FIFA Corruption Thread

I once told someone I prefer Ronaldo to Messi

You should be locked up & the key thrown away. And to think they let your type breed

Just imagine the things I wont admit to

No No No I’m not going to that dark place

Kudos to owning up to that one. I’d have probably taken it to the grave

It took me longer than Id like to admit to realise Konsa was a different player to Quansah last week after he got sent off (TBF I only had the audio on).

I thought the commentary had gone whack.

For the centenary only of course of look it worked well (we made a lot of money) let's keep it at 64

Talk of expanding WC to 64 teams in 2030

The Balogun decision was a disgrace but unless people (FA's) keep pressure on it will get forgotten/swept under carpet

Quansah has been handed a 2 match ban FFS! He was high and studs up but his leg bounces off the ball and then into the player who is in the air. Red was the right decision, a one match ban would have been fine.

Balogun was nowhere near the ball, dragged his studs down his Achilles and then almost snaps his ankle. Plays the next game - WTF. FIFA are just making **** up again.

Yep - both red cards for sure. Balogun's fould could have seriously injured the player. They're not even tryng to hide the blatant corruption now.

It's been farcical for awhile now, even now more so during the WORLD CUP where a billion eyes are on it, surely this is bordering on slight shades of Oly Berlin '36 and cronyism within certain inner cycles? How on earth is this even real? Absolute mockery in terms of values and integrity to the world game.

So long to the US of A. It’s not the players or the fans fault but that decision to overturn the red card had the majority of football fans supporting Belgium.

[Exiled_red]

The FA are considering asking FIFA to overturn Quansahs card. It was an absolute stick on Red - there’s no case whatsoever, other than the corruption of the Balagun card.

What a farce.

Given that FIFA haven't given a reason for their decision I think every team can feel that it's worth their while appealing because no one knows the rules anymore. If it wastes a load of FIFA time, tough **** they brought this on themselves.

Bellingham isn't suspended, cards are wiped after group stage, if he gets a yellow against Norway (and England get through) he would miss the semi final though.

Oh ok the commentator we had said he’d miss the next match. Good news
