PSA to American soccer fans ⚽️ 🇺🇸
Don’t waste your time arguing with people insisting that was a deserved red card... You’re not debating the “Laws of the Game,” you’re debating someone farming reactions. Every reasonable fan knows that wasn’t a red. Scroll on and let them yell into the void. 😎

@JohnFricke no we re just learning american fans expect special treatment

Lotta Americans just learned hard way how corrupt FIFA is.

@CanHeadspace458 @ThatCroatianGuy nobody cares. football has different rules. you are new to the sport dont expect them to change for you

Referee perspective:
1. Point of contact: calf rake to ankle
2. Mode of contact: studs
3. Force: high
4. Where is the ball: other side of opponent
5. Position of the body: behind opponent

@SocialistCereal @Hezbolsonaro yall started watching 2 weeks ago. stop acting like experts
English
@Hezbolsonaro Like if you're going to call that a red, you better be consistent and give lots of other people reds for those types of fouls.
English
It’s a lot to ask Americans to get invested in a sport where a single referee can remove a star player for two games with no accuracy and no ability to review.
English
@burritobritoboy @OldTownJG brother it doesnt matter what you think it should be
English
If it wasn’t intentional then it should be a yellow. Red should be reserved for intentional acts. Balogun didn’t even challenge the Bosnian player cause he was looking at the ball the whole time. The Bosnian guy ran into him. FIFA standing behind this red while not carding Messi makes them not a serious officiating group.
English
Non soccer fans not understanding what is and isn't a card is always the most frustrating part of every World Cup cycle. It sucks for Balogun since it was clearly accidental, but it was definitely a red card.

So I’m not going to pretend to be a soccer expert. That red card seems asinine. That was not malicious or purposeful? 11 on 29 for 30 minutes plus he is out for the next game if you somehow hang on? That seems like a death sentence for speeding. Am I crazy? This is nuts.

American Football Lineman has more soccer sense than a WC Ref… tuh
Jason Kelce@JasonKelce
Man, somebody help me. That foul looked incidental from Balogun, shouldn’t a Red Card be given if there is either intention to foul, or an action that is aggressive and unsafe in nature? Didn’t feel like Balogun was out of control or anything, just looked like it kind of happened.
English
Exactly. May go down as the worst call of the @FIFAWorldCup

@breadmaker989 @ryanhammer09 thats how its always been. why do americans expect special treatment
English
@ryanhammer09 Is there genuinely any good reason fifa decides that you can’t appeal a red card? Anything I’ve seen in past tournament warrants that you can, is this a sudden switch or did they just come up with this. Genuinely don’t understand how a controversial call can not be appealed
English
“Our referees can make awful decisions & we will stand by them with no repercussion”
That center official should never step foot on another World Cup field again. So dumb
Adam Crafton@AdamCrafton_
FIFA sources confirm there is no mechanism to appeal a World Cup red card in their Disciplinary Code. Which seems quite surreal. But it means Balogun will not be able to play Belgium. Free to read @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/74152…

You know what
America SHOULD have the most violent version of football.
Our players should be a full head taller than Euros and should always be shoving them around and calling them out for belly-aching.
I would watch that.
Melian Refugee@escapefrommelos
maybe more americans would be interested in football/soccer if refs let players like Haaland play the game instead of rewarding floppers

@Jaboolie @cremieuxrecueil we are already vassals retard. americans are painfully unaware of their own empire. western europe has been under american control since ww2, eastern eu since the fall of ussr. your troops in europe are there to occupy not protect. not to mention gladio
English
@gha753 @cremieuxrecueil Yeah man we made you have weak borders and immigration laws.
You talk like minorities. Nothing is ever your fault and you have no agency. If that's the case we should just formally vassalize you.

The most subversive part about Citizen vigilante that I have seen nobody talk about is that the guy doing the revenge killings is an American expat living in Europe.
The framing is that Europe must be saved by based Right wing America because Europeans are all cucks.
English
@Jaboolie @cremieuxrecueil the muslims are in europe because you americans killed gaddafi overthrew assad invaded iraq and afghanistan and bombed yemen and somalia. europeans are stuck cleaning up the mess you made.
not to mention the liberal woke bs was forced on us by your elites. you are the source
English
@gha753 @cremieuxrecueil I wish Europe would come to its senses and kick all the muslims out and save itself. They won't, but I wish the best for them even if they don't for themselves.

Yeah, that’s generally how things go. Has there ever been a global superpower at any point in the history of civilization which wasn’t resented by those who felt inferior to it?

@Jaboolie @cremieuxrecueil the supposed right wing white nationalist magas hate europe with a passion. another reminder that you are the land of shabbos goys
