So to recap what happened with the USMNT:
• Balogun received a bogus red card
• VAR protocol isn't followed (no slow-mo)
• Trump calls Infantino to ask about the process
• US Soccer lawyers preapre & submit an appeal
FIFA's independent 18-person disciplinary committee then met, approved the appeal, and told Balogun he could play in Monday's match against Belgium.
That's what everyone is complaining about?
All rules were followed, and that same process is open to every other country. The only difference is everyone knows the red card was a mistake to begin with.
JUST IN: Keir Starmer reportedly “intervened” to stop England’s match against Mexico from being moved, fearing the change would hand Mexico an altitude advantage.
EXCL: Keir Starmer personally stepped in to stop FIFA bringing forward England’s kick-off last night as he feared Mexico were trying to gain an advantage.
The PM told the FA they were not to accept moving the match.
