Trump lobbied Fifa to lift Folarin Balogun suspension for World Cup game v Belgium
(www.theguardian.com)
And this right here is why I decided to boycott this World Cup. Clearly, I didn't know that this would happen, but I had a suspicion something like this might happen. Allowing Ronaldo to play by removing his 2 game suspension was bullshit, but this is doing a cannonball into the crazy end of the pool.
And FIFA even had a non-crazy way to handle this, which is the stupid part. All they had to do was say that VAR didn't follow the proper protocols, so the Red Card was lifted. Nope. They just embraced the crazy.
