The Belgian players taking the piss and doing the Donald Trump dance. Love it!!! BBC SportWorld Cup 2026: 'A sense of injustice' - Belgium say Trum...Belgium's Nicolas Raskin says Fifa's decision to allow US striker Folarin Balogun to play against them fired them up for the last-16 tie in Seattle.

Com'on Tottenham. You know you want to. You have been buying everyone else over the last few weeks. Go for it.

Trump favour backfires as US exit World Cup in humiliating fashion https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/602e789672818827

USA and Trump pumped 4-1. Justice is served. Trump should have told Infantino that they should have been allowed 14 players on the pitch. Might have only been 3-1 then.

Vamos Espana.

The Trump Effect has already caused repercussions in the soccer ball world. Reuters: Europe It has been confirmed that Nicola Sturgeon, former First Minister of Scotland and leader of The Scottish National Party from 2014 to 2023 has twice telephoned Gianni Infantino, President of FIFA, to request that England's third goal, scored by Sir Geoff Hurst in the 1966 World Cup final, be rescinded and the game declared null and void as VAR was not available to conclusively prove that the ball had crossed the line. A FIFA spokesman has said that the request has been forwarded to US President Donald Trump for a final decision. Ms Sturgeon said "I am confident that my good friend President Trump will look on this favourably, as we both use the same fake tan supplier and he fingered me when I was 12". 4 hours ago - Reuters

Please see your examples which I assume are a poorly executed copy and paste attempt to back up your stance on this, and then note the key bolded and underlined sections. So one question. How many players missed their next international games? Answer......... All of them.

And it appears to be confirmed that Trump did contact Infantino. https://edition.cnn.com/2026/07/06/politics/trump-world-cup-balogun-red-card-infantino-analysis It is highly unlikely we will ever get full disclosure on the Epstein files, but perhaps they could try and bring the Infantino tapes into the public domain.

"Balogun was sent off after his foot landed on the ankle of Bosnia's Tarik Muharemovic, causing it to buckle. The other 12, apart from Balogun, have served a suspension for at least the next World Cup game their country participated in. Fifa enacted a clause in its disciplinary code which allows it to "fully or partially suspend the implementation of a disciplinary measure". This is in contradiction to the regulations of the tournament, which state that if a player receives a red card "they will automatically be suspended from their team's subsequent match". Two other pertinent points. Ronaldo's Red card didn't happen at the World Cup finals, it happened in the qualifying rounds. And Ronaldo was suspended for the next qualifying game.

Reading is a great way of educating yourself and helping you give a properly informed opinion. You should give it a try one day. BBC SportWorld Cup 2026: Uefa claim 'integrity of the game is at s...Uefa says Fifa's decision not to uphold Folarin Balogun's immediate ban at the World Cup is "unprecedented, incomprehensible and unjustifiable".

Didn't watch it live but have seen it this morning. A performance with real grit, determination and character that I didn't think this England team were capable of. However, I cannot move past the Balogun suspension decision. It is a totally outrageous and corrupt U-turn by FIFA, (I don't care how much pressure they were under from the US media and Trump administration), that has completely tainted the Soccer Ball World Cup for me. Hoping for De Bruyne to roll back the years and a Lukaku hat-trick tomorrow morning.

Exactly how I feel too. It is a staggering decision by Infantino. Absolutely praying that America get beaten by the Belgians. And if not the Belgians, anyone they play. Trump is a cancer on the World.

That's it for Canada. 2 - 0

Enzo Fernandez -

Of all the players to score it has to be that Tottenham c*unt.

If it gets to penalties I fancy Cape Verde to pull it off.

Never thought I would see a better footballer than Pele, but Messi is damn close.

Brilliant!! 👏

You've all seen the pre-fight ring walk shows at big boxing matches where the fighters tart about to their chosen song and then take half an hour to get off the stage and in the ring. Well imagine the same thing at a football game. The player stands in the tunnel, his name is anounced to the crowd, and he runs on to an appropriate song choice. What do you think those songs might be? Here's a few to get us started; Robert Sanchez - Footloose (Kenny Loggins) Malo Gusto - I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down (Elvis Costello) Reece James - Broken (Seether ft. Amy Lee) Alejandro Gazpacho - The Wheels On The Bus - (Cocomelon Nursery) Nicolas Jackson - I Missed Again (Phil Collins) Mikhailo Mudryk - The Drugs Don't Work (The Verve) Cole Palmer - The Haircut Song (Ray Stevens)

Problem is Jacko had such a great World Cup it's going to be hard to keep hold of him. Reliable insiders say Peterborough are very, very keen on him.

Phil. Com'on you're killing soccer ball. Hydration breaks when it's raining. VAR decisions fo' sh*ts and giggles. Immigration hassles for players, officials and fans. Over priced match tickets and travel costs. And the worst is probably yet to come when DT turns up at the final and gets an on pitch hand job from Infantino. Your stadiums though, are magnificent.

Except VAR rulings have all the consistency of Donald Trump's policy decisions. It's a no from me Bob.
