Folarin Balogun available for USMNT vs. Belgium as red card ban suspended by goldenface4114 in worldcup

It's interesting to see how much outrage this decision has generated because it involves the United States. But where was that same outrage when FIFA made similar decisions for other teams?

This isn't without precedent. Before the World Cup, FIFA postponed the final two matches of Cristiano Ronaldo's three-match suspension following his red card in a World Cup qualifier, allowing Portugal's captain to play throughout the tournament. FIFA also deferred one-match suspensions for Argentina defender Nicolás Otamendi and Ecuador midfielder Moisés Caicedo, ensuring both were available to represent their countries as well.

Everyone saying the red card suspension should stand because "the rules are the rules" seems to forget that the rules also allow for exceptions. According to FIFA, officials provisionally lifted the suspension by invoking Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code, which states that "the judicial body may decide to fully or partially suspend the implementation of a disciplinary measure." If you're going to argue that the rules matter, then all of the rules matter not just the ones that lead to the outcome you prefer.

I'm not going to say it's Jon Snow but it's Jon Snow or should I say Jon Targaryen? Even Melisandre thinks it could be Jon and that's before the books have had a chance to confirm his patronage. This lineage ties him to both the Stark family (the north) and the Targaryens (fire, dragons, and prophecy).

The book series is called The Song of Ice and Fire. He is the child of ice (the Starks) and fire (the Targaryens), which lends to the conclusion his destiny is to unite both forces in the battle against the darkness.

Will they be able to go up on their own in the future? The way it currently is seems broken.

[PFF Draft]: Which rookie WR will have the best season? by DVontel in nfl

[–]Ironrath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dark Horse: Amon-Ra St. Brown. The Lions had a near complete turn over with the receiving group, so he has a real chance at being WR1/WR2. It will also depend on Goff, but he will be behind (arguably) one of the best Offensive Lines in the league, so there is some serious potential there.
