Belgium, you need to save football Just refuse to play FIFA will lose millions of dollars. Broadcaster and sponsors will be furious And that is all that counts to them

Balogun olayından sonra Belçika - Amerika maçı

Tonight, in Mexico City, is the most expensive game in sports history -- relative to the price and stadium size. The cheapest seat for Mexico vs. England, four hours before kick, is $4,585. There are 87,523 seats in Estadio Azteca!

Sources: President Trump, commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, and White House task force head Andrew Giuliani put together a team of elite lawyers — from outside the government — to challenge the Flo Balogun red card. Specifically they challenged the use of slow motion instant replay to give the red card, which they argued violated FIFA rules. The president also conveyed to Gianni Infantino, FIFA’s president, that the appeal had been filed and he believed the red card penalty was excessive. FIFA’s independent committee reviewed the decision and agreed the penalty was incorrectly given, rescinding it under their rule 27 authority.

I guess you can almost break someones leg and be good guys. This is crazy stuff!!!

🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card. FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee. FIFA sources insist White House influence could not affect the decision due to the powers contained in Article 27 and the independent nature of the disciplinary panel.

Yahoo Sports has confirmed a report from @TheAthletic that Folarin Balogun’s suspension has been lifted by FIFA and he’s eligible to play tomorrow for USMNT vs Belgium.
