I don't really blame them. They aren't arguing that it was a red card or not. But they are pissed that FIFA didn't appraise them of what was going on, offer an explanation, and Belgium had to find out about it on social media. It's a fair complaint, and from the outside looking in, probably does appear to the rest of the world to be favoritism.
