#balogun — Public Fediverse posts

“ #Trump’s role in clearing Folarin #Balogun from a mandatory one-game ban at the World Cup is set to provoke a formal complaint to #Fifa ethics investigators.

The #Norway soccer federation said Thursday its board of directors will consider filing the complaint at its next meeting, likely on 6 August.

Norway previously joined an NGO’s complaint to #Fifa alleging Infantino breached a statutory duty of political neutrality, by creating a peace prize to award to Trump.”

Folarin Balogun wist dat het omzetten van zijn schorsing op het WK voetbal tot ophef zou leiden. Dat zei de spits van het Amerikaanse elftal in een interview met nieuwszender CBS. Zijn schorsing van één wedstrijd werd voorafgaand aan de achtste finale tegen België door de FIFA omgezet in een...

Some will argue that the defeat in Seattle proves the whole #Balogun affair was harmless. He played, the Americans lost, no damage done. But the damage was never in the result, as much as it was in the attempt. A rule that a phone call can set aside is not made sound again because that particular call failed to produce a win. A norm does not survive on the understanding that bending it counts only when it works.

Belgium won the match cleanly, and that is the end of this particular story. It is not the end of the precedent. A head of state has shown that he can call the custodian of a global game and shift a verdict reached on the pitch. On Monday, it didn’t impact the game’s outcome. It may not always.

A good friend of mine spent several patient minutes explaining, procedurally, how Trump's call could have had no effect on the re-evaluation of #Balogun's red card.

Even granting that, the stench of corruption around both #Trump and #FIFA make even ultimately disproven accusations seem credible.

Ironically, the best thing that happened to the US #Soccer Team was losing the Belgium, as any overall wins would have been tainted by Trump's inappropriate actions.

#MAGA #propaganda

#MAGA clowns are posting this like it’s a good thing.

#Trump getting Folarin #Balogun unsuspended from the #World #Cup just shows you that everything he touches is delegitimate crap.

Now, if the #US wins the #World #Cup, it will be questioned. Thanks, #Trump.

Wer jetzt hofft, die Nummer mit #Balogun könnte Infantinos Machtposition ins Wanken bringen: Eher nicht.

Warum, erklärt @[email protected] hier sehr gut.

Even with cheating, the USA lost badly to Brussels in almost all areas except ball possession and number of passes. Overall, I like how the USA team plays — fast football, similar to the mid-table teams in the EPL — but the cheating was disgusting.

The world cup isn't doing anything to change my mind that fifa & USA are nothing more than corrupt bullies.

Für alles das, was gestern rund um dieses Spiel und danach dann auf dem Platz geschehen ist, hat die deutsche Sprache ein Wort erfunden. Es lautet:

BÄRENDIENST

Und das alles nur, weil 2 alte, weiße, narzisstische Männer meinen, sie könnten mit DEM Weltsport machen, was sie wollten.

#Trump #DonaldTrump #America #USA #WorldCup #FIFA #RedCard #American #Sport #Football #News #UnitedStates #Corrupt #Balogun #BBC #BBCNews I love today’s BBC News headline regarding the the Trump/Balogun red card fiasco. Full points to Belgium for their 4-1 victory, and bonus points for their flawless sarcasm…

Nach erneutem Anruf von Trump bei Infantino:

Das Ergebnis des Achtelfinales USA-Belgien (Endstand 1:4) von vergangener Nacht wird von der FIFA annulliert. Das Spiel wird zu einem noch nicht genannten Termin wiederholt…

Haha:
"Balogun ist übrigens nur US‑Bürger, weil seine hochschwangere Mutter einst an einem Rückflug nach London gehindert wurde und ihren Sohn deshalb in New York zur Welt bringen musste. Und in den USA bekommt jeder die Staatsbürgerschaft, der dort geboren ist. Genau das versucht Donald Trump gerade abzuschaffen. Ginge es also nach ihm, hätte es einen US-Nationalspieler Balogun wohl nie gegeben."
