@BetMGM Calling Harry Kane Phillip Rivers is disrespectful. I’d call him Matthew Stafford at least

@thecyrusjanssen I’m going to root for Donald to fuck off back to the abyss where he belongs. I will absoutely root for USA to stomp Belgium and Balo to score a hat trick

A critical element that the "rulebook purists" arguing Balogun deserved a red card are conveniently overlooking:

BALOGUN was the one who was challenged from behind.

The Bosnian player played *through* Balogun from behind and placed himself in the path of Balogun's natural step.

When he begins taking that step, Balogun has no idea the Bosnian player would even be in front of him. In that sense, you can't really even consider his move a "challenge." It was simply a step that incidentally landed in the same place the opponent's foot did.

In fact, the reason Balogun's step came down so hard is *because* the Bosnian player challenged into him and knocked him off balance.

This is not "reckless" or "excessive force" by any stretch of the imagination.

The red card was *obviously* unjustified from the outset. The only thing FIFA got wrong here is not immediately suspending the red card after the match.

Earlier this year, Cristiano Ronaldo received a three-match ban for a red card in a World Cup qualifying match against Ireland.

However, FIFA deferred two of those games to a one-year probation period, allowing him to play in Portugal's opening World Cup matches without missing the tournament.

The same article used there is being used here:

Article 27 of FIFA’s disciplinary code states that “the judicial body may decide to fully or partially suspend the implementation of a disciplinary measure.”

It adds: “If the person benefiting from a suspended sanction commits another infringement of a similar nature and gravity during the probationary period, the suspension shall be revoked by the judicial body and the sanction enforced without prejudice to any additional sanction imposed for the new infringement.”

Massive news for the United States

@FrancoPanizo The integrity of competition was called into play when Lionel Messi committed the exact same play in group stages without punishment

We haven’t forgot.

Monday, we get it back in blood.

I love that Zlatan Ibrahimović and Thierry Henry are both being vocal about how this game was ultimately about minutes.

Zlatan: “Somebody has lost before in the group & won the world cup”

Henry: “We all remember Argentina lost against Saudi Arabia [in 2022], Spain lost against Switzerland [in 2010], and by the way, they were still not qualified.”

“Something happened tonight — MINUTES. Nobody gets injured. Carry on the momentum.”

Just days after scientists found that bee venom can kill cancer cells, the Trump administration is set to close the nation’s primary bee research laboratory.

That was by far the worst #Survivor finale, possibly ever?

No reactions to winning the show because they had to do a Toyota ad? They didn't give Aubry a big check? No questions for the jury about why they voted a certain way? Jeff spoiling the show live... AWFUL. #Survivor50
