I follow about 9 football podcasts, possibly more actually and all were saying it was shit for Balogun, and there should be an appeals process for certain red cards. Instead FIFA have just arbitrarily unbanned him, is he the only player this World Cup with a harsh red card? I said it when Ronaldo got completely arbitrarily unbanned for the start of this tournament. The governing body can’t just dick around with the rules, it’s ridiculous. People seem to be more energised by perceived conspiracies for whatever reason when there’s 100% proven instances of FIFA favouring certain players and nations Look you get suspended, that sucks. But those are the rules and FIFA are pissing over them. Roy Keane and Pavel Nedved dragged their respective sides to CL finals in 99 and 2003 respectively and had to miss the finals through suspension. UEFA didn’t make some arbitrary ruling so they could. As I’ve said, if there was an appeal mechanism in place, that’s fine by me. Good points, sorry I did not know the case too intimately. Anyway, I am not even slightly surprised. This is the FIFA who awarded Quatar the WC under dubious circumstances, where the top dogs get paid extraordinary salaries, and gave Trump a special peace prize... At least in this case, the actual outcome is not that bad, so they will easily get away with it. | ||

This looks like one of those terrible RM games where they get beaten but then do 3 counters and score 3 goals and turn the tie in their favour. | ||
