Disciplinary measures may be limited to a geographical area or to one or more specific categories of match or competition. 3. When determining the disciplinary measure, the judicial body shall take into account all relevant factors of the case, including any assistance of and substantial cooperation by the offender in uncovering or establishing a breach of any FIFA rule, the circumstances and the degree of the offender’s guilt and any other relevant circumstances. 4.

literally the same incident, Messi’s is arguably worse as it was an attempted tackle unlike Balogun landing at the same time as the opposition

Has any other player had a ban suspended to play at the World Cup? There has not been a World Cup reprieve quite the same as Ronaldo's, where a three-match ban has remained in place but partially suspended. But there several other examples of Fifa looking kindly upon players, reducing their ban from the mandatory punishment. The World Cup finals are the pinnacle of most players' careers. Articles 25 and 27 give Fifa the freedom to consider the merits and impact of a suspension. And it's not only been about star players. In 2014, France defender Laurent Koscielny was sent off for slapping Ukraine's Oleksandr Kucher in the first leg of the World Cup play-off. Like Ronaldo, Koscielny was automatically banned for his country's final qualifying fixture. Fifa then chose not to extend the Arsenal centre-back's suspension beyond one match, allowing him to play at the World Cup. Croatia's Mario Mandzukic should have missed the opening two games of the 2014 finals after he was sent off for serious foul play in the second leg of the play-off win over Iceland. Fifa gave him a one-game ban, meaning he could play the second match against Cameroon - a 4-0 win in which he scored twice. Towards the end of qualifying for the 2006 World Cup, Netherlands midfielder Phillip Cocu was sent off for an alleged retaliatory elbow on an Albania player. Fifa chose to ban Cocu for two matches, meaning he missed the final Uefa qualifiers against the Czech Republic and Macedonia, but was free for the opening match of the World Cup. Japan's Makoto Hasebe was sent off for an elbow at the end of qualifying for the 2010 World Cup, and like Cocu was given two matches. He was not so lucky, however, as the second match was the first game of the World Cup. Likewise, Iran's Saeid Ezatolahi was sent off for bringing his boot down on the head of an opponent in their penultimate qualifier. Fifa chose to give the midfielder two games rather than three, and he missed just the first game at the 2018 World Cup. In 2002, Mexico midfielder Jesus Arellano was given a three-match ban for violent conduct against Costa Rica. He missed the final qualifier against Honduras and was set to sit out the first two matches of the World Cup. But Mexico were successful in a late appeal just before the finals kicked off, claiming the suspension was too harsh. Arellano's ban was reduced and he only had to sit out their opener. What about James and Rooney? England midfielder Lauren James was sent off at the 2023 Women's World Cup for standing on the back of Nigeria's Michelle Alozie. James feared she would get a three-match suspension, meaning she would be ruled out for the remainder of the tournament. But Fifa decided to give James two games and she was able to return as a substitute in England's 1-0 final defeat by Spain. England also had success with Wayne Rooney's suspension for Euro 2012. The Manchester United striker was given a three-match ban for kicking Miodrag Dzudovic during a 2-2 draw with Montenegro in the final qualifier. Rooney would have missed the whole of the group stage, but England had it reduced to two matches on appeal. He then scored the only goal of the game against Ukraine, which ensured England topped their group.

Mudryk is

So the same way they suspended 2 of Ronaldo's banned games for the world cup?

Ahh yes, the ever impartial BBC. Here's some more bedtime reading for you: https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/cristiano-ronaldo-precedent-fifa-changing-165937388.html Let me know if you need help with any of the big words. Here are the relevant laws too: Article 27 says Fifa can "fully or partially suspend" a disciplinary measure for "a probationary period of one to four years". And Article 25 states "the relevant Fifa judicial body may scale down the disciplinary measure to be imposed or even dispense with it entirely".

Santos and Mainoo would be a very good midfield for the next decade.

Lacroix is on 50k a week currently. Stick him on 100k.

Have we even had any youth development since 2024? Maybe he's the man behind the masterful handling of Washington.

Precedent was set when they overturned Ronaldo's decision. They did the same for Garrincha in 1962. This is nothing new, it wasn't a red for Balogun. Messi did the same thing a couple of games ago and it wasn't a red.

Joe Shields strikes again

England are massive. Winning the lot. The sun never sets on our Empire.

Cucu was the high earner. He’s gone so can cover Wharton’s salary. Then sell Santos to cover Palestra’s salary. I doubt Wharton happens though.

A.Santos leaving is certainly one of the ones we'll look back on in a couple of years and regret.

With his injury record and wages there's no way we sell RJ.

I think that falls under the 'cashing in on Neil Bath' category

In theory good business until you realise his Everton stint was better than anything we’ve ever seen from Gittens, Garnacho and Neto.

Enzo Fernandez - Run Fat Boy Run by Dirty Pretty Things

Water is also wet

I would rather him have acted with respect and integrity towards the club that had given him the chance at this level.

Rumours in the media today he wants out to go to Liverpool. The curse will soon be lifted. Please let this bum leave alongside Gusto and Enzo and then let’s do this rebuild properly.

So not 150k a week and likely includes all bonuses being achieved.

Spurs having a worryingly competent transfer window, lets hope it massively backfires.
