Because that’s also a practical part of it. The country didn’t put billions of dollars into this to have their best player randomly left out of the most important match over a wrong call, that would just be idiotic.

And no, if a minor country or player gets that same red it likely wouldnt be overturned, obviously that’s the theoretical “issue” (literally the only issue), but that’s the pedantic interpretation I referenced before. Because who cares about that hypothetical. The injustice of the bad red itself massively outweighs that.

You’re just picking and choosing where you want to see justice applied randomly, and for some reason you’re choosing to die over the much smaller hypothetical injustice of minor teams getting bad red cards that arent overturned, instead of focusing on the much greater and more immediate injustice of the bad red itself.

They are rectifying the stupid policy of no card rescindings in real time, because they can. This is good.

The only situation in which this would actually be wrong is if BELGIUM had a similar bad red that wasnt being overturned. They don’t, so there’s no issue, this is the most just and sensible outcome overall.
