Hach what a dream! But they’re cowards, nobody wants to make a official statement against this bullshit.

My thoughts exactly

💯

Surely you’d get Starmer to write the letter?

It takes a cheat to know a cheat. Just ask the Cheater in Chief 🍊 England don’t need to join in the corruption to win 🏆

This is EXACTLY what should be done. Put FIFA's already trash credibility to the test. Same exact situation.

I hope the crowd chant "fuck Trump" at today's games

Except merely writing wouldn’t be enough. They’d need to send zillions in crypto-currency like Trump has.

Is Infantio in the Epstein files? Could this be why Trump has leverage over him? Can America win the World Cup fairly, will ICE invade the pitch and incarcerate players from the opposing team because they look like illegal aliens?. And what about that FIFA peace prize just for Trump?

Maybe King Charles should make the request, as head of state.

Exactly , cancel all red cards

Of course the morning news programs just barely glossed over the “interference” from the sex predator because “look how excited people are for the US team!”

Agreed. Studs into players leg… (although the defender leg bounced off top of ball first which caused the studs up),,, but exactly the same outcome studs on opponents leg. No difference in the offence. He should get the card suspended!

Disgracefyl that the corrupt FIFA succumbs to pressure from the corrupt Trump to allow a suspended American player to play against Belgium. Go Belgium!

Both of those red cards were very similar situation calls (if I remember correctly) - as they were hitting the ground, the legs did some bad things but I am not sure purposefully. I need video review But soft red fer sure - if there were such a thing!

<enthusiastic applause>

FIFA is losing (more) legitimacy if Quansah is not afforded the same grace or Balo sits out vs BEL. In retort, I expect Smelly Diaper Caligula to declare Belgium to be the 52nd US state and send JD Vance to tell them to pull his finger or he'll tariff frites or nuke the Mannekin Pis.

Trump has tainted this World Cup. Everything he touches 🤬

You haven’t seen Poch’s statement, have you? 🥴

Ask the King to do it….

Gotta pay the bribe.

That _is_ the rule.

Do you understand that by failing to add alt text you’re excluding visually impaired people who use screen readers?

Agree but disagree I echo your sentiment … However, a red card is a red card. As an 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 fan, Quansah was a red card … as was the American player. What’s the point in rules if bribery & corruption dictate (like a fascist dictatorship & belittle the sport)💁🏻‍♂️🤷🏻

just publish the reply...

TRUMP IS A F@CKING PEDIOPHILE

Not just Americans. Article 27 was also used to suspend Ronaldo's match ban to start of the WC. And that was more egregious, given the intentional nature of his elbow to O'Shea's back, vs Balogun's incidental step on Muharemovic’s ankle (a play that didn't get Messi a red in an earlier game, btw).

Clout chasing politician. Not a good look. We do NOT want politicians or royalty involved in this. Starmer nailed that argument this morning.

My first thought when England got the red card and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

FIFA won’t respond to a letter. They’ll respond to a cheque though…

I'm hoping for a 4-0 win for you guys. Two for de Bruyne and one each for Doku and Trossard, with Courtois saving a couple of penalties that shouldn't have been given 😀

Stop whining. The original call was objectively terrible and there shouldn't have been a red card to begin with.

How would we stop him trying to rape the preteen fans of 3K though?

"The decision of the referee shall not be questioned"* *unless FIFA changes this rule to appease a Tyrant.

Well i think the king has to make a call first

🤞🤞

You’re old, like me 😆

Nope. We do NOT want politicians or royalty involved in this.

Get King Charles to do it.

The FA hasn't got the stones.... Plus they know all about corruption. 🤦‍♂️😂 Just look at those with special treatment I. The prem 😂😂

I am beginning to think it is fixed. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/07/the-...

What's good for the goose should be good for the gander!

Exactly

No they should call. And record the call. Trump isn’t writing any letter.

JUST DO IT …

Finally Farage can do something for us!

Good shout. Infantino and Farage are birds of a feather.

The fans should - thousands of them, proper letters sent to FIFA.

Brings into question whether the whole tournament should be replayed without the red card suspension rule. Infantino is going to regret this decision.

. They are destroying the World Cup and football itself. 🖕 FIFA and 🖕 Trump too ! .

Don’t think the FA have the balls but they should!

They would have to negotiate the payment.

Shoot, the ref who gave Balogun that widely-panned red in the first place, was previously investigated in Brazil for a match-fixing scandal and improper use of cards. I hate Trump as much as the next guy, but if this is the greatest FIFA scandal to anybody, they haven't been paying attention.

Are you kidding? That would require balls.

That was a legit red card so no , I think France have now appealed theirs tho, America needs to understand that bad decisions are part of football and always have been.

Two wrongs and all that....Team USA should do the honourable thing, and not name the player in their squad for the next game. Someone needs to make a stance, for the good of the game.

💯 💥💥💥⚽️⚽️⚽️

Well said 👍

Funny how the simple concept of endangering a player doesn’t register. Let’s ask OP, was the Qatar player breaking a Canadian player’s leg a red? It was not intentional. People say wrong use of, VAR. this is exactly what VAR is for. Clear and obvious mistakes

Thank you for your expert opinion.

You clearly don’t know FIFA’s rules for this WC. Unsurprisingly.

Low standard for cunning in England

Those rules are for FIFA peace prize winners only.

Qualifiers are considered part of the World Cup tournament for the purpose of these rules. Ronaldo's suspension should have applied.

If all teams apart from the USA were cunning they’d refuse to play until the issue is cleared up.

I presume that it might require a "donation" to FIFA?

This is yet another gosh darn embarrassment upon the US. WE openly CHEAT at games. We’ve always had some unfair advantages but to blatantly cheat out in the open.

The precedent is set. The law is all about precedent.

GIANNI is a knob gobbler.

The World Cup has now become a farce. The sooner that the US team is eliminated the better.

If the Belgians were to beat the U.S. in soccer, I guarantee you that FIFA would offer the U.S. a do-over. Who watches this crooked shit???

If the rules are consistent, FIFA should have no problem answering publicly. If they're not, that's a different conversation.

Sooo can we get King Charlie to ring Infantino and suspend our players red card?

Sincere albeit sceptical question: What, specifically, would the FA gain by such an approach apart from social media cloud?

Yep

All the countries left in the WC should be getting together to insist parity for all red cards. This is just corruption in plain sight

Noah Law MP has written a very cleverly worded official letter to that effect - it’s doing the rounds here.

Might be a good thing to have him banned

Trump proving yet again he can’t win anything without cheating. Every News station around the world should be saying it to embarrass Infantino and Trump. It would also put a question mark over the US team if they cheat their way past Belgium.

Infantino will say he preemptively gave them the "get out of jail free" card when Konsa didn't get sent off in the Group stages

The American shouldn’t play……for the integrity of the game……what little is left. 🖕🏻🍊🤡👹🐍💩

Seriously, they ought to do just that quoting the bit of the Regs. used to justify the US bloke’s non-suspension (or rather the one year suspension of his suspension!)

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Alright I get the point you’re trying to make but one could’ve easily been a yellow, and the other was the second-worst tackle of the entire tournament so far. Quansah will be lucky if he’s only suspended for one and you damn well know it. (Yes, Balogun should be suspended. I get why you’re mad.)

We already know the answer.

Every team who got a red card in this competition should ask their government and FIFA why their player was suspended for a match.

If dude was smart he’d sit out this one game… don’t have his legacy tied to The Great Divider bc that’s the only thing the world will remember from tonight on

That FIFA head will never live that down

The same way the current administration ignore laws, Supreme Court rulings, and calls from Congress.

Nope, politicians should be nowhere near it.

Belgium is going to be have the support of numbers beyond its wildest dreams tonight!

Not that it makes his special treatment right, but he did at least serve a one game ban. The Regulations for the FIFA World Cup 26 were published in May. They're clear that a red card results in a one game ban, and referee's decisions are not subject to appeal. digitalhub.fifa.com/m/636f5c9c6f...

Starmer tried calling Infantonio but he is not taking his calls today for anything less than $100k in crypto.

Is Infantino in the Epstein files? What other reason could there be?

Nope, we don’t want politicians or heads of state involved. That’s a lie, take it down.

The French have already sent in their appeal for Olise's yellow. We should for Rice, Kane & Henderson.

Even better, than the FA. The King 🤴
