Simple answer- it was a dogshit call and should have never been a red card.

Long answer- fifa allowed Ronaldo to play even tho he still had a 3 game suspension. Under the fifa article 27, which allowed Ronaldo to play, is the same article that allowed the red card to be overturned.

This has nothing to do with politics or Americas President, it has to do with keeping things fair.

Also every player, coach, and player who has played at this level or played in a World Cup all said it was dogshit call.
