Tango man is a disgrace… and FIFA are playing a very dangerous
game by allowing Trump to dictate policy to them.

hi,
this is getting ridiculous - can't imagine anyone would want to
referee USABEL now [emoji15] talk about a 'poisoned chalice'
[emoji30]
very sad state of affairs - makes you wonder if a negative
result on-field this evening for USA will be the final result or
might it be subject to 'amendment'? [emoji19]
regards,
gnr

Makkelie will probably be the unlucky one, they've always given
him the really tough games. (Well UEFA have at least). Hope not
as he may be in with a shout at the final if it goes to UEFA -
might make up a bit for all the times he should have had the CL
final but didn't.

I am guessing that the reluctance to issue cautions is a
consequence of the rule that a suspension is imposed after two
yellow cards, a rule that is normal in international
tournaments, but stricter than (most of) those that apply in
domestic league competitions. It would seem that 'football has
decided' that it does not want teams to be denied players merely
on the basis of two cautions. But if it is felt that too many
suspensions compromise the sporting integrity of the tournament
(questionable) or if the media companies that have paid vast
sums for the television or streaming rights are frightened that
their profits will be affected by the absence of important
players (perhaps more plausible), I would have thought the
answer would be to make the suspension rule a little more
lenient, but to continue applying the laws of the game.

Jarell Quansah has been given a two match ban following the red
card he received during England’s win over Mexico. It is the
right decision and should not be controversial. FIFA's complete
lack of consistency and conduct around Folarin Balogun's red
card has made it controversial.
