What is even more laughable is that, despite their notorious corruption, FIFA hasn't learned that you make damn sure your refs and replay officials do everything in their power to keep the best, most entertaining players on the field. Taking out a host country's best scorer, one tied for the lead in most goals scored, in the World Cup on a electronic replay call on a foul that wasn't even carded in the first place is a situation you should never find yourself in as an international professional sports organization.

It's because of Trump. They heard he was involved, so now the TDS is kicking in. It really sucks for the USMT.

None of this is an issue if the referee just did his fucking job in the first place. A referee who was investigated for sports betting and irregular red cards in Brazil's Serie A league, btw.

Who cares it makes it more fun just remind any whining Eurocuck why they’re whining to you in English instead of German and say you’re welcome.

The funny thing is that, if what I read is true, FIFA did this for CR7 so he could start in the first game of this WC. Yet, I think this was a good decision, no way Balogun deserved a red for that, at all.

What an absolute embarrassment for the sport of soccer. To be clear, it’s embarrassing that a red card was called and that people are losing their minds over it being reversed.

It's literally only because of Trump.

They were silent on aaaalllll the corrupt shit FIFA does, yet NOW it's threatening the "integrity" of the sport.

How the fuck do you let a ref like that anywhere NEAR an international competition? Whether he was found guilty or not, nope nope nope.

I find it crazy we are going go lose this match! We have Maximus, Commander of the armies of the north, as our coach!

Because you're FIFA.

US defense is so fucking trash. It makes Dortmund's shitty defense look world class. Tim Ream needs to be put out to pasture.

Nobody gives a fuck about soccer again once we realize that the USMNT can't even field a team with a goalie that can...kick a fucking soccer ball.

This whole match has been like watching a college team play an NFL team. Just a massive difference in game understanding and fundamentals. Oh, and the US can't play any goddamn defense either.

Pulisic Ream and Freese… lol. Just fucking lol. Million miles away, so just like always. No big improvement or reason to gas up 2030. The run through the group masked a lot of shit we all saw in lead up to wc, which was on full display tonight. Crazy defending, no leadership, best players hiding. Bye poch

Yup, that's the real USA team sadly. You'd think it would just be pure instinct for Freese to kick that ball out of danger. It boggles the mind he second guessed himself there.
