Suspended the penalty of the red card for a year, a weird work around, not an actual agreement to reverse the call for it being wrong that makes it seem even clearer that this is special treatment. Disgraceful corruption.

FIFA are a fucking joke.

They did the thing, they complained to the manager

I see the check cleared

Pretty funny that Trump had to put his thumb on the scale to help a player who represents everything trump hates: Balogun is black, the child of immigrants, & he was only born in the US because the airlines wouldn't let his 7-month pregnant mom board a plane back to England. He's technically American but has lived abroad and played for Euro teams his whole life.

No backroom deal was made here. Nothing to see, move right along.

Truly hope Belgium crushes us now.

Just because I don't want to see FIFA's obvious corruptability pay off for us.

If you watch closely, you can see where even the most rabid anti-Trump liberal stands on this because of their devotion is to US hegemony. Fucking anything to benefit America

Already seeing memes about a “trump card” or whatever bullshit
