@PlifPlafSplouf @tpageMLS And the same rules should be applied for everyone. Suspensions should be absolutely reviewable

[Rafal P @rafal0077]

@tpageMLS Exactly, the "Pandora's box" is acctually a pretty good box to open in this case. I understand why mid game decisions cant be reviewed, but why the hell not review suspensions? Why just accept that corrupt referees are changing the course of the turnament

[Rafal P @rafal0077]

@ABlackPolitical Wouldn't be surprised if they start some provocations on the pitch under the assumption the ref wont want to start more controversies

[Rafal P @rafal0077]

@CFC_Dubois They also went from "Will definitely get eliminated in group stage" to allegedly elite teams crying because its unfair to play them at full strength.

[Rafal P @rafal0077]

@apieck @IMAO_ Here's the thing about rules though, the whole rule book is part of the rules, not just whatever ones you pick. Yes, that includes article 27 :)

@Vixlio @greg16676935420 I mean, when DOGE was trying to fix the deficit you leftists were all crying and launching terorrist attacks. Now you are crying that there is a deficit 🤣🤣

[Rafal P @rafal0077]

@HITCSevens Pretty much every world cup win every, or dare i say every world cup game ever is "tainted by accusations of favouritism".

[Rafal P @rafal0077]

@MiguelDelaney Red cards are issued by the referee, but suspensions are a disciplinary measure

[Rafal P @rafal0077]

@gnglonghorn @ScottyGrays @tombogert "mad at the timing". The timing affects the US just as bad as it affects Belgium. Both teams had to train under the assumption balogun won't be there. Both teams only found out today that he will be there

[Rafal P @rafal0077]

@Islandboy1Short @BlaiseInKC The Belgian football association are already crying before the game even started. I don't think they are quiet as good as you think they are.

[Rafal P @rafal0077]

@TelegraphDucker Crying because they know they are cooked when they face the US.

[Rafal P @rafal0077]

@b3lmln "biggest corruption in modern times" i.e. A unfair red card in a sports tournament was reversed.

[Rafal P @rafal0077]

@synncube111 @JacobsBen It literally is explained "FIFA Disciplinary Committee may decide to suspend the enforcement of a previously imposed disciplinary sanction".

[Rafal P @rafal0077]

@DinoBosnianCule @liabinkin It was punished, the team had to play with 10 players until the end of the match. Pretty harsh punishment considering it was an accident and questionable if it was even a foul

[Rafal P @rafal0077]

@nolesfan2011 @sincerelykath The damage is already done, you cant fix the wrongful decision perfectly now. It does however seem like the best option is to do what they did. What else do you do? Would it be more fair to not let the US play with their most important player?

[Rafal P @rafal0077]

@Gryffix @grok Was the call really only controversial in the US?

[Rafal P @rafal0077]

@damuddyfunkster @milehighmill @FrancoPanizo "your tiny little brains can’t handle the rules" if you read the rules you will realise the red card wasn't warranted. Yes, wrongful decisions happened over the years, but that doesn't mean we should continue making bad decisions for the sake of precedent

[Rafal P @rafal0077]

@ChesnoidGaming Does it really matter? It was clearly the fairer decision. Every precedent every was set by an unprecedented decision.

[Rafal P @rafal0077]

@damuddyfunkster @milehighmill @FrancoPanizo And what rule exactly warranted the issuing of a red card?

[Rafal P @rafal0077]

@TheBosnian11 "No debate, no controversy" except there very much was a controversy, and the vast majority of experts who commented said it shouldn't have been a red card
