Our #SummerofSoccer Coverage continues on @fox5ny tonight on #SportsXtra@NewYorkRedBulls GK Ethan Horvath! As part of the 2022 World Cup USMNT roster, Ethan gives us his unique perspective, how he’s watching this World Cup & how #RBNY is getting ready to return to action!
FIFA President Gianni Infantino:
“I have seen the public comments regarding the decision of the independent FIFA Disciplinary Committee related to the suspension of Folarin Balogun, and I would like to reiterate a fundamental principle of FIFA’s governance.
“FIFA’s judicial bodies are independent. They operate autonomously, apply the FIFA Disciplinary Code, and decide cases based on the applicable regulations and the specific facts before them. Their independence is essential to the credibility and integrity of football, and this must always be respected.
“Yes, I regularly discuss matters related to the FIFA World Cup with the President of the United States, and on this matter, I did receive a call from President Donald Trump, just as I receive calls from heads of state, government officials, football stakeholders and business executives from around the world on many different issues. During our conversation, I explained that there was an ongoing legal process involving FIFA’s independent judicial bodies and that the case would be decided in due course by the competent bodies. That is how FIFA’s system works, and it is a principle that I will always uphold.
“I read the decisions of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee when they are issued. Sometimes I am surprised by them. Sometimes I agree with them, and sometimes I disagree.
“What I always do, however, is respect those decisions and the autonomy of the bodies that make them. Whether we personally like a decision or not is irrelevant. Respect for independent institutions and the rule of law is what protects the integrity of our competitions and the credibility of FIFA at all times.”
BREAKING @TheAthleticFC

For your #WorldCup viewing entertainment - NY/NJ themed stories from FOX5NY. I'm compiling a channel to view just some of my stories (that will comply w YouTube & FIFA video regulations-some stories will have to be re-edited...please stay tuned for them!) https://t.co/Kb7YjnBSZT
Worth noting Thursday will be the FIRST time the #knicks have had a parade down the Canyon of Heroes. Following the #Jets & #Mets '69 parades then Mayor John Lindsay decided parades for teams cost too much money & their was no corp. sponsorship to offset, so neither title got their due. The #yankees in '77 returned the tradition. Assuming many of the still living older #nba champs will get the treatment Thursday finally. #nbachampionship
