President Trump called FIFA President Gianni Infantino to discuss the red card given to Team USA’s Folarin Balogun during Wednesday night’s game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, an person familiar with the conversation told The Hill. Trump later cheered the reversal, calling it an “injustice.”
FIFA said its independent panel overturned the red card suspension for Monday’s game.
Bad calls are part of every sport. It happens. Rules are rules, and if the there is no official instant replay or challenge procedure then the call stands. Rules are fucking rules.
This is no longer about a bad call. It’s about integrity.
Ah yes… FIFA, a paragon of integrity.
Do you all hear yourselves? FIFA Article 27 exists exclusively to not have this so-called integrity you all are concerned about.
