Point of correction you said no other player has been given this , Ronaldo is the first recipient of article 27 for this very same World Cup , he also had a red card and shouldn’t have played the group stages and in his case no one thought his red card was given in error I am kinda surprised that everyone is now making a fuzz when same is done for the USA on a controversial red card
🚨 BREAKING: This statement from @UEFA cannot be understated - this will have huge implications on the tournament moving forward and the relationship between Europe and FIFA.
What do you all think of this situation?
THIS is the red card Donald Trump had overturned 👇
The White House called Gianni Infantino at FIFA & had it overturned
Corruption doesn’t even hide anymore
Just to be clear, then. FIFA:
1) can't possibly intervene when Iran are forced to move, a referee is denied a visa, or fans are barred from the USA
2) can absolutely intervene when a decision goes against the USA that Donald Trump doesn't like
Smashing. All know where we stand
The president admits he doesn’t know what a red card means, calls the referee ‘suspect,’ and confirms he personally asked FIFA to overturn it because it hit ‘our best player.’ Corruption confessed on camera. A dysfunctional country hosting a tournament it doesn’t understand and can’t win without rigging. The US has nothing left to do in football
Trump on Balogun: "I saw the play, and I'm a person that loves sports ... that wasn't a foul. That wasn't even an infraction ... this referee, who is a little bit suspect if you check his past. He made a call that nobody could believe ... he's our best player, or one of our best players. And he gave him a red card. I didn't know what that meant ... yes, I asked for a review by FIFA."
@TheCroatian_ FIFA wants Ronaldo. Croatia won that game. They were robbed. Portugal is going to be destroyed by Spain. Croatia would have had a better shot to beat them.
