@PPetesStache@raiderhogsquid Your intent was to diminish the success we’ve had by incorrectly reducing it to lucking into one billionaire and failing to account for how well we’ve structured everything.
Ironically, it’s y’all that had one donor and were unprepared for NIL leading to 700+ days w/o a B12 win.
Congrats to Belgium — they dominated us. But I’m not sure we would have beaten any World Cup team today. On the biggest stage in the biggest game in US soccer history in front of an electric home crowd, our team completely no showed and embarrassed itself today.
FIFA got it right by suspending Folarin Balogun’s Red Card under Article 27.
Belgium’s protesting the decision isn’t about the integrity of the game. It’s about getting an advantage over the USA.
If it was about the integrity of the game, they would be championing Balogun having his Red card suspended because it was improper use of the VAR system and not a Red card offense.
Where were the appeals when Cristiano Ronaldo got his 3 game red card ban suspended and reduced to a 1 game ban on a friendly so he could play this entire World Cup?
DR Congo and Uzbekistan didn’t protest Cristiano Ronaldo eligibility to play.
They played Portugal at full strength.
If Belgium doesn’t want to play now because FIFA made the right call and the USA has Folarin Balogun back in the lineup, then THAT’S WEAK.
They don’t deserve to win.
Put the ball down and play.
Don’t pick up your ball and go home.
Breaking: Folarin Balogun will be available to play in USA's Round of 16 match against Belgium on Monday, FIFA announced.
The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has suspended the red card issued to the USA striker during their Round of 32 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
