the match where, given that trump stepped in and unfairly got the red card suspension lifted, we might as well go ahead and congratulate belgium on the round. sure, they say there is no justice in football, but the game really does love writing scenarios like this one. honestly, i would not even be surprised if folarin balogun did something that ends up hurting his own team's chances.
because of the scandal over the red card suspension being deferred, i am hoping belgium just refuses to take the field. there is no way a disgrace like this stands. let us see how the referee is going to give a card against the usa now.
in all these years of world cup history, nothing as scandalous as the cancellation of balogun's red card through political channels has ever happened. belgium was very clearly robbed of what it deserved. belgium needs to win this match and teach politics a lesson.
