This is Beily. He was miraculously found alive under rubble 29 days after the Venezuela earthquakes. He has since been reunited with his 11-year-old human Victoria and is expected to make a full recovery. 14/10 for all
@ManagerTactical Yes:
1. He’s shown he’s great at discovering and managing talent throughout his career.
2. Apart from the Belgium game it was the best brand of soccer I’ve seen us play.
3. He’s embraced our culture and clearly wants the US to succeed unlike the boys club.
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.
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.
FIFA then correctly used Article 27 to review and suspend the ban because the initial VAR error led to an unappealable decision.
I want America’s best legal minds working on an appeal for Flo Balogun, and if that doesn’t work I want a minimum of 30,000 troops ready to deploy to FIFA HQ in Zürich
