So… after the ridiculous peace prize trump is now even forcing FIFA to manipulate the game in their favour.
If Europe had any balls we would just go home and start a new organisation to replace the corrupt FIFA. We should have never even accepted to play in trumpistan
Article 66.4 of the same disciplinary code: “A sending-off automatically incurs suspension from the subsequent match. The FIFA judicial bodies may impose additional match suspensions and other disciplinary measures.”
They already ratfucked Iran by making them travel 12 hours by bus from Tijuana to Seattle and back on match day, and by cancelling a winning goal for a supposed offside. Dallas police attacked the Egyptian coach in the airport. This tournament has been the nail in the coffin of FIFA. This is just blatant hyper corruption, sort of a US style UFC-isation of football that the rest of the world will have a difficult time to digest.
FIFA has always been corrupt, from displacement and human trafficking to this. Same as Olympics, NFL, NBA, boxing, WWF, dogfighting, MMA, ad infinitum. People should wake up. Sports aren’t wrong, commodification is messed all the way up.
Hmm… TJ to Seattle is like 1200mi/2000km, so you’re looking at nearly 20 hours before factoring in stops.
edit: 2000km, not 200km
