So the red card can’t be appealed?

frick em. Bulletin board material. Poch will get them ready.

ESPN is reporting that the VAR team went outside protocol, using slow motion and stills, to recommend a review. They’re supposed to review it at game speed.

That could be interesting.

People trying to reason with FIFA decisions.

Seeing how we got the result wouldn’t be surprised if incoming.

Serious foul play or violent conduct can result in a three-match ban if the disciplinary committee decides he recklessly endangered an opponent's safety

I’m sure that policy is nothing the threat of a Treasury Department inspection couldn’t change.

They need to appeal the fact that the card was given on the recommendation of a review that broke the VAR protocol.

Essentially, that there never should have even been a review.

frick FIFA. We will keep this train going regardless of their bullshite. What I'd like to see is the American sports media to have a backbone along with some national pride and BLAST the image or video of Messi doing the same exact thing, but not receiving any kind of card. Show them that we see the hypocrisy clearly. Ohh, and ban the FIFA president from attending any more US games as long as we are still alive in the tourney.

Also VAR ref didn’t use it correctly. We should absolutely be raising hell over this.

No mechanism I'm taking as no official process. We can certainly unofficially raise hell though and see what happens. We should have a team doing nothing but this for the next 72 hours

Messi's was more egregious and he didn't even get a yellow
