      My thinking was that it may have/should have been overturned anyway since it was a bad initial call, but the orange wanted to put his name on it and everyone is giving him too much credit. I genuinely believe they would have rescinded the red regardless of him and he just had to put his rancid stank all over it.

      I played all growing up, in college, and in coed leagues post-college and to this day. A couple of my friends were opining about different calls nd it made me realize one of the quickest ways to get me mad is to talk about a game you can’t even play. I know ball. It was the right decision and also the US team looked like clowns. I was at the game and nearly got heatstroke and they never deserved to even get this far but can we stop giving credit to the slug man?

        oh you know nothing Jon Snow… that never happened before… de FIFA never overturned a red card in the history of FIFA and there where much worse calls than this one. Its just something that never happens, best you get is a officials report stating that it was a wrong call…3 or 5 weeks after said incident happened. That was pure corruption.

          Sweet summer child…are we talking exclusively in boring meme language now? Is this the level of discourse on this site? Disappointing. All I was saying was that overturning reds is not unprecedented and the cheeto demon should not be given sole credit, much as he wants it.

          I love it when people who can’t play sports argue with me about them. Coed game is on Thursday, come play with me and then we can talk.

                Considering how you treated the other person I would say you and I are of a similar ilk.

                Also - not playing a sport does not exclude others from being aware of the issues.

                Your standard is impassable.
