HonkEm Posted July 5 Posted July 5 (edited) That's great news...Thks Hank This was really Weird The strangest part isn’t even that Balogun’s playing - it’s that FIFA basically admitted their own rules are optional if they feel like it. For two days every official line was, “Red‑card suspensions cannot be appealed.” Full stop. Then suddenly Article 27 gets pulled out of the attic like some forgotten cheat code and poof, the ban is suspended. So yeah, the takeaway isn’t “Balogun is available.” It’s “FIFA has a magic button they pretend doesn’t exist until they need it. This is all starting to feel like the NCAA all over again 😀 Edited July 5 by HonkEm 6 1 Quote

Also - the play of Bosnia was borderline rugby-like. Pulling on jerseys, extremely physical. Yet when our chap gets tangled up with theirs they whip out the red card. 2 Quote

tommym Posted July 5 Posted July 5 This whole World Cup has been strange. Probably going to get stranger if Mexico beats England and America beats Belgium. Really bizarre. 1 Quote

Very much so, I mean a lot of older players for Americans to see before retiring like Neymar and Ronaldo. But, it is exciting for Morocco and Norway. Hopefully Mexico tonight. 1 Quote
