HASAN IS CORRECT. The way the Trump Administration has been handling the FIFA World Cup Games is unironically worse than how Hitler handled the 1936 Olympics. The amount of corruption has been INSANE.
🚨🗣️ José Mourinho on FIFA overturning Folarin Balogun's red card following Donald Trump's intervention:
"Everyone is acting so shocked today. Everyone is crying about politics and Donald Trump making phone calls to Gianni Infantino to change the rules. But why are we surprised? The integrity of this tournament was thrown in the trash in the very first week.
All this started when FIFA let Lionel Messi escape a clear red card for a studs-up challenge. When you decide that the rules do not apply to the poster boy, you open the door for everyone else. If the referee's monitor can be ignored for Argentina's captain to protect the brand, why can't a suspension be ignored for the United States President?
Folarin Balogun gets a red card, Trump makes a call, and suddenly FIFA finds a magic 'Article 27' to let him play against Belgium. It is a circus. We are no longer watching a World Cup, we are watching a political reality show where the rulebook is just a suggestion based on who you are and who is watching."
I wish people realised that "socialism" means caring about the working class, feeding starving children and giving people affordable healthcare, housing and more..
“Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, has not yet understood the GAME.
Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood LIFE.”
