That's a clear red card offence make the USA rest

Sirleo05:
Messi got away with similar incident ,but others are punish for theirs . Fifa and Messi na like 5 and 6 .
tomorrow now some people go dey call am goat, more like a baby goat to me.

Check the two, Messi didn't do it at the ankle. It was far less severe. He removed his leg quickly. However, Messi should have gotten a yellow card, never a red card. But how do you even give the god of football a yellow card? Fear will catch you na. If it were to be Ronaldo, he will collect his yellow card sharp sharp because he is not the GOAT.

AfonjaPriest:
I dey wait make they give Messi red card.

A god is exempted from many things. Dare to be a god like Messi.

But Folarin Balogun have accept it in good fate, man even extend a handshake to the referee, such level of sportsmanship is rare.

Corruption and biasness full this FIFA leadership

Did you know that Ronaldo got a red card in their last world cup qualifications match which should make him automatically suspended for 3 games.

Fifa only suspended him for one match claiming they can't afford Ronaldo to miss 3 matches

USA are not even supposed to be part of the hosting nation for the world cup as they broke fifa rules by fighting other countries

All animals are not equal indeed

Several players have had their red card reduced from 3 to 1 over the years after appeal... so why should Ronaldos be different... fifa said baloguns red card cant b appealed cis the tournament is on... focus on Messi that should have gotten a red card for same often at the beginning of the tournament but dint even get a yellow card...thats whats causing this whole confusion

Messi the GOAT

Even Ronaldo's fans know that

Ronaldo living in the head of Messi fans

Whether calf or ankle ...its a red... according to analysts, messis own was even worse and more dangerous

Nigeria is a mess today because we have folks like this.

NinjaMetahuman:
same corruption is the reason they won't give Nigeria even if it bids.

They would rather take it to Saudi or something.

Use your number 6.

And who told you that I hate USA?

After helping you to fight bandits and you posted this, your visa pending visa will now be denied, no more access to Amelika , Period!!

This is FIFA.....
Nothing you can do.

Dem don Start.....
Always interfering with everything.
Dem still wan bully their way to the world cup trophy

PDPdestroyer:
Russia was banned from international football for invading Ukraine, but guess what, same FIFA looked the other way despite the US invading both Venezuela and attacking Iran just few months to the World cup. We live in a world of hypocrisy where might is right, and nothing else matters

FIFA has seen the errors of their ways. All sporting bodies worldwide are about taking a uniamous decision to re-admit Russia into the Sporting World.

Helloworld123:
When was this your own rule made cos it doesn't make sense logically. Miss 3 matches cos of what? He kill person?

If you get a red, you only get to miss the next match.

When did you start watching football?..... "violent conduct" attracts a red card and a 3 match ban.

NinjaMetahuman:
And next will be another glaring corruption from fifa to overturn it.

Hosting world cup in USA is a big mistake

Lionel Messi committed the same offense but was not shown a red card.

GOAT for fifa

Ronaldo is GOAT for the world

Messi and cheating are five and six

If you are right, the people who make those rules ought have their heads examined. Something that is CLEARLY accidental. The most that ought be awarded is a yellow card, but best thing is warn the player to be more careful or he'll get a yellow card next time. But red card and miss the next game? TOTALLY ridiculous!

I see your point. FIFA will fine and permanently ban any referee who gives Messi a red card!

That's why I'm everything one does in life, just dare to be a GOAT in it. Immunity covers GOATship.

You don run go google and even Google is correcting you that a FIFA panel will have to be set for a 3-day match ban to happen. This is not the default rule for a red card.

So, what violent conduct did Ronaldo commit to deserve a 3-day match ban?

At the moment, USA as a country is the GOAT when we talk about world power. That's why they do things and go scotfree. You can't question the gods(GOAT).

Same way Otem is the GOAT when we talk about the gods at the moment. Otem revealled the capture of Jehovah and Allah(two gods) in a spiritual cage and there's nothing that can be done to him.

Dare to be a GOAT in whatever thing you do.

But to be honest, GOAT aside, Messi does play clean football and has always done so

Yes na. He's the GOAT. You can't get the GOAT label without showing it. He showed workings and he's rightly adjudged the GOAT.

Refs are human too - they take all that into account, your entire personhood.
Messi is definitely the GOAT, followed by Pele, then Maradona

All those people running their mouth here because of perceived hatred for America, if the same thing happened to Nigerian defender, you'll all call for reversal of the red card. Selfish and envious human beings as usual.

Someone who isn't new to football doesn't need to go to Google for such simple things.....I am not you okay kiddo.

Nonetheless, he elbowed an opponent which is a violent conduct and also, panel usually sit to do any review if an appeal was made for such conduct and not to decide the punishment that is already on ground.

Balogun was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Yoruba Nigerian parents.His parents were living in London, and visited New York when his mother was seven months pregnant with him. Airline staff did not allow her to board the family's return flight to London due to safety concerns over the advanced state of her pregnancy, and Balogun was subsequently born in New York.He returned to the United Kingdom with his parents when he was two months old and grew up in London

AreaFada2:
Balogun was born in the US by sheer chance. His parents visited US from their UK base. His mum was pregnant with him. When it was time to return to UK, the airline refused her because her pregnancy was too advanced. So, Folarin was born in US. Although he grew up in UK. He could have played for 9ja or England too.

Yet, until the US Supreme Court overruled Trump's executive order a few days ago, the likes of Balogun wouldn't be qualified to be US citizens anymore.

Hangulsaram:
Lionel Messi committed the same offense but was not shown a red card.

many players have committed same offense and some were shown red and some were shown either yellow or no card at all.

What's your point?

are you a bomber

nope

But I think you should ask some elderly in your family.

....and Messi intentionally committed a foul similar to that of Balogun. But as FIFA Boy that he is, he didn't even get a yellow 🟡 card for it.

FIFA is a corrupt Body
