Messi the goat but this team is coddled by refs
This win was stolen from Egypt I have never seen a game this cheated in my life and and I have been watching soccer for weeks now
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.
1. It was never a red card
2. The decision was an improper use of VAR
3. Multiple players at this World Cup had studs up challenges (including against us) unpunished
4. The optics of the White house getting involved are bad but the decision is the correct one
Expanding this World Cup to 48 teams was a mistake, now we got teams like Belgium, Uruguay, Turkey, and Ecuador actively diluting this tournament for the worst
❤️ A Korean couple wearing Mexico shirts were spotted enjoying tacos in a restaurant in Mexico City, while a local looked on with the biggest smile on his face.
He's so happy because they are happy enjoying his culture and traditions. 🇰🇷🇲🇽
