I respectfully disagree. The calls shouldn't be able to be overturned

They need to have a process where a panel reviews the red card On The Spot (immediately after the call during the game.) The idea of changing a call 2 or 3 days later is Begging for Problems. We are already seeing that. It doesn't matter what kind of "process" is out in place after the game that allows for the call to possibly be overturned because that process, no matter how buttoned up or regimented or scientific WILL BE influenced by politics and political power. It will get to the point where you have 2000 people showing up at FIFA headquarters and protesting and fans hackling the Officials at FIFA to where that pressure has major influence. And for a team like Ivory Coast which has less influence and is a long way from Europe, their calls will not be as likely to be reversed. It will be a **** show

I think it's already a poop show and FIFA is as corrupt or more
ElbertoHokie 07/06/26 10:07 AM ET
We disagree some. But we agree on FIFA being corrupt.
