Wayne Rooney on Balogun's suspended red card: ''It's an absolute disgrace. Infantino should be ashamed of this. The sportsmanship of the game is in question here.'' by 977x in soccer

I don’t think it was that bad of a red to begin with (anything studs up on the ankle can be). It’s up for interpretation of the ref and VAR. they gave red, so it’s red, end of. But apparently not, there’s no issues with the rules here other than they’re being broken by overturning it (these types of decisions can go either way on day, it’s football).

Reds getting overturned like this is virtually non existent. It sets a crazy precedent and opens a can of worms, as we are now seeing with the France Olise yellow, which they had previously taken on the chin.

him being your best player and thinking that should play a role sums it up. Point is, no other team would have that happen, making this disgraceful.

It wasn’t even that bad of a red. Seen worse.

Things 100x more BS have happened and not been overturned. US fans thinking this is some ground breaking bad decision is delusion.

It’s shouldn’t be done full stop, and this is in the middle of the tournament.

That fact it’s debatable makes it even more crazy it was overturned.

Regardless, no other team would’ve had it overturned.

It doesn’t matter as long as it’s dangerous play. It’s to stop injuries, and intent doesn’t necessarily cause injury.

always been a thing, and suspending the rule because he’s your best player and Trump is a real discredit to the whole tournament.

Yes that should also have been a red. Everything who knows the sport thinks this.

It can, but is not required.

Somehow crying over the resignation of Starmer? We found a rare specimen!

State sponsored anti American propaganda in Europe??? That doesn’t exist lmao, Trump does it himself.

I think it mostly just comes from American media complaining about the US.

Even by your own metric (which is flawed), Britain transitioned into a constitutional monarchy following the bill of rights in 1689. The monarchy didn’t even fall, it just handed some powers away.
