I love this "integrity" thing people keep pushing.
Especially with the World Cup, hasn't there been tons of controversy with the WC in the past???

Not really surprised by the response. A red card is hardly ever recended . Whether it was not warranted in the first place ( it wasn’t) can’t come into play here. The USA would be making the same response if the roles were reversed.
The red card wasn’t rescinded. The one game disqualification was suspended for a year. They did the same for Ronaldo too so it doesn’t seem like special treatment
That is nuts!
My buddy got like 14 tickets for the pool play. And was selling them for a great profit.
DP, you realise far more than half our country does not like him, me included.
I have no idea what that fool extolls.
You, on the otherhand were getting it hard from your "not gay" buddy all while the kid next door is showing your daughter how real men deal with bees
Mexico England was so terribly officiated. Soccer needs to learn from the other sports how to use replay, because right now it does it wrong
England dominated Mexico, but was kept interesting (viewers, host nation also), with very questionable calls.

I think there is a little charm in some of the abstract, subjective rulings. Kind of like PI and holding in football. Sport is about entertainment, drama, and tension. And nothing builds tension more than having goals taken away or not really knowing when the match is going to end. According to the stats, Mexico dominated the game...held onto the ball for 75% of the game and pressured the goal much more often. This was a major missed opportunity for Mexico. They have a solid team and get to play at home in an impossible environment.
Lol, it's not even close to half, and many who dont, still like his effectiveness.DP, you realise far more than half our country does not like him, me included.

Do you even remember where we were? It was a tipping point for the nation, to the place of no return.
I say it...then EVERYONE starts saying.
It is the most manipulated sport in the world. Might as well be playing basketball in the driveway with your friends...
"The crack over there is out of bounds, you heard me say that, you were OUT OF BOUNDS! No, not that crack, the bigger crack, next to the thorn bush!!!"
With all the flopping and crying to officials that go on in soccer, I'm surprised Purdue is not a perennial NCAA powerhouse.
Insane match last night! Everyone knew there would be drama and there was. Well officiated and it appears the fans were better behaved than expected (or at least from what the camera showed.)
Now on to the USMNT game today!

"Na Timmy! You're toe was on the line! But since we don't have video replay and this is my driveway, its a 2 point shot. Don't like it? Cry to mommy."
Having one of the most corrupt administration's reach out to influence THE most corrupt sports governing body to pull strings in favor of the US whose population for the most point mocks this sport to begin with is quite the conundrum. I love it!
Belgium did file an appeal (which is weird since the US couldn’t file one) so it’s apparently not a 100% done deal at this point. The FIFA does have precedent for suspending the game ban with other players. Ttump’s involvement is pretty unprecedented though so it’s possible to backfire.
Hahaha!
"Look, moron...that part of the driveway is only out of bounds if your ankle/foot touch the grass! My foot didn't touch the grass, it just touched that ant hill!!!"
This episode and the following actions are going to be instrumental as a catalyst of due process within the FIFA bylaws and regulations.
FIFA has no appeal process for a red card after the match.
This isn't the first time FIFA has suspended a red card disqualification in following matches.
Just recently superstar Christiano Renaldo received a red card in a qualifying match for WC 26 and would have had to sit out/DQ the first 2 matches of 2026 WC.
For some reason the RBFA didnt feel the need to defend the integrity (LOL) of the beautiful game when this occurred.
DUE PROCESS---isn't that what we hear as being paramount for the delivery of justice?

...looks like FIFA told Belgium to pound sand. Haha
Suck it to everyone who has a problem with any of this

Your a bigger Soccer fan then Me . So basically FIFA doesn’t have an appeal process to get a red card recended but they can suspend a red card at their choosing anytime?
I think the NBA is worse because there are fewer players and generally one superstar on the court. This means foul trouble can determine the outcome of any game. Cards are reviewable in soccer, whereas fouls are not going to be reviewed in the early portions of an NBA game. There is a reason there is so much gambling drama surrounding the NBA vs. other sports. It is just so much more "manipulat-able". Soccer has "subjective" rules but they are generally fairly innocuous, most of the time. And with VAR and technology the off-sides and ball crossing line problems aren't going to be as much of an issue.
Watching the normal shitbags not be able to control their emotions to the point where they cheer against their own country… all because of the mere thought of sports success (while someone they don’t like is in office), is definitely something. I can’t even get in that mindset. You’d have to be such a ******* loser in your own “life” to get triggered about something like this. It’s completely predictable, and another indication of all the broken retards in this country. I’d gladly trade the fans of these other countries that are here following their teams, and send these lazy, fat, angry *****’s over in exchange.
