FIFA has always been corrupt, for a very long time,and this is just the latest manifestation

Anyway, Belgium will beat USA, even with Balogun in the US side.

Also, to be fair, a case can be made that the foul was not deliberate. I don't think Balogun knew that his legs would land where they did and if he wanted to change things, it would require him to think fast in micromilliseconds , which is not possible. Still it looked brutal, and the ref had to give the card.
watch as refree decision will help US beat belgium

Power na your mate huh
The most powerful nation on the planet earth,is not just a title.

Infantimo only took a bow and worshipped a power above his.

I don't blame him!

It can be overturned if appealed. Its a simple reasoning.

He even posted about it on IG that he wants the guy to play.
If you are powerful rules won’t apply to you
God bless the USA
I guess the same applies to Nigeria.
God bless Nigeria.

The worst World Cup ever.... even the blind not paying attention can see hypocrisy and blatant favouritism.

Just as no regime could be worse than the present NFF, there can not be a more corrupt FIFA than the one presently headed by INFANTino.

Indeed, there is something in a name.
Re: White House Pressure On Infantino Led To Overturn Of Balogun Red Card by IsraeliAIRFORCE: 11:54am On Jul 06
FIFA used the exact same clause: Under Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code, the committee imposed a three-match ban but suspended two matches for a one-year probation period, allowing Ronaldo to play from the tournament start.

So until it's intentional that is when the red card is deserving. huh
I don tire for them, please keep asking them.
Even if he killed the Bosnian man on the pitch, the argument will still be "unintentional, manslaughter come back and play again".

Pure corruption. But, power na power no matter what cheesy
There's nothing like power here. Infantino is just a corrupt Sepp Blatter's boy even though they're having issues. Since Blatter was forced to step down, he placed his boy to continue stealing.

Take a look at the foul a second time and be judge. With the powerdrunk man in the oval office, the US will bully its way to the final and threaten to invade whichever country it plays in the final, if they don’t lay down their gauntlet and allow the US team steamroll its way to the trophy
Have you taken a look at 2% of the GDP that was disappeared by your god before you start worrying about the US?
Just look. 8.8trn and they are telling you to fry akara

Would you have been able to withstand pressure and blackmail from the American government if you were the FIFA president?!

There is nothing like power here or what did you type? Some of you will see blue and call it red without thinking twice just to force a meaningless argument.

Sorry bro, huge global power is at play here and the same power swept off Sepp Blatter.

If this is true, then Infantino needs to go with immediate effect.

Once FIFA, WHO, and other key international organizations start bowing to external influence and politics, then the world is in serious trouble.

FIFA needs to be rescued from the crappy leadership of that suit-wearing egghead.

Is this the first time a red card offence is overruled? It happens in all leagues when an appeal has been reviewed. Everybody is pouring saliver because it's America. But when it was Messi, hmmmmn, that's ok. He's a GOAT and so untouchable. The world is really corrupt mentally.

I


I'm not in support of what FIFA did to overturn Balogun's red card, because that shows how they can be influenced and how they are gradually killing the game we all love. But the truth is, the Belgium team is a shit team, they can't beat the American team. The Belgium team is one of the weakest teams in this world cup. If not that Senegal were having dress room issues, we wouldn't be talking about that shit team in this competition anymore.

Stop capping beans here, America no be your mate or your country mate in anything on earth.

Nothing like power drunk man in oval office any shit.. all American Former Presidents will still show that power anytime anyday..

Obama killed Osama bin laden inside Pakistani territory (soil) and nothing happened, Pakistan Military couldn't do shit about it.
Bush killed Gaddafi and Iraqi President then and nothing happened.
Riggan killed Japanese population with an atomic bomb and nothing happened.
Trump kidnapped Venezuela president and his wife inside Venezuelan soil and nothing happened after word.

And many more other things US former Presidents have done which i can't remember.

Red cards getting overturned when teams and club managements appeal is not news.

What is news and unacceptable is a nation's president getting involved in such matters... This is the issue.

Let's not muddle facts.
Re: White House Pressure On Infantino Led To Overturn Of Balogun Red Card by ViceGovernor: 12:24pm On Jul 06
King Charles should immediately call that bald headed Infant and have him remove England's red card.

What is good for the pu$$i is also good for the d££k.

Why wasn't Messi given a red card for a similar foul? You guys should stop selective justice

Oookk. But when Club presidents get involved is normal, isn't it? Mind you, Trump is the president of a host country, so he must have a vested interest like a club president. Mek una use brain small and forget sentiment. The hatred for America is making some people lose weight for nothing, while America doesn't care a hoot, whose Ox is gourd.

You guys still can't read the writing on the wall, USA team will receive a medal in this WC.

Before the tournament started POTUS told Pochettino that he would go all the way.
For him to say that it means he knows something we don't.
