Cue the corruption talk

 

[RockyMtNole]

Man, not sure how I feel about this.
Never liked the red card in that situation, but this feels…slimy.

Belgium bigly mad

If they would’ve just said immediately after the game that VAR protocol ****** up and was used improperly there would be much less outrage. But this reeks of trump ******** and is a massive **** stain on the US and the tournament. Viva la Mexico I guess.

Exactly. The decision should have come quicker, been explained that the VAR protocol was broken, and this decision would have had very little controversy. It was the issue every rules commentator had with it. Instead, it looks tainted.

 

[QChawks]

Feels like both Norway and Brazil played that first have safe

Cue the corruption talk

What was corrupt was the red card in the first place. They should have overruled it and reinstated Balogun the same day he was ejected.

Procedurally, the ref is not allowed to review fouls in slo-motion which is exactly how Balogun was issued a RC. Even in slo-mo, it didn't merit a RC as it was accidental. There is nothing slimy about it. The refs screwed up and FIFA has corrected their screw up.

All that is true…but they screwed up and there was no walking it back once red card was issued. There was no appeal process. That is what is “slimy”. They just are now ignoring the rules completely to make this exception

And if the situation was reversed we’d be angry.

Ugh

Haaland

 

[RockyMtNole]

Ugh

Haaland

I love the underdogs in the WC

 

[SeaPA]

Ugh

Haaland

Again.

 

[noleclone2]

Again.

That shot was insane.

 

[EdgarAllenPodolak]

Ugh

Haaland

Again.

That shot was insane.

After his love affair with their city, FC Dallas should aggressively push to sign him. They’d fill up the Cowboys stadium on his debut, and their stadium in Frisco all year. Not to mention jersey sales.

Brazil showing their asses end of game

 

[WDDT]

El tri 3 Harry Kane 2.

 

[Bro D]

Hell yea Balogun! USA USA USA!!

 

[Pharcyded]

I guess but any objective person would say that Balogun didn't deserve a RC. The US had to already play 30 minutes down a man and that's more punishment than they deserved. I'm a US fan so I'm elated Balogun can play tomorrow and I don't really give a **** what Belgium or anyone else thinks. The US has been hosed so many times over the years at WCs, it's nice to see them not get screwed for a change and a horrible and procedurally wrong decision get reversed.

I don’t know who to pull for/root against next match…England or Mexico

Go England. If you're an American rooting for Mexico you're probably a communist

 

[Hydro2.0]

I just can’t root for those dirty cheaters Mexico. Just can’t.

F.uck mexico and their awful fans. I hope Harry Kane just rubs is balls all over them tonight

 

[Yellowsnow51]

I just place three small futures.
2 Final Matchup bets
Switzerland vs France (+3000)
Switzerland vs Spain

To make Final 4
Switzerland (+550)

Go Swiss!

 

[Aardvark86]

Total hijack but I had the dumbest round of golf ever recorded. It's like I just forgot how to play.

-1 through 4, missed some shots but still stuck the ball well so I went to +3 for a 39 at the turn but not mad (I'm a 12 HC). I go on to shoot a 50 on the back nine hitting all but one fairway out of the box. 3 penalties, three 3 putts, three holes with two chips around the hole.

I once shot 50-35 in a high school match. I was infallible on the back nine, and My opponent was PISSED.

In a stunning announcement, FIFA says Brendan Sorsby is allowed to play in Monday night’s game.

 

[WDDT]

If true trump called fifa I fuck1ng hate that.

Is it just me or does Landon Donovan have this exact personality the majority of the time:
