This would be a DP deal in MLS. Everywhere else it’s just another day in the transfer market. The kinds of deals and players who MLS teams can’t even look at to bolster squads because of its own rules. Not world beaters, but a good chunk of players in top 5 leagues.
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
Gianni and FIFA “suspended” a violent conduct suspension for Ronaldo so he could play in the World Cup (actual, real fact)
Surely Balogun and the US can appeal the red card suspension?
Messi doesn’t get the red for a clear studs up tackle, but Balogun does for a clearly unintentional tackle.
Dzeko didn’t even get a yellow for a blindside body check on Adams’s head, but Balogun gets this red.
Unbelievable.
