President Trump called FIFA President Gianni Infantino to discuss the red card given to Team USA’s Folarin Balogun during Wednesday night’s game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, an person familiar with the conversation told The Hill. Trump later cheered the reversal, calling it an “injustice.”
FIFA said its independent panel overturned the red card suspension for Monday’s game.
It’s unbelievable how much stupider the US seems now VS ten years ago, and it already seemed kinda stupid, but it also seemed very capable. The only country that’s fallen harder is Putin’s dry gas station.
He will call Infantino about those four unfair goals against the American team, too.
Yet again, everything he touches turns to absolute dogshit.
how the fuck did this piece of shit become a billionaire when everything turns to fucking shit? Boggles the mind.
Well to be honest, because we made laws to make it so. If he had been born a plank of wood, and never spoke, walked, or did anything. He would be a billionaire today. We made bankruptcy laws to make sure the rich couldn’t become poor by accident. Set bankruptcy at 10% of ones net worth, and every billionaire would fight it. Say you can sell a company was worth 1.4 billion, you can declare bankruptcy and it will cost pennies comparatively. The people who lose their houses are struggling, the companies don’t lose anything but a oops.
Because half of Trump voters still think his family did not gain wealth from his presidencies.
When your voting base is this ignorant, corruption and deregulation festers, feeding into the ignorance/corruption cycle ad nauseum.
Corruption is spelled FIFA.
So once again the world proves yet again whatever Trump touches turns to shit as the US loses 4 to fucking 1.
He’s gonna ask for a recount and accuse math of being communism
I wouldn’t be surprised for a second if he announced %100 tariffs for Belgian beer and chocolate now.
So annoying. Government should not give a fuck about games.
Worse, the people who should care, the sports fans, just keep throwing their money at fifa.
We are all fucked. Corporate sports and government grift, and people cant stop watching and/or don’t care.
and, as expected, trumps meddling cost them
Well fuck. I was pulling for USA but with this special treatment I’m not sure I can anymore.
He probably doesn’t even watch the soccer. We should really start handing out “Playing Victim” cards to trump every time he whines
He admitted that he didn’t know exactly what a red card meant. Even worse, he thought it was unfair that you could be penalized for a game that hadn’t happened yet.
lol… We don’t even watch much soccer in Australia, and even the biggest dumbass knows what a red card is
I was at the Club World Cup Final outside NYC last year. Don’t Cheeto was there making a scene with Mr FIFA. I’m pretty sure that was the first soccer game he had ever been to. I’m guessing he didn’t attend any of his kids’ games before molesting them.
As if the peace prize wasn’t bad enough, they now need to bring their corruption to the game itself.
If this doesn’t alienate all member organisations, I don’t know what will. They should pull the plug and start a new international federation with better accountability.
Reminder of the sponsors of this tournament:
Edit: Budweiser and Hisense are also sponsorsi mean qatar, Saudia arabia is a given, since thier Oil reserves will dry up in a couple decades, they are trying to stave off the collapse of thier sole source of revenue for the country.
Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s state owned oil company. One of the big reasons why Iraq and Iran were attacked.
Is there a company here that isn’t BDS lol?
What’s between McDonald’s and Unilever?

I have get rid of my Lenovo laptop
Don’t throw it away. Give it away for free to someone who was going to buy one.
valvoline…that god for that lube.
the red card was def harsh don’t get me wrong. balogun clearly didn’t mean to do that, but it’s understandable to preserve a level of safety in the game. you have FIFA saying at first that the FA will not rescind the red card given to balogun, then suddenly the president himself calls infantino and now the red card is suspended? come on. had this happened to belgium there would be uproar from so many americans. it is 1)insanely corrupt and 2) sets a very bad precedent cause now any country can just ask to get their bookings for players reversed. this is getting long but anyways please pirate all your world cup games!!
Edit: LOOOOOLLL GET FUCKED AMERIKKKA daddy trump literally cheated for them and they still lost what a bunch of clowns
This is hardly a new precedent. This is just fifa being fifa.
please pirate all your world cup games!!
Way ahead of you there.
I learned that IPTV in some countries is very popular for live feeds when my shitty over the air antenna was having issues and I didn’t want to bother subscribing to some crappy app trial for a game or two. Now I know that PBS even broadcasts some of their channels as IPTV over the internet and the TV signal just points it at the stream’s URL. Also, ATSC 3.0 is a fiasco for over the air TV, I think that will be the end of broadcast TV. It was fun while it lasted for live events.
THAT’S CORRUPTION!
Really funny seeing people sob over the integrity of the sport as if FIFA isn’t actively buying votes to line their pockets and hosting tournaments to sports-wash theocratic slave states (USA included).
The card system never made sense for international knockout play anyway because one ref with a grudge can, more or less, unilaterally eject a team from the tournament. Almost nobody has the depth to deal with a red card.
