“Why hasn’t soccer taken off more in America?” As a casual fan, I present to you exhibit A. Balogun has been intentionally held, kicked, fouled harder than this the entire game. Then this no intent, accidental contact foul draws red. Stupid sport can’t get out of its own way.
this wasn’t even a card and no VAR…. the game is gone. unbelievable incompetence. @FIFAcom better overturn that or just fold the entire organization. that cannot stand. especially when this wasn’t even looked at.
In a World Cup match, if Messi makes that same bang-bang play as Balogun and accidentally steps on an opponent, does he get a red card?
Of course not and you’re lying to yourself if you claim otherwise.
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?
Balogun just committed the same foul as Messi vs Algeria and the media all told me it’s an accident so it’s fine. NOW THEY GIVE US A RED FOR THAT LMFAOOOOO SUCH BULLSHIT
