@FabioGhironi The US didn't invent article 27--FIFA did.

[NYKnicks123 @NYKnicks124]

@FrancoPanizo @DUVAL_1989 Rule 27 allows it though. Hate the game but it's in there.

[NYKnicks123 @NYKnicks124]

@DiceElDani So let them explain their decision. Article 27 gives them the authority to do it, now let's find out why they did it.

[NYKnicks123 @NYKnicks124]

@ShaneBarrett442 @HausenKS Article 27 is also part of the rules.

[NYKnicks123 @NYKnicks124]

@martynziegler It's happened before so it's not unprecedented, that's clear. The other two claims are obviously debatable.

[NYKnicks123 @NYKnicks124]

@dilanesper You're the precedent guy! So surely you know that FIFA has done this before. It's rare but not unprecedented. : )

[NYKnicks123 @NYKnicks124]

@Toddbg21 @MarkGottlieb Exactly there are no real boycotts, which is why fifa continues to fifa.

[NYKnicks123 @NYKnicks124]

@MarkGottlieb @Toddbg21 Complaints didn't stop everyone from buying tickets and going to Qatar. Reminds me of the UN. We will send you many strongly worded letters!

[NYKnicks123 @NYKnicks124]

@MaMoMVPY Article 27 is part of FIFA's rules, not America's.

@dilanesper @dnieporent @polyminnow @AvianIncisors Top 16 in the world is very good. That's not what suck means.

[NYKnicks123 @NYKnicks124]

@dilanesper @polyminnow @AvianIncisors We just made the round of 16. We don't suck anymore and you should stop insulting the team by saying so.

[NYKnicks123 @NYKnicks124]

@supply_side_acc @dilanesper What games did they do it for in this tournament?

[NYKnicks123 @NYKnicks124]

@dilanesper I think the red card was within the rules and should stand. But article 27 is also in the rules-- you should read it! Disagree all you want with the decision but they have the authority to do it.

[NYKnicks123 @NYKnicks124]

@ventasino @dilanesper Sorry, 66.4 doesn't say this, but article 9, section 6 does.

[NYKnicks123 @NYKnicks124]

@ventasino @dilanesper You didn't read it. The text says, "unless otherwise stipulated in the disciplinary code. " That's Rule 27.

[NYKnicks123 @NYKnicks124]

@DiceElDani The red card remains on his record and was not appealed. The suspension was lifted per article 27, as happened with Ronaldo and others.

[NYKnicks123 @NYKnicks124]

@NickKristof You can fear that. Fear away. I won't see it that way without actual proof that trump caused the suspension lift.

[NYKnicks123 @NYKnicks124]

@realDarkElation @dilanesper Notice he stopped talking. Lol.

[NYKnicks123 @NYKnicks124]

@dilanesper The red card was not rescinded from his record. The suspension was lifted per article 27. Two different things. Sorry.

[NYKnicks123 @NYKnicks124]

@dilanesper Of course he called. Not disputed. But I won't accept a phone call as proof of a COMMITTEE decision without further evidence.
