Sources: President Trump, commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, and White House task force head Andrew Giuliani put together a team of elite lawyers — from outside the government — to challenge the Flo Balogun red card. Specifically they challenged the use of slow motion instant replay to give the red card, which they argued violated FIFA rules. The president also conveyed to Gianni Infantino, FIFA’s president, that the appeal had been filed and he believed the red card penalty was excessive. FIFA’s independent committee reviewed the decision and agreed the penalty was incorrectly given, rescinding it under their rule 27 authority.

🚨🇺🇸 Zlatan Ibrahimović hails Christian Pulisic after USA 2-0 Bosnia & Herzegovina
“People always expect the captain to score the goals and take the headlines. But sometimes the greatest performance is making everyone around you better. Pulisic was the heartbeat of this team. Every dangerous attack started with him, he kept asking questions, he never stopped running, and even when a goal was taken away from him, he kept playing with the same hunger. That is leadership—not complaining, but responding.”
“When Balogun was sent off, I watched Pulisic closely. Some captains panic. Some disappear. He became even bigger. He demanded the ball, calmed his teammates, and made sure Bosnia never believed they had control. That is what separates good players from real leaders.”
“Tillman scored the masterpiece, Freese made the saves, the defenders threw their bodies in front of everything, but do not forget the man wearing the armband. Pulisic carried the pressure of an entire nation and still played with courage. That is why the United States are still in this World Cup. You need talent to win matches, but you need players like Pulisic to win tournaments.”

@777TheCross777@wwalsh You’re a pretty sad, angry and confused individual with all the bible scripture you’ve got quoted all over your page but when someone doesn’t agree/questions your point of view, you don’t have the intellectual capacity to prove your point with words so you resort to insults 🤷🏻♂️🤡
#USMNT midfielder Malik Tillman may have just scored one of the most difficult free kicks in U.S. World Cup history.
Somebody give this man an honorary doctorate in physics.
