The reversal of Folarin Balogun’s World Cup suspension is highly unusual. It was the first time since 1962 that FIFA has nullified a suspension for a red card received during the World Cup.

      If I were them, I’d get that plastic-metallic-coated shit and give that to him to steal, and give the real one to the team.

      Just to troll the shit out of him. (But they like him, so eww)

        Unfortunately, the reverse already happened.

        Infantino (president of FIFA/the Trump of sports) gave him the original made of precious metals and he kept it. The one awarded to the winning team is going to be a replica 🤬
