🚨 Egypt's Coach:
"I will say this regardless of the consequence, this was clearly a rigged match.
If they want Argentina to win so bad, why call everyone to come and participate?"
Why aren't ESPN Or Fabrizio or any media outlets positing this !?
🚨🚨DES SUPPORTERS ARGENTINS BRANDISSENT LE DRAPEAU D’ISRAËL POUR PROVOQUER LE SÉLECTIONNEUR ÉGYPTIEN !!! 😳🤮
Hossam Hassan avait invité le monde du football et les supporters à ne pas oublier les victimes à Gaza. 🇵🇸
Un geste totalement DÉGOÛTANT…
Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.
If FIFA want to stay consistent with their statutes, suspension of the United States Federation and team from the World Cup for political interference should follow! #FIFAWorldCup
FIFA President Gianni Infantino:
“I have seen the public comments regarding the decision of the independent FIFA Disciplinary Committee related to the suspension of Folarin Balogun, and I would like to reiterate a fundamental principle of FIFA’s governance.
“FIFA’s judicial bodies are independent. They operate autonomously, apply the FIFA Disciplinary Code, and decide cases based on the applicable regulations and the specific facts before them. Their independence is essential to the credibility and integrity of football, and this must always be respected.
“Yes, I regularly discuss matters related to the FIFA World Cup with the President of the United States, and on this matter, I did receive a call from President Donald Trump, just as I receive calls from heads of state, government officials, football stakeholders and business executives from around the world on many different issues. During our conversation, I explained that there was an ongoing legal process involving FIFA’s independent judicial bodies and that the case would be decided in due course by the competent bodies. That is how FIFA’s system works, and it is a principle that I will always uphold.
“I read the decisions of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee when they are issued. Sometimes I am surprised by them. Sometimes I agree with them, and sometimes I disagree.
“What I always do, however, is respect those decisions and the autonomy of the bodies that make them. Whether we personally like a decision or not is irrelevant. Respect for independent institutions and the rule of law is what protects the integrity of our competitions and the credibility of FIFA at all times.”
Recently, FIFA suspended Nepal’s football federation over government interference. Several federations have faced sanctions for the same reason.
Now we learn the White House made a direct call to FIFA asking Infantino to review Balogun’s red card.
FIFA insists the decision was handled by an independent disciplinary panel and could not be influenced externally.
But how is a direct call from a government to FIFA over a player’s suspension not, at the very least, political interference?
Whether it is or isn’t a red to Balogun is now irrelevant. Government interference is a violation of FIFA Article 2 & 15, and the punishment is disqualification and suspension. #FIFAWorldCup
Best World Cup ever. Storm delayed games, hydration breaks, fans refused visas, Iranians treated like vermin, referees refused entry, cops kicking off over players taking pictures with kids, Infantino crying it in for Argentina and now a pedo bending the rules. Good job👍
The reason the world is upset with Israel is because of the 700,000+ innocent Palestinians they’ve murdered.
It’s not because they’re Jewish. Hope that helps.
