So… after the ridiculous peace prize trump is now even forcing FIFA to manipulate the game in their favour.

If Europe had any balls we would just go home and start a new organisation to replace the corrupt FIFA. We should have never even accepted to play in trumpistan

    I’d agree with you if not for everyone that actually has anything to do with the US soccer federation already saying that they did not plan to appeal unless his suspension was extended beyond the automatic one-game.

    That’s like saying you should be disqualified and sent home from a local golf tournament because your boss who has nothing to do with the tournament called the organizers and bribed them to change the score on a hole.

    What should have happened is Infantino should be immediately removed from his role, anyone else involved in the matter should also be removed, and Balogun’s ban should be reinstated. If anyone in the US federation was pushing for this, then the US should also be removed from the tournament under article 14(?)…but to my knowledge this came from outside the federation entirely.
