Trump asks FIFA to lift a red card on a USA player

FIFA agrees

But apparently, there's a rule that any government intervention in the world cup would result in the country being banned from playing. Belgium, the country USA is playing against next, complains about the special treatment and asks for an explanation

FIFA quotes a section in their rules to justify the decision, but which actually doesn't apply to the situation because, as mentioned, no government is allowed to intervene. And any referee decisions in a match are supposed to be final

Belgium wins the right to file an appeal, opening the floodgates for other countries and football associations to file complaints on all the unfair referee decisions throughout this world cup

Context: One of Croatia's goals was disallowed because technology showed "it touched the hair on a player" even though no camera angle shows it touching...

What a debut!

They left their sweat and tears on that pitch and gave it their all.

A kiss with death
