I hope they can get this W and keep rolling.

Dizzam, she looks better than most of the celebs I’ve seen.

She's AI, buddy.

Red card was complete BS but happy to be moving on! Not having Balogun against Belgium is going to really hurt

 

[Starrcade]

She's AI, buddy.

You don't like women, anyway, buddy.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Gutsiest Team USA performance I’ve ever viewed. Unreal.


USA!

There is no way to appeal the one game suspension?

I believe the rules committee will review it and make a decision.

 

[entropy13]

If they don't overturn the red card after the game, the hatred for America couldn't be any more obvious

I don't even think that's an option, TBH.

ICE should seize that ref and then send him to a CIA black site.

Where is that ref from? If I'm running this country, I personally call the rules committee to appeal that BS.

 

[Hunting9]

We can only hope.

That was off Bosnia's foot and they get a corner. Some corrupt *** officiating going on in this one.

Agree.

 

[vhcat1970]

Pardon my ignorance, dude that just got the red car is out for this game and next game? Is that what I just heard? If so that’s some BS. Just one more reason to not like soccer and I am really trying to give it a chance.

Think of it like CFB targeting suspension.

I thought about that. I know they do it in a number of (all?) pro leagues, but don't know if WC does it.

 

[vhcat1970]

She's AI, buddy.

Is she inflatable?

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

Nothing I’m finding online suggests that FIFA can overturn the red. Hope I’m wrong. If not, show us what you got, Poch.

[Artlaibesghost]

The red card was BS. The one that SHOULD have been called when the Bosnian guy cheap shot our goalie with the ball not in play. The ref seemed biased to me, and it DOES happen in international games

No

You are correct. there is no mechanism to appeal a World Cup red card,

 

[Starrcade]

Even the guys back in the studio on TV thought they could. What a joke and CLEARLY an intentional roadblock. That ref knew exactly what he was doing.

 

[vhcat1970]

With Flo loss, USA barely a fav over Belgium.

USA down to 28-1 to win it all. Part is just we are still standing. France down to better than 2-1, like 15-8 if that makes sense. I think that's right though.

 

[Catman100]

Flo is out of the game on a red card, Why should he sit the next game? Another stupid rule if you ask me. Especially when it was not intentional.
Red card suspensions would make more sense to me if they were suspended until the time of the red card. He got red carded in the 60th minute, ok, he can come back in the next game at the 60th minute.
We can make major changes in baseball, it is time for soccer to change as well.

 

[legalbeagle123]

That ref should be arrested and imprisoned, imo.

 

[Starrcade]

How good is Ricardo Pepi?

Next man up.

 

[Ash Williams]

The goal keeper for DRC takes out England's striker and it's a freaking GOAL KICK???

Man these refs...

 

[travisbickle]

Who is that butt-munch referee? South American cousin to Doug Shows?

Juan Higginado.

Not very good going to be hard to replace Balogun.

 

[vhcat1970]

Might prefer Wright or Zendejas. But no Weah.

 

[Catman100]

I say go with Wright. He has speed.

 

[HenryMuto]

Going to be hard to beat #9 ranked Belgium without your best offense player.

What an effort to overcome that idiotic BS red card for something he just accidently did.

 

[Starrcade]

Japan fans cleaning up the Stadium in the greatest country in the world.

 

[Starrcade]

What a game betwixed POR and CRO. Wow.

 

[Laparkafan]

Ya second half was incredible I hate the fringe offsides might as well have VAR for nfl and nba

 

[Catlogic1552]

I’ve watched two YouTube tutorials on what is offside in soccer and still don’t have the first clue..

 

[Catman100]

I was going to come on here this morning and discuss how a superstar like Ronaldo gets a great call at the end of a game so he can move on, but a little USA player gets a red card and now has to sit out.
Then I found out about Snicko technology that I had never heard of. It proved Matanovic touched the ball with his head and made the tying goal offsides. Once again, it sucks, but technology gave the right call for the game.
