Cool story hoops. Nice to see him reinstated. Really bad call for red card.

Balogun cleared to play on Monday. Trump called the FIFA president to see about it. Probably all he had to do was show him this:

@GriznMN when you go to the store to buy ingredients to make tacos, does the word “hamburger” appear on any list, written or otherwise?

Vamos Mexico!

Good lord, those are delicious. Can’t help but notice that even those mayo mouthed homies called it ground beef.

Irony is lost on Trump. The guy that tried to end birthright citizenship called the FIFA president to see about clearing a U.S.A. player who is a U.S. citizen through birthright citizenship. You can't make this shit up.

Forgive my ignorance as I don’t do a whole lot of grocery shopping in the upper Midwest. Do grocery chains label, say, a pound of ground beef as “hamburger meat?”

FIFA needs to upgrade the quality of its officiating. The Balogun call was an absolute joke, IMHO. But, then again its probably due to my ignorance of soccer rules. There was another red card thrown last night against a English team player. Same thing, playing the ball and contact. A travesty.

The two situations you mention were not the same. In the Balogun situation, the man came from behind, they made contact, and in the normal stepping motion Balogun came down into his calf. The second situation was during intentional motion, he came in "studs up" which is considered dangerous act/reckless challenge. In this situation, your "ball and contact" is irrelevant.

Like I said, I don't know the rules, and never played the game. Thanks for your take on the call and play.

The further the games, the better the quality of play. Some amazing athletes showing their stuff.

The contact was more Balogun stepping on the top partof ankle, not really the calf. Small point.
