If FIFA want to stay consistent with their statutes, suspension of the United States Federation and team from the World Cup for political interference should follow! #FIFAWorldCup
A critical element that the "rulebook purists" arguing Balogun deserved a red card are conveniently overlooking:
BALOGUN was the one who was challenged from behind.
The Bosnian player played *through* Balogun from behind and placed himself in the path of Balogun's natural step.
When he begins taking that step, Balogun has no idea the Bosnian player would even be in front of him. In that sense, you can't really even consider his move a "challenge." It was simply a step that incidentally landed in the same place the opponent's foot did.
In fact, the reason Balogun's step came down so hard is *because* the Bosnian player challenged into him and knocked him off balance.
This is not "reckless" or "excessive force" by any stretch of the imagination.
The red card was *obviously* unjustified from the outset. The only thing FIFA got wrong here is not immediately suspending the red card after the match.
Still shocking to me that a shot shape I hit at the local pitch and putt was IN PLAY and crowned a US Open champ... same guy that just so happened to destroy pieces of golf history (lockers) at the 2025 US Open
.@Coach_Sanford2 was given the keys to a mid major Maserati in 2016 and crashed before he even left the dealership lot. It was miserable watching this arrogant, nepo baby ruin the work put in to a program by Willie, Bobby, and Jeff
A fair question to ask: Is Mike Sanford the worst FBS coach of all time?
-Went 9-16, including a loss to an FCS school, in two seasons
-WKU went 23-5 the two years before he got hired
-The year after Sanford was fired, WKU went 9-4
If you can, name a coach that did worse ⬇️
WKU with the nation’s leader in rushing touchdowns for 2016, Ace Wales, to dead last in rushing a year later — yeah, he probably could’ve helped. But, sure, BG KY and the folks that “couldn’t understand big words”was your problem
This chapter of my life is closed now, it was called ‘The First PGA tour win’…
Thank you to everyone who supported me from the bottom of my heart, it means so much. I’m honestly so excited to get back to work and the next chapter!! See you at Wentworth.
