Well their coach had the option to not use the player in question. So it's partly on them as well.

[–] gergolippai@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

i think the coach was put in a similarly impossible situation...

I imagine that would have been a tough situation. It was a clearly bad call overturned by the review panel. If you remove Trump from the equation, it may have happened anyway.

Note: Not debating how rediculous this is, and happy there can't be future tainting of games from it.

Edit: I pull this back. Had not realized this had never happened before.

It was the first time in 96 years that a world cup red card punishment had been overturned. This was american cheat karen energy.

[–] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Had not realized that. Edited.

It was not a bad call, and it was not overturned.

The cheating USA player committed a foul and still has the red card for that. The cheating USA player still has the red card, but in an unprecedented move the suspension is deferred. Because the USA cannot compete at an international tournament without resorting to cheating.

This would not have happened without the United States being an openly corrupt nation, and this will taint every game that the United States team ever plays in the future.

Most people seemed to agree it should have been a yellow card because he wasn’t capable of seeing what he was doing. Careless vs malicious.

But these reviews do happen in the premier and euro leagues. Just FIFA hasn’t done it before. And we all know fifa is a shit show anyway, now we just have more Trump induced proof of it.
