One of the best things I have ever learned, is to never have expectations. If you go into something with expectations you can only be let down. Going in with zero expectations and an open mind leaves no room for let down. ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
So to recap what happened with the USMNT:
โข Balogun received a bogus red card
โข VAR protocol isn't followed (no slow-mo)
โข Trump calls Infantino to ask about the process
โข US Soccer lawyers preapre & submit an appeal
FIFA's independent 18-person disciplinary committee then met, approved the appeal, and told Balogun he could play in Monday's match against Belgium.
That's what everyone is complaining about?
All rules were followed, and that same process is open to every other country. The only difference is everyone knows the red card was a mistake to begin with.

That red card was universally condemned at the time as not only too harsh, but a blatant misuse of the official VAR system. The red card auto-triggered a review by the FICA DC, and they agreed the suspension was too far.
Not sure where all the outrage is coming from.
The problem is he DIDNโT get a red card
He got NO card
VAR gave him a red
How many times in the last 30 years was a player shown NO card, then upgraded to red on VAR?
Ahhh, VAR is new ๐

Not only does Zlatan believe there never should have been a red card, he believes the reversal should have been made SOONER. You expect me to believe twitter losers over Ibra?? ๐๐
