If the US Balogun's red card should stand, then Messi should be penalized as well for the same offence
Why is it such a fuss because it's a black man but total silence when Messi did the same?
🇮🇹 | MUNDIAL 2026: El presidente de la Federación Italiana, Malagò, sobre la suspensión de la tarjeta roja suspendida de Folarin Balogun:
"No tiene sentido fingir; esta decisión claramente tiene un sabor político. Cuando ves una decisión como esta, se pierde la meritocracia que es la base del fútbol."
A Fifa proibiu camisa da independência do Haiti.
Aceitou os EUA barrar árbitro da Somália.
Acatou os EUA impedir torcedor da RD Congo.
Ignorou o Irã ser banido dos EUA a cada jogo.
E, agora, cancela cartão vermelho a pedido de Trump.
Não é Copa - é recreio do imperialismo.
To be clear: Whether it is or isn’t a red to Balogun is now irrelevant. Government interference is a violation of FIFA Article 2 & 15, and the punishment is disqualification and suspension. Nepal was suspended.
This is an admission of the violation.
Trump: "Llamé a la FIFA para pedirles que revisen la expulsión"
Art. 19 del Estatuto de FIFA: Queda expresamente prohibida la participación de gobiernos y terceros en las decisiones de las federaciones de fútbol
Trump acaba de admitir un delito y USA debe ser descalificada
🚨 OFFICIAL FIFA STATEMENT
"Due to some unforeseen circumstances, referee Adham Makhadmeh was shot in the leg and will not be able to fulfill his duties for USA vs Belgium. We have therefore hired the highly regarded referee Steve Austin for the game."
🚨𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Some members of FIFA's Executive Committee are calling for the resignation of President Gianni Infantino and are preparing a lawsuit against him.
This comes after revelations that FIFA allegedly bent the rules to favor a player and a country.
