The US striker was shown red in the team’s last-32 match, but the card and its suspension were thought to not be eligible for appeal.

    Genuinely the most blatantly corrupt thing I’ve ever seen FIFA do.

    It’s over for me. The world cup was never 100% fair, but this is just straight up wild. If political pressure can be used to get FIFA to take away red cards. What’s to say it isn’t being used to tell FIFA to make referees favour a team.

    There’s no point in watching a corrupt sport that is speedrunning towards fixed.

    I will only be watching the CONIFA world cup from now on.

      The World Cup that has been canceled? When is the next one? Even their site doesn’t list a World Cup since 2024
