I forget that most of the world wasn’t fully aware of the absolute cuckoo bananas circus that is CONCACAF, and I am so, so happy that they’re getting such an on-brand introduction to the madness with this World Cup.
To all the Europeans clutching their pearls over this after spending the last several days Eurosplaining the sport to us, let me explain it to you.
Even if Balogun deserved a red (he didn’t), the referee misused VAR under FIFA’s own rules. That resulted in a red card that couldn’t be appealed.

If y’all don’t fine Laeticia Amihere for this FLOP, there’s no point in having it in the CBA. Y’all can’t pick and choose when you want to enforce the rules. Get on it NOW. @WNBA@CathyEngelbert
It's kinda funny and awesome that 250 years after the Declaration of Independence, the Pope is American, the son of the King of England* lives in the United States, and his grandchildren, who are also direct descendants of George III, are American citizens

This is why "eyes on the space" safety is so important -- and why the answer to public safety problem is not just more law enforcement, but more development that brings more people to urban areas.
Similarly, crime on the CTA has decreased as ridership has increased. Bring more people into the public realm, and public safety will automatically improve.
(enforcing laws is also valid and effective)
