)
We disagree.
I am American, so I’m pleased Flo can play.
It will ultimately be decided on the field.

(I’ve been on appeal calls with both the NFL and the Premier League many times. Trust me, there are times you know you’re likely fighting a losing battle, but you fight it anyway because that’s what you do for your team. Every now and then it works. But the vast majority you either lose an appeal you thought you should’ve won or you lose one you already knew you were going to lose. So it’s nice to be on the winning side of one that shouldn’t have been red in the first place. Still have to go out and perform now.)
I obviously want the @USMNT to win against Belgium. But this seems correct to me: this would be the right thing for @balogun to do. To reject the unfair (dodgy?) intervention from @realDonaldTrump.
Alot of people are asking me how this red card got reversed. What happened behind the scenes? Who got it done? Who were my sources that made me confident enough to stake my entire reputation on this Davey Pitch bomb . Well a great journalist never reveals their sources. Sorry #balogun
