Correct brother. They took the red card completely off the books going forward for this World Cup, so he starts anew with no penalties accrued. If Balogun gets a yellow card, he still gets to keep playing until he gets a second yellow card. The compensation for getting rid of the previous red card is a one year probation status for a whole year after the World Cup finishes.
I disagree 100%.
Looking into it more, they did not remove the red card. All they did was, like you said, suspend the suspension.
You can disagree all you want. You and the rest of the 1% that disagree.
No. Weve had an easy run so far and have landed on our feet getting Norway in the quarters but that is as far as we'll get.
The defense was amazing the last 30 minutes. Mexico was too small and didn’t have the top striker to get it done. Great great match.
I am on the Norway bandwagon. Elite striker, playing well, goalie… they got something going.
I only root for the US. I don't mind if Norway wins. They got the viking fans rowing. It's all cool. I'm just looking for good matches. England, Norway, Colombia and Argentina. I don't think any are that much better or worse than the other. I haven't seen the Swiss play, so I can't comment.
To be clear I am all in on the US. America always. That said I kinda like this Norway team.
I'm a casual, but a friend explained it to me pretty well-- Mexico can produce talent that succeeds on the global stage at the youth level. However, they grow up and don't typically leave Mexico because Liga MX is a very comfortable landing spot. While it's lucrative and well run, it just doesn't have the same level of competition as Spain, England, and Italy/Germany, and therefore the talent kind of stalls out.
Feels like England is the tougher team this year
I see a path to the final.
