@Leafmalone @JonesHowDareYou Perhaps it would help if Jillian Segal could let us know what would be an acceptable number of dead Palestinians, particularly children.

@Lexibexiio Wow, why don't you have a sook?
Just get over yourself, and try to enjoy life!!

Repost if you think Gianni Infantino is the worst FIFA president ever.

[Ian Martin @ianm3631]

Absolutely agree, Balogun is totally innocent in the corruption issue, and should be seen as a very skillful & respectful player.

[Benjamin Cowen @benjamincowen]

Do not blame Balogun for this outcome.

He did not complain about the red card.

He shook the ref's hand.

He said that he wanted to be a good role model for kids.

Most other players whine on every single foul called.

Balogun showed class and I am a lifetime fan.

@garrett_di71834 Where is the -10?

[Ian Martin @ianm3631]

@its_Lexieroy Get on and show the bloody thing, or just stop pretending!

[Parisienne 🇫🇷🇪🇺 @75002Parisienne]

Now this one is funny on several levels … 😏

[Ian Martin @ianm3631]

@RGIII So, you obviously don't have any concerns about cheating?
No clear thinking person can condone what Trump & Infantino orchestrated to favour America.

[Ian Martin @ianm3631]

@3YearLetterman They don't cheat, so there is one thing America is definitely better at.

[Ian Martin @ianm3631]

@SenTomCotton How did all that go Tom??

[Ian Martin @ianm3631]

@M1D3V Nah, I wasn't even vaguely interested in the FIFA World Cup till your President corrupted the process to get a red card penalty changed thru the equally corrupt Infantino.
Got everything you deserved!!!

[EVERALD COMPTON @EVERALDATLARGE]

Cheers for #Belgium. They thrashed #USA 4 goals to 1 in #WorldCup soccer. What a smack in the eye for #Trump the cheat. Absolutely wonderful.

[Ian Martin @ianm3631]

@cenkuygur No, they are complaining that Trump corrupted the whole process, and destroyed what little integrity he, FIFA & Infantino had.

[Ian Martin @ianm3631]

How good is it with Belgium beating America!
Karma is such a bitch sometimes.

Iran couldn’t get visas. They didn’t intervene.

A Somalian referee couldn’t get a visa. They didn’t intervene.

Fans of Muslim countries couldn’t get a visa. They didn’t intervene.

Ronaldo got a red card. Intervened.

USA player got a red card. Intervened.

F*** FIFA. Corrupt.

[Ian Martin @ianm3631]

@RpsAgainstTrump No chance, America is ruled by a corrupt wanna be dictator!

[Ian Martin @ianm3631]

Absolutely agree, no person who supports integrity in sport, and the independence of referees can possibly support America today, and will cheer very loudly when they get beaten.
Go Belgium!!

[Mike Carlton @MikeCarlton01]

10am tomorrow, AEST. Guess we’re all cheering for Belgium after the suckhole Infantino fixed it for Trump.

[dave lawrence 🐟🐟🐠 @dave43law]

Been saying this all day

Share - it needs to happen

[Ian Martin @ianm3631]

And now corrupts the whole of the FIFA World Cup - politics NEVER belongs in sport!!!

[Canada Hates Trump @AntiTrumpCanada]

Go fuck yourself, you feeble-minded shitheel. America doesn’t need patriotism lessons from a convicted felon & adjudicated rapist who incited an attack on the Capitol, tried to steal an election & dreams of being a dictator for life. Fuck all the way off.

[Craig F̶o̶s̶t̶e̶r̶ @Craig_Foster]

Rubbish.

The rules were applied, relevant checks were made and players and coaches are expected to abide by them.

All teams feel hard done by with red cards, but their countries don’t interfere politically to have the rules changed, upsetting the very integrity of the system.

There are now 18 rules of the game.

Including the new Trump rule: the rules are what Trump says they are.

Pochettino had an opportunity to reinforce the integrity of the game.

He failed.

Dismally.
