Balogun was in on goal. He beat the defender and was about to score.
No red card. No penalty. No yellow card. No foul. No review.
The bizarre thing is that Fox Sports showed a replay that began just AFTER the defender let go of the arm. So weird. How could the officials miss this? And how could the TV crew miss it as well? @USMNT
Hockey: You punched someone in the face several times? Take a 5 minute breather and you can come back in the game.
Soccer: You accidentally stepped on someone's ankle? You're kicked out and suspended for the next game.
Soccer is soft.
USMNT striker Folarin Balogun just received a red card for this play vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In Argentina's opening group stage match vs. Algeria, Leo Messi attempted this tackle yet received no card despite making contact on the player's calf.
Did either of these calls deserve a red card?
Just to clarify, the NBA put out a statement saying “following an investigation including multiple interviews and video review, the league found no basis to any claim of bias or misconduct by game officials” but then rescinded all THREE technicals that crew called.
Chet Holmgren is 7 feet tall. The defender here is 6 feet tall. What the fuck are we doing here? This isn’t basketball
Also, didn’t the league say they’re not rewarding this anymore? But the rules are a little different for OKC huh
Whoa.... Devin Booker just WENT OFF on the NBA refs right now in the post game press conference:
"It's definitely something that has to be looked at. I heard (Alex) Caruso tell them to call the tech and he ended up doing it. In my 11 years, I haven't called a ref out by name, but James (Williams) was terrible tonight, through and through. It's bad for the sport, bad for the integrity of the sport. People are going to start viewing this as the WWE if they're not held responsible."
"I know I haven't won a championship in this league but I have been in it for 11 years now, so to get to this point to be treated like that, for me to even be saying something out loud, it's bad. It's my first time in 11 years but it's needed. Whatever, I get fined for it, everybody can pull the clips and see where the frustration comes from."
This play didn’t go in the stat sheet as a sack, but watch what 97 does.
Never let someone on this app try to tell you someone performed poorly one year based on a box score.
Is the Sexy Dexy better than the Griddy?! It might be… Don’t tell Ja’Marr Chase 😅😂😬
The Bengals officially signed Dexter Lawrence to a one year, $28 million extension on Sunday following their blockbuster trade with the Giants
None of these plays results in a sack for Dexter Lawrence. But he affected all of these plays.
Forcing throwaways
Throws under pressure
Other players getting sacks because of his pressure
This is why I think sack totals don't paint the full picture
