Whether it’s politics or sides of the Mersey, I’m uniting red and blue.

This happened during the Mexico vs. England game yesterday 🤣

FULL timeline of the campaign to bring Balogun back, according to a half dozen U.S. government & soccer officials:
- Wednesday after U.S.-Bosnia match: Andrew Giuliani alerted Trump to the red card (Trump & Giuliani had been talking multiple times/week since start of World Cup and regularly before that.)
- Wed night: Giuliani, Lutnick and U.S. Soccer officials began activating on plans to challenge red card
- That kicked off 4 days of coordinated lobbying, legal maneuvering & diplomacy that stretched from Oval Office to Zurich
- On *Thursday* Trump dialed Gianni Infantino and asked abt FIFA’s rules around the red card decision and grounds for suspension. (They’ve known each other for 8 yrs.)
- FIFA declined to confirm any specific discussions but reiterated to POLITICO that the decision to suspend the one-match ban was made by an independent disciplinary committee.
- As U.S. Soccer’s legal team formally prepared & submitted its appeal to FIFA, Giuliani + Lutnick offered to make White House attorneys available to assist
- At the same time, Giuliani and Scott Goodwin — a hedge-fund manager who had helped pay the salary of Mauricio Pochettino — zeroed in on the officiating history of referee Raphael Claus
-Articles examining previous controversies involving Claus circulated among senior gov officials as they evaluated every argument that could bolster the appeal
- On FIFA side, Emilio García, who oversees the legal affairs of FIFA, advised Infantino on the available procedural options
- García + other FIFA officials worked to determine whether the circumstances of Balogun’s tackle met the narrow standards that would allow the disciplinary decision to be revisited
- By Sunday, FIFA announced that Balogun’s one-match suspension would be suspended
- FIFA insists that the decision was an independent one made by its 18-person disciplinary committee, but it would not say whether the decision was decided through a vote, and it has not published a report on the decision.

[Phil Dyson @phil_dyson]

That camera angle for pens is shit!!

[Phil Dyson @phil_dyson]

The diving, rolling around and screaming in this tournament has been ridiculous!!

[Phil Dyson @phil_dyson]

James Garner would slot perfectly in that right position for England!! As if Reece James was going to last a 6 week tournament.

[Phil Dyson @phil_dyson]

The latest episode of Clarkson’s Farm has only just been released. Let people have chance to watch it before reporting what’s in it!!

[Phil Dyson @phil_dyson]

I wish they’d fuck the 5 action replays off whilst the game is going on!! It’s driving me mad.

[Phil Dyson @phil_dyson]

These hydration breaks need to be fucked off unless it’s unbearable heat. This game is being played in an air conditioned stadium with the roof closed!!

[Phil Dyson @phil_dyson]

They’re not showing the offside evidence because it’s offside!!
