FIFA's moment of shame as Infantino bends the knee to Trump and in turns destroys the integrity of the World Cup and the notion of fair play at this tournament.
As it goes I don't think the tackle deserved a red card, but after Trump’s interference I would like to see the US team show some integrity by not fielding Balogun, despite FIFA’s complicit overturning of the referrees decision.
The US team winning the next round whilst snubbing Trump through such a show of integrity would be amazing.
The right thing to do by Pochettino would be to sit Balogun (and I do believe the red card was unfair). As an Amdrican, I am sickened by this "decision" by FIFA. Perhaps all those World Cup fans who gushed about how they owed America an apology will now reconsider.
Seriously? In a ‘who's the most corrupt?competition, Trump or FIFA, how would you decide? Is it the dodgy bugger holding the Golden Prize of Peace or the dodgy bugger who gave it to him? Quits, I think.
If the US team had any integrity and love for the sport of football they would stand him down from the next game. If they win with him playing the victory will be tainted with corruption.
Yes Yes they have. Now, no more soccer for me. It's totally rigged.
Everything Trump touches dies.
It was corrupted already. It just took another dark step.
This is a new low. What’s next? Threatening with new tariffs/sanctions if my team doesn’t win? ICE on referees?

Belgium should refuse to play. Leave the fans sitting in the stands, leave the TV coverage void, screw the advertisers

You mean further corrupted. It was already evidently corrupt.
It is a total disgrace

We can only trust that Balogun refuses to play and the US team fully support this.
If they don’t then…. It’s all over now baby blue
If I weren’t boycotting the World Cup (because of the Shitler regime’s racist policy, among other things), I’d be watching, rooting for Belgium.
Go Belgium!
Anything trump touches turns to shit. He is a cancer to humanity
The beautiful game was corrupted from long time ago…

I just posted this same sentiment before seeing your comment. Totally, agree.
