American Calls On FBI To Investigate Brazilian Ref Who Gave Balogun Red Card by BlackViper(op): 3:41pm On Jul 02

His name is Evan and he has nearly 100,000 followers on YouTube.

We need to investigate this man immediately.

Call the FBI.

Call the CIA.

Call the Department of Justice.

I don't care.

Call somebody and look into this
guy. The rest of the world was talking
about how Americans don't know soccer.

Well, we do now. And this is what you're going to get. Are you ready?

So, obviously last night, USA was playing Bosnia and Herzegovina. And late in the match, this happens:

Flo Balogun is one of the
best players on our team. He had already scored a goal at this point, and he gets a red card for an action that many other players have done in this tournament including one guy by the name of Messi who did the same thing if not worse and did not get a red card.

But to cut a long story short, now that Flo got a red card, he cannot compete in our huge round of 16 game against Belgium on Monday next week. And it's all because of this ref from Brazil right here, whose name is Raphael Claus. And ironically, once this red card happened, we started digging in to Mr. Claus here.

In 2024, the Brazilian Parliament opened an investigation into match fixing and irregular cards in the Brazilian League Series A. And guess
who was called in to testify?Mr. Claus.

He was never charged, but
multiple Brazilian clubs while this investigation was ongoing came forward and asked for him to be removed from officiating in their games.

And here's where it gets even
more interesting:

Per IFAB and VAR protocols, slow motion is only supposed to be used for facts,point of contact, off-sides, and other things like that.

But when a referee is judging the
intensity of a challenge, especially what is going to separate a red card from a yellow card, he has to watch the replay at normal speed in real time. And Mr. Claus here never even called a foul when this happened in real time. And then he went to the sideline, looked at still frames and slow motion, and changed it to a red card.

Hm. Now, FIFA says that the US can't appeal this red card itself. But you know what we're going to do? We're going to appeal this damn protocol because he looked at slow-mo to give Flo a red card.

FIFA's going to have their hands full.

We're not going to mess around here.

You guys should have never gotten the Americans involved. You should have just kept us out of it.

Now, this is going to be your life so accept it.

Make Dem Cha no forget to call V.I.O and lastma cha angry. Because the robbery wasn't just an ordinary one but armed robbery to be precise angry. To even think that that Argentine midget got away when he committed the same foul is another reason why isakaba boys should even be called upon to investigate that ref angry

Justice should be balanced please.

Didn't football have a governing body when the same FBI investigated the immediate former FIFA president, Sepp Blatter? That investigation brought down Blatter.

One referee don buy America market. They are even going to know if he is a Muslim or a terrorist. I hope he doesn't regret officiating in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. All his covered sins will now be visited and adequately compensated with the right and available methodology. Don't play or joke with the USA, not when President Donald Trump is in charge .
Re: American Calls On FBI To Investigate Brazilian Ref Who Gave Balogun Red Card by Reference(m): 4:05pm On Jul 02
If this ever happened the referee is in serious trouble. His history is not looking good.

And if you think this is not possible, think again. It was American investigations that led to the collapse of the reign of once upon a time, Almighty Joseph Blatter.

Once the DOJ looks your way....na big problem you dey. Hope FIFA is ready to back him but for all intents and purposes I don't think anything untowards happened.

Bookies have an ultra sophisticated way of detecting fraud and will have blown the whistle on the ref immediately 'unusual' betting patterns occurred.

They should rather investigate fifa and Argentina ...they caused the confusion cos they wanna favour Messi...now they are in a mess ... baloguns foul was a straight red...the ref was correct ...but they are now calling on why should he be sent off when Messi did the exact same thing and dint get even a yellow card ... I happy say the world is now seeing the favorism towards Messi... E wan use favorism claim goat 🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂
Re: American Calls On FBI To Investigate Brazilian Ref Who Gave Balogun Red Card by givedemwotowoto:
I think it was an unfair red card, very unfair.

The ref shouldn’t be allowed to participate in the knockout refereeing. He was too lenient with cards in the first place, the Bosnia footballers were a bit too rough.

Balogun didn’t even see what he was stepping on, his body and face positioned in a different angle, completely an unfortunate accident, but nothing intentional there.

Exactly.
Fifa don buy expensive market.

Now, don't forget that despite the fact that Messi plays in the US league, Trump side-stepped him, invited Ronaldo to the White House and hosted him there.

Fifa go explain taya.

The difference between the Whites and the Blacks is action! See how they took action in registering their displeasure, but Blacks (Nigerians especially), it would have been all bark (complain) and no bite (action)..

In addition, I can't believe that Nigerians are enduring such hardships from leaders who are not that powerful. We all are waiting for a messiah to come miraculously to save all...

They have forgotten.
Three CONCACAF Presidents including the famous Jack Warner (Nigerians will recognize this fellow on his contributions towards our hosting of world events a few decades ago) have all been indicted by the DOJ and a couple have done time.

The US does not give a damn who you are and the FBI's reach is global inspite of the INTERPOL.
