Red card was complete BS but happy to be moving on! Not having Balogun against Belgium is going to really hurt
Gutsiest Team USA performance I’ve ever viewed. Unreal.
USA!
USA!
I believe the rules committee will review it and make a decision.
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.
Agree.That was off Bosnia's foot and they get a corner. Some corrupt *** officiating going on in this one.
I thought about that. I know they do it in a number of (all?) pro leagues, but don't know if WC does it.
Nothing I’m finding online suggests that FIFA can overturn the red. Hope I’m wrong. If not, show us what you got, Poch.
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.

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.

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

Not very good going to be hard to replace Balogun.
Japan fans cleaning up the Stadium in the greatest country in the world.
Ya second half was incredible I hate the fringe offsides might as well have VAR for nfl and nba
I’ve watched two YouTube tutorials on what is offside in soccer and still don’t have the first clue..
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.

Bsically have to have a defender between you and the goal when the ball is played. For Croatia the guy was onside when the free kick was taken, but when his teammate headed it he had moved into an offside position. Pretty cool they have chips in the ball that tells them if somebody touched it. That would cut all the review time in football and basketball if they used it.
Unlikely, but, Cape Verde, Lets go!!! Slay the giant and his minions, tonight.
Someone should teach the Australians to how to take a penalty kick. Its one thing when the Keeper makes a save. It is another when you completely miss the goal.
That's part of the psychology of it. Given how it's set-up, you should score. It's a whole lot of space to cover for just one guy. If you hit to a top corner accurately, the goalie has no chance of stopping it. It's basically impossible. But because of that, guys are tempted to try to be perfect, and in the process, lessen their margin for error. And suddenly you see shots getting sprayed over and around the goal.
