@AndrewDBailey I don’t think it should have been a red.
Suspending the red is absolutely awful tho. Ruins the integrity of the game

Can anyone explain to me why Balogun‘s red card was taken away? Just curious.
English
@stoolpresidente Absolute insane take.
It’s dirty & it’s corrupt when the White House calls up to interfere with FIFA it’s clear what’s happening.
English
The difference between Belgium and the United States is that in the United States we always want to beat the best. The US Mens team wouldnt have even taken the field if Belgiums best player was unfairly suspended. Apparently Belgium wants the easy way out Very sad European behavior
Fabrizio Romano@FabrizioRomano
🚨⚠️ OFFICIAL: Belgian Federation statement on Folarin Balogun red card case, saying they are “astonished”. “The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) is astonished by FIFA's decision to declare suspended United States player Folarin Balogun eligible to play in the USA–Belgium match on Monday, 6 July at 5:00 p.m. (Seattle time). FIFA bases its decision on Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code. This provision states that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee may decide to suspend the enforcement of a previously imposed disciplinary sanction. However, Article 66.4 of the same FIFA Disciplinary Code clearly provides that a red card (sending-off) automatically results in a suspension for the team's next match, as has been the case for all previous red cards issued during this FIFA World Cup. Furthermore, and irrespective of the above, the decision is in direct contradiction with the provisions of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Competition Regulations, as set out in Article 10.5: "If a player or team official is sent off as a result of a direct or indirect red card (second caution), they will automatically be suspended from their team's subsequent match. In addition, further sanctions may be imposed.” The automatic nature of such a suspension was also explicitly reaffirmed in FIFA World Cup 2026 Circular No. 16, which was distributed to all participating member associations on 12 May 2026. The same rule is reiterated at every FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Coordination Meeting prior to each match and is included in all FIFA World Cup 2026 workshop presentations. ❗️In order to safeguard the legitimate rights of all participating teams and to protect the fundamental principles of fair play in our sport, both at this FIFA World Cup and at future editions of the tournament, the RBFA is investigating all potential options.”

@Raw_Milkman If you colour in between the lines & try to follow the law they’ll come down on ya like a tonne of bricks if you misstep
But refuse to play by society’s rules and they just can’t be arsed

Fuck off man, I've been fined for riding a bicycle down and empty street before and there are balaclava'd up bikers doing wheelies on a busy road in front of the police.
We're bringing ACAB back.
Fuck em, what's the point?
Anarcho-tyranny hell.

@GlesgaPatriot @alijanrizakhail That stat isn’t even remotely true and what were you doing about at that time?

Woman are raped in my city in lanes on a regular basis by men, these men are 99% of the time brown.
I’m not saying white men don’t rape too, I’m saying.. in my city, this is a problem.
Obviously you don’t know this, so I can appreciate why you have your views but please, reconsider. Because, this man was lurking around nearby the lanes at 2:45am when the clubs close. I believe he was waiting on someone vulnerable.
English
Sunday 5th July 2:45am roughly, I seen this guy just sitting around the walkabout, nearby some well known lanes.
I asked him ‘alright, what are you upto?’ He immediately walked away so I followed.
Into a shop where he is allegedly an employee, I smell BS on that one.

@escdestabxlxse Because for a while we were being told if you didn’t agree with every single stance the trans movement had you were a fascist.
Trans movement pushed so hard it damaged the entire LGBT’s reputation and now the pendulum’s 180’d

Sorry but how can a serving politician get away with saying this shit in 2026 and not immediately face an investigation or some kind of punishment. We’ve truly gone so far backwards in recent years in this country. It’s shameful.

This guy is an absolute problem. Straight up bully that nobody wants to touch bc he’s got problems (or playing an act)
Either way if it’s real he needs 24/7 support bc this man can’t be moving like this.

Drove to the doctors at 11am the other day and a lads behind me ballied up, crosser with no plates, mounts the kerb for a few hundred meters.
Fed car drives by and does fuck all. Softest country by far & it’s so jarring

@OnTheFenceDev @Aljeeves As a journalist of his caliber who engages on many political issues that dont Ben involve the UK one expects him to at least have heard of it

You had never heard of Cape Verde? Genuinely? In your *checks notes* 61 years on this planet, you have never heard of the nation of Cape Verde? Is this normal? Or is this not a remarkable showing of ignorance? I'm genuinely curious.
Piers Morgan@piersmorgan
I’d never heard of Cape Verde before this World Cup, now I will never forget them. Congrats to the whole squad, and especially the 40yr-old goalkeeper @vozinhapr whose heroics earned him 20m followers on Instagram. Fabulous story. 👏👏

@Business_Real_ @paxangloceltae This isn’t news in the sense that you mean it’s investigative journalism.
It’s not like the police found this out & the bbc are reporting it, this is a brilliant piece of investigative journalism that’s shining a light on this.
English
@paxangloceltae You're congratulating them on doing what they should actually be doing anyway, reporting the news. I know they normally fail to do it properly, but they are still being paid by the tax payer to do it.
English
A must watch. This just led the BBC News at Six. It’s got it all - people smuggling, illegal entry, asylum, migrant crime, vape shops/car washes/minimarts, and more. Credit to Sue Mitchell and colleagues for this excellent investigative journalism and public service broadcasting.
MB@paxangloceltae
I’ve said previously and I’ll say again, despite all the criticism the BBC gets (most of which is entirely valid), there are still some pockets of high-quality investigative journalism coming out of our national public service broadcaster - and Sue Mitchell is one of the best.

SCOOP! First clip of Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy in Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey just dropped?! I take everything back. Give this woman her Oscar right now.

A conversation is needed to be had about these so-called 'auditors'.
The vast majority of the time they are nothing but agitators & get in the way of people working in public - they also give no privacy to those being dealt with, an example below of when the officer is requiring personal details.
I hope to see some form of legislation in the future to combat the rise in these people who have nothing better to do & are there to interfere.
We already have offences of obstructing police in the execution of their duties, however, these offences are not set for 2026.
I would like to see an updated offence.
People like this person below filming the officer have absolutely no need to be involved here, he is an agitator.
