FIFA World Cup 2026 - USA/Canada/Mexico (Part 3)

Folarin Balogun available for USMNT vs. Belgium as red card ban suspended

Unbelievable

Absolute genius! :joy:

Well then…

That’s more than a bit whiffy.

What a brilliant ad from Paddy Power. Hopefully that sort of spirit might inform the Norway/Sweden rivalry. If Norway go further and the Swedes don’t want to show their support, wear it as a little badge of honor, because you are better than them.

Are you a Swede?

Nonsense. All completely above board…

US President Donald Trump thanked Fifa for ā€œreversing a great injusticeā€ in a post on Truth Social.

Trump, a friend of Fifa president Gianni Infantino, wrote: ā€œThank you to Fifa for doing what was right, and reversing a great injustice! President DONALD J. TRUMP.ā€

Should be the nail in the coffin for Infantino. Every other nation should be up in arms about this and Belgium should rightly be outraged.

Is there any kind of precedent for this at all? VAR and ref came to the same conclusion, rightly or wrongly. Now FIFA haven’t actually rescinded the red card meaning they are in agreement but have changed the rules around suspension.

It’s an absolute joke.

Was there a justification for this beyond ā€œthe Donald dropped off a sack of gold plated cash at Infantino’s homeā€ for this? Like bar effed procedure (which was a rumor) or something?

I mean I’m American so I’m super happy about it… but struggling to justify

It is quite a feat making Blatter look less like a snout-in-the-trough pig, but here we are.

Hopefully he gets sent off for an obnoxious foul in the first 5 minutes of the next game.

Thought this tournament might be fixed and it feels like it is.

Well yes… unless the cash is going directly into their personal pockets.

Interesting they have announced this BEFORE coming up with the bs justification.
