So to recap what happened with the USMNT: • Balogun received a bogus red card • VAR protocol isn't followed (no slow-mo) • Trump calls Infantino to ask about the process • US Soccer lawyers preapre & submit an appeal FIFA's independent 18-person disciplinary committee then met, approved the appeal, and told Balogun he could play in Monday's match against Belgium. That's what everyone is complaining about? All rules were followed, and that same process is open to every other country. The only difference is everyone knows the red card was a mistake to begin with.
