@realDailyWire @michaeljknowles What a kooky statement. Do know that there’s probably a large portion of your audience who likes soccer? You live in your own little bubble.

.@michaeljknowles is NOT happy that Americans are into the World Cup: "I am so blackpilled that Americans are taking soccer seriously...I hate this freaking sport. It sucks. It's third-world. It's gay, and I don't like it." 😂

There’s no chance of appeal to get the USMNT’s suspended star Folarin Balogun back on the pitch versus Belgium. Or…is there? Calling on America’s real all-stars: the lawyers. Read more from columnist @jasongay: ⚽️ on.wsj.com/3SDSaAd

On the basis of the images made available to referee Raphael Claus, the decision to send off USA forward Folarin Balogun is understandable. From the vantage point presented, via slow motion and still images, the threshold of serious foul play is met. This challenge did appear to endanger the safety of an opponent. Those ensconced in FIFA’s refereeing hub may see that as an open and shut case. Yet to most observers and many of those who have played the game, at any level at all, this was a miscarriage of justice. To show the challenge to the referee at a different speed to the incident he originally adjudicated upon is to warp and distort the judgment, removing context from the call. Slowed down, an accidental collision can resemble a premeditated challenge. A bad challenge can become a horror challenge. In the case of Balogun, the freeze frame and slow-motion images eliminated the essential context. This was a simple ball played forward by Antonee Robinson, where two players jostled for position, and as Bosnia and Herzegovina defender Tarik Muharemovic got in front of Balogun, the forward, off balance, landed in an unfortunate — but clearly unintentional manner — on the ankle of his opponent. In football’s history, it has sometimes required major incidents at big international tournaments to accelerate change. FIFA must use Balogun’s injustice as a line in the sand, ending once and for all the unfair and disfiguring use of slow-motion and freeze frames. 📝 @AdamCrafton_ bit.ly/3SFzYGl

FIFA doesn’t want the USA to win. Free Balogun.

"Initially the play didn't even draw a yellow card. So you go from no yellow card to a SUSPENSION?! That is a mile leap that feels inappropriate." @colincowherd weighs in on Folarin Balogun's controversial red card in the USA's win over Bosnia and Herzegovina

@CasiTrades I got scared and bought some at $1.06, but I’m ready at $1.00 & below. DCA all the way.

🚨 I Still Think XRP Needs One Final Low! 🚨 ripple:native is finally getting some momentum off the $1 area, but in my opinion, it still isn't enough to invalidate the $0.87 support. 📉The macro timeframes have printed the bullish divergence you'd expect near a major market pivot and I'm becoming increasingly excited about what comes next - But what's missing is the smaller timeframes... Right now, I still think they need one final wave down so that bullish divergences can align across multiple timeframes. $0.87 is the most likely level for the final low. We're getting very close. This weekend could be one of the most important periods of the entire correction. A final move into support would likely come with high volatility, but it could also set the stage for a very powerful reaction. 😍 In the short term, we're testing $1.09 as support. Personally, I still think that level breaks before this correction is finished. The good news is whether the final low is at $1.00, $0.93, or $0.87, the bigger story is that the market is preparing for a major pivot towards new ATHs!! #CryptoMarket #xrpnewstoday

No Card Red Card

@iHeartRadio #freeBalogun

Balogun's red card was way too harsh. Chasing a loose ball, accidental cleat, no malicious intent, and now he misses the Belgium game? That's a massive blow to Team USA for a call that simply wasn't legitimate. Thoughts? ⁣ ⁣ Listen to all 104 FIFA World Cup 2026™ Matches Live on iHeart: iheart.onelink.me/Ff5B/WC_FB

@UTD_Seth001 Being a footbol coach in city leagues you learn to live and suck it up with inconsistencies, but in a World Cup @FIFAWorldCup ?

🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović on the inconsistency of VAR after Folarin Balogun’s red card compared to the earlier Lionel Messi challenge against Algeria: 🗣️ “Now we see the inconsistency. One player is protected, another is exposed. That is the biggest problem in football today.” “If Balogun’s challenge is a straight red card, then people have every right to ask why similar incidents are judged differently. The rules should not change depending on the name on the back of the shirt.” “This decision exposes the rigidity of VAR, but also its inconsistency. VAR was introduced to remove controversy, yet too often it creates even bigger arguments.” “Football cannot have two standards—one for the biggest stars and another for everyone else. Either the law is the law, or it means nothing.” “The fans don’t ask for perfection. They ask for consistency. They want to know that every player, whether it’s Messi, Balogun or anyone else, is judged by exactly the same standard.” “When supporters start questioning whether reputation influences decisions, that’s dangerous for the credibility of the game. Trust in officiating disappears.” “VAR should make football fairer, not make people wonder why identical situations end with completely different outcomes. That’s the conversation everyone will be having after this.”

Dear @FIFAWorldCup, I am no soccer expert, but I made a few observations: - 🇺🇸 has ❤️ - Getting 2 goals taken away is tough but I understand offsides - Receiving a red card for an accidental bump is insane especially when no penalty was called on field Let Balogun play!!! 🇺🇸

@UTD_Seth001 #FreeBalogun

@CSG_FSU @BarstoolBigCat Please put the Messi foul with no red card in context please. #FreeBalogun

As accidental and as bad it sucks, yes it was a red. Context does not matter in situations like that, you can only judge it by the action that took place. He was “cleats up” and it’s considered a “foul play”. Just the letter of the law, definitely a lot of inconsistencies with how it’s been called this WC for sure, but it is sadly.

Was that even a borderline red? Someone unbiased give me some real talk. It was bullshit right?
