Bingo. This is the can of worms that has been opened

I don't blame Trump. He did what any other political leader would do, but we can't blame the President of France or Putin or Japan or whoever in 4 or 8 years when we are in the same situation. And people will learn from this. Now that they understand calls can be changed 2 days later, creativity enters the equation. We will see something comparable to political action campaigns to reverse calls in the future and that partially or completely ruins the sport.

Norway's Haaland looks like a Bond villain. 😆

Haaland is an f'n beast.**

Xenia Onatopp could've kept the Netherlands alive.

This plus Balogun has been reinstated.
Snape • 07/05/26 01:08 PM ET
Should have never been called, but also should have never been overturned.
Hate2SeeItEnd Hokie • 07/06/26 07:25 AM ET
Agreed. The involvement of our president in this decision detracts
Hokie622 • 07/06/26 08:07 AM ET
It's not just the President, it's FIFAs ability to be influenced later on
Hate2SeeItEnd Hokie • 07/06/26 08:22 AM ET
Agreed. I don't like where this is taking us.**

"Looking"? 😂😂**
HokieNL • 07/06/26 07:47 AM ET
As it should have been. That red card was BS.**

Justice Prevails. Should Not Have Received One in the First Place**

The Messi effect. He didn't get a red card, yet Balogun did.
Snape • 07/05/26 02:57 PM ET
True but unfortunate it took until today

Belgium is pitching a bish which I find amusing.
Snape • 07/05/26 09:05 PM ET
If they are complaining, maybe they don't think a win is "in the bag"**
EDGEMAN • 07/06/26 05:40 AM ET
Why would they care about those?
Pride_and_Joy • 07/05/26 09:50 PM ET
I think we get through Belgium and eventually crush the French.
